Child Development
The Group is among the pioneers of education development in Sabah, and its efforts begin at the preschool level. To boost children's (1-12 years old) early education growth in Sabah, the Group through its Child Development Division offers preschool programmes through its nurseries, kindergartens and transition classes.
Among the activities conducted under these programmes are tuition for primary schools and support programmes for kindergarten and primary schools.
In 2000, the Group published children's books (words/images) with Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka (in Rumi, Jawi and Arabic translation) and in 2012, a Digital Video Disc (DVD) of a collection of children's songs was produced. A guidebook/manual on Setting up a Preschool Centre was also published in 2013 by the Group. In 2024, the group published the "Big Book" and the Preschool Activity Book (KG1 and KG2). The main purpose of publishing these books is to provide reading material for Ria Kindergarten children, in particular, and preschool children, in general.
