A statement from Kumon said the roundtable discussion saw industry captains such as founding president of the Early Childhood Care and Education Council Datuk Dr Chiam Heng Keng, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur child psychologist Katyana Azman, and general manager of Kumon Malaysia Yosuke Sugawa sharing their insights on the topic.
Sugawa said: “For over 60 years, we have supported parents, caregivers, instructors and students on the importance of discovering each individual’s potential in over 50 countries and regions around the world.
“In Malaysia, we were established in 1997 and is now the largest after-school enrichment programme. We continue to strive to guide our students to learn how to think, identify and attain their highest potential,” added Sugawa.
Speaking at the expert roundtable session, Dr Chiam shared that a child’s developmental years began from the time they were born.
“The first 24 months of life is the most sensitive period for the optimal development of emotional intelligence which is important to children's holistic development during their growing up years. These are among the important factors to take into consideration to ensure a child is able to maximise his or her learning abilities to the fullest,” added Dr Chiam.
Kumon Malaysia is an after-school Mathematics and English enrichment programme that assists children to achieve his or her fullest potential independently via the Kumon Method. Since its inception in Malaysia in 1997, Kumon Malaysia has over 200 centres nationwide.
