OUR MALAYSIA CENTRE
Named after Julia Gabriel’s parents’ home in England, Chiltern House strives to create the nurturing qualities of home – warmth, security and love, offering half-day, full-day and After School Care programmes within a comprehensive multilingual preschool curriculum.
Chiltern House Preschool is one of the three brands under Julia Gabriel Education, next to Julia Gabriel Centre which is an enrichment centre, and Chengzhu, a Mandarin enrichment centre.
We know how important it is for children to learn in a conducive environment, hence we take great care and pride to create favourable physical environments in each of our centres to encourage creativity and fun with the coming together of parents, mentors and students.
Our centre for Chiltern House Preschool in Malaysia is centrally located in a corner-lot bungalow along Jalan Bukit Pantai in Bangsar, an affluent residential district on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. Housed with Julia Gabriel Centre under one roof, the Bangsar centre offers a complete early childhood education journey for an infant to a preschooler. Selected Chengzhu Mandarin Centre programmes are currently offered under Chiltern House’s preschool programmes.
THE BOOKROOM
A pride and joy with children, teachers and adults alike is our BookRoom. The BookRoom came into being in 1993 from a desire to instil a love of literature into the hearts of our little ones. The BookRoom is named after poet Eleanor Farjeon’s special book, “The Little BookRoom”. There are over 10,000 lovingly handpicked story books by a team of coordinators whose dream is to make every visit to the BookRoom an imaginative and magical experience. We encourage our pre-schoolers to visit the BookRoom regularly to cultivate a positive reading habit and to indulge in the wide range of age-appropriate children books available.
OUR OVERSEAS CENTRES
Aside from our overseas centres in Singapore, all other centres – in Jakarta, and Shanghai – made the initial approach to Julia Gabriel because they wanted to replicate what Julia Gabriel does in their home cities. Julia Gabriel continues to work with overseas partners to maintain quality control through teacher-training, seconding of teachers from Singapore to start programmes in our overseas centres, staff training, overseeing curriculum material and supplying centres with BookRooms resources.
