kiddy123 is an online directory for Early Childhood Education in Malaysia, with the objective to simplify the parenting journey for Malaysian parents, by providing them with an extensive directory of children-related business & services providers, parenting tips and guides, and latest updates of events for families and children.
Think of it as your Yellow Pages for anything and everything you need when it comes to searching for your children's educational needs.
Founded in 2013 by husband and wife, Y.E Cheong and Rachel Chiel, kiddy123 quickly become the go-to directory for many Malaysian parents.
By pooling all information on Early Childhood Care and Education, kiddy123's mission is to simplify a parent's search in finding out what's best for their children. The inspiration behind this mission is simple enough - Cheong and Rachel were looking for education options for their daughter when they realised it took them not just days of searching, but equally if not more time than that, in choosing what's best. So putting their heads together, they came up with kiddy123 - a simple, direct, and accurate directory of Malaysia's Early Childhood Care and Education needs.
The pair understand how important it is for parents to trust an establishment before they send their kids, so they make sure their directory is equipped with reviews and rating to help parents make better and more informed decision. kiddy123 list establishments in various categories such as kindergartens, childcare centres, enrichment classes, and kids' activities.
With more than 4000 listings on their site, searching for what you need is as easy as 123!
kiddy123 aims to be so much more than just providing a mean for parents to search for what their children needs because it also offer information, tips, and advice on parenting.
You can read informative content on parenting tips through their 'Ask The Expert' column where they talk about handling day-to-day parenting challenges and also tips on effectively managing children with special conditions. You can also find real-life experience sharing from Asian mothers on many topics e.g. from what it's like being a Stay-At-Home Mom (SAHM) to a parent guide on travelling with your children. We particularly love this piece on how to stay sane if you're an SAHM and this heartfelt feature on handling miscarriage.
Other than helping parents to look for the best educational options, kiddy123 is also passionate in extending a helping hand to the less fortunate families.
By giving back to the community, kiddy123 ensures every parent deserves to give the best to their children and every child gets to experience childhood at its fullest. Working together with their readers, kiddy123 often raise funds and donate to orphanages and shelter homes. You can get in touch with them here if you would like to learn more on how to do your bit for charity.
