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 active 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.
TLCP
was marketed by ILM Marketing in 2003 and 2004. The role to market
TLCP was shifted to Little Caliphs Enterprise in 2005.
As at
March 2010, there were 35 kindergartens authorized to use TLCP.

companies working hand-in-hand to establish solid products and
services in the pre-school education field: Little Caliphs
International Sdn Bhd (LCISB), Little Caliphs Enterprise (LCE), and
