Our story began when our very own founder Sofina Sani was working full time and she was having difficulties to find a decent childcare centre for her two infant boys. While working full time and like all parents do, she had to leave the children to be cared for at a childcare centre. Most of the time she ended up in despair as after too many trials, Sofina Sani still can’t seem to find a trusted and decent childcare according to her budget and criteria.
She then created a new path of journey by beginning a new life in Childhood Education by equipping herself with 12 years worth of Early Childhood education and experience. She started her journey by leaving her 9 to 5 desk job to realise the need to have the best childcare not only for her children, but for those who are in need as well.
In order for her to really understand how a great childcare should be, she first got in depth by working in a Chinese Kindergarten in Bandar Puteri Puchong, certifying herself in Kursus Asuhan Permata & Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) in Early Childhood. On top of that, Sofina also is an Executive Diploma in Early Childhood Education graduate with basic knowledge in Early Intervention for Special Kids & Crying Baby.
Sofina Sani has always been well known with her OCD. Hence, Munchkin was built based on these criteria:
Her most important principle is that the child should always be happy, healthy, clean and grow to become an ethical generation and always looking forward to go to school. At the same time, Sofina Sani is very particular with the mental health of Munchkin’s educators as it contributes the most important part of their daily working. We always embed and surround ourselves, our educators and our children with positive vibes. It helps in maintaining the peace and harmony of the school internally and externally.
