We areTaska Damansara Utama

My son goes here since 4 months old and now turned one. When he sees the teacher, he jumps straight into their arms with a big smile, pushes me away too. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he enjoys the daycare a lot. I heard many horror stories, but with this daycare, you don’t have to worry about all that because they genuinely love kids. I can tell from my son’s approach to them. Thank you Learning Steps!

As parents, my wife and I are busy 24/7 and have no time to accompany our wonderful son the god have blessed us with. We have been struggling to find a childcare that suits our need until I found the Taska Damansara Utama childcare. It is a colorful building that is filled with joyful kids playing around and I knew I had to sign up for my beloved son. The teachers there are lovely, caring and kind, they welcomed my son with open arms on the first day. The environment here is clean and spacious which is suitable for my 3-year-old son. Every day, when I fetch my kid home, there would be a smile on his face as he tells his amazing day to me. I could only be jealous of what miraculous activities that had carried out in the childcare which they would spend their, time, energy and money to satisfy my kid. As he grew older it was eventually time to leave, the most painful part as a parent is to see your son cry as he said goodbyes to all his friends and teachers that they grew up with. As he graduated from kindergarten and entered primary school, I decided to enroll him in the learning steps academy. In his first few years in primary school, he could not keep up in class and he have been hiding from his teachers in school. Therefore, I consulted this with the teachers in the daycare and they recommended him to enroll him in extra tuitions. With the patience and determination of the teachers here, my son who was failing started to get better grades. Words couldn’t express how happy I was, I have so must respect towards the teachers here as they continue to do amazing works of "heart" with all children and continue to make the world a better place. All in all, I would like to thank each and every daycare teacher and staff person that has been a part of our family for almost nine years and I will continue to send my child here for as long as the teachers allow me too. It is the creation of the teachers here that has enabled my son to be outgoing, independent and respectful of others.

When my wife and I newly came to Malaysia from Vietnam, we actually struggled to find a good mentor for our twins who were 4-year old. We had to adapt to the unfamiliar language and customs here. Both of our sons also struggled to learn the language because they only knew to speak Vietnamese and Cantonese. Naturally, any parents would want their children to succeed so we enrolled them on this great daycare called Taska Damansara Utama. Unlike other daycares, this one engages with the children there and makes them feel like they’re at home. After just a month, I begin to see improvement in my pair of twins. For the first time ever, I heard them spoke English, Mandarin and Malay. Even words couldn’t express how happy my wife and I were. When they were old enough to join the elite program in the Learning Steps Academy, my sons started learning advanced subjects at the level of a standard 1 student before even going to primary school. Years after years had passed, from being an only Vietnamese and Cantonese speaking twins, they now fluently speak five languages, adding on English, Mandarin and Malay. In a blink of an eye, my proudness for the both of my sons turned into anxiousness because they were going to enter high school. Plus, the pandemic hit and it impacted us badly. I recall my life during high school when I was a gangster and I was barely passing everything. I wish my sons would be smarter to make better decisions. The only source of knowledge they could get was through the Learning Steps Academy online course because the school didn’t even bother to do online teaching. When their finals came, they did it through their laptop on a Google form. To be honest, I think that whole year was wasted for my two boys. On the next year when physical class restarted, I knew this was going to be a challenge because they have never been exposed to this kind of environment. On their first term exam, their grades started dropping like a plane nosediving from the air. I realized how badly this was going to end up so I had no choice but to sign them up for extra tuitions. After a few months of studying until 8:30 p.m. everyday, their grades were saved especially their History and Geography subjects. From failing, those two subjects became 70+ percent. I have no idea how I can show my gratitude towards the teacher of the Learning Steps Academy so I will express them through words- To Teacher Michael, your constant aid for the academy my children with their English and their knowledge about the world are much obliged. To Teacher Grace, please accept my deepest gratitude for your teaching of Chinese, Mathematics, Science and even life! Lastly, To Cikgu Ain, it has been such a blessing for your charming ability to teach the school Malay, no one could do it better. I will give my continuous support towards the Taska and Academy.

I enrolled my son into Taska Damasara Utama when he was only three. Just a few days of going there, my son will always come home with a beam of happiness on his face. In a small period of time, his bad habits were gone and he became a diligent young man. The staff and teachers there are also very kind, I could feel the love and attention they give for each and every child there in the centre. Now that he is in primary, he has been acing also one of the top student in his class. Even during the pandemic period, he didn’t do as poorly as I thought, but he still maintained his talents thank to their excellent planning for online class. Although he had some lost knowledge, the teachers there managed to teach my son what he had forgotten over the years. As a parent, we want our children to be a little genius and happy at the same time. That’s why I put my son into the centre. I never knew a daycare centre could made my son from an uneducated little boy into a smart young man. Now that he’s twelve, he is still having a good life with his friends while studying. I don’t see myself and my wife pulling him out anytime. An amazing centre like this deserved to have an easy 5 stars in every way.
