Our children and education
-
A
child is a gift, an amanah and a trial to his parents, family
and society. Along with it comes a great responsibility – The
responsibility to nurture them towards becoming the best that
they could be, both in dunia and akhirat.
-
The best thing that that the parent and society could give to
our children is education – one that leads him to be a
significant contributor to his society, a righteous slave and
Khalifah of Allah, and an ummah of Nabi Muhammad (S.A.W).
-
Not only there is a gold mine in every child, but their early
years are instrumental in building their healthy self- esteem
and positive self-concept.
-
Sharing the responsibility to nurture them at their early years,
we are pleased to introduce The Little Caliphs Program for
Islamic-English-Creative pre-school education program.

Company Profile -
History & Background
Hajjah Sabariah Faridah’s interest in early childhood education
started when she was working as a volunteer teacher at an Islamic
English kindergarten in Ottawa while she was a Chemistry student at
Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. Since then, she has been
actived in helping entrepreneurs, associations, and communities to
open Islamic kindergartens in Malaysia.
With the Grace of
Allah, in January 2003, Hajjah Sabariah Faridah and her husband,
Haji Roslan Nordin finally founded their own kindergarten. The name
given to the new kindergarten was Little Caliphs Kindergarten, but
due to the naming rules of Ministry of Education, the name could not
be used. Instead, the kindergarten was named Tadika Rama Rama
Bistari.
Backed by her many
years of active training and consultancy on early childhood
education, the founders used the new kindergarten as a platform to
design, develop, and test a new pre-school program, namely The
Little Caliphs Program™.
Continuous research and
development, courses attended, hands-on involvements, feedback from
parents, students, and staff, visits to other kindergarten all over
the world, and most importantly, inspiration from Allah S.W.T. - all
of these have contributed to the development of TLCP.
In this husband and
wife synergy, Haji Roslan Nordin plays the role as business author
of TLCP while Hajjah Sabariah Faridah as the academic author.
The Little Caliphs
Program™ was originally marketed by ILM Marketing since 2003. To
mark the founders plan for marketing TLCP into international arena,
Little Caliphs International Sdn Bhd was incorporated on 6th of
January 2010.
