I met them at the Climate Change event @Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil last Sat (9 Aug, 2008). According to their brochure, Kampung Kasih, in SS2, Petaling Jaya is a pre-school that provides education through practical skills & life arts.

=> Nature exploration, creative play, natural & healthy vegetarian meals, snack preparation by children themselves, self-paced learning, simple natural toys, complete with their own organic vegetable garden!

=> Allowing the child the freedom to play, discover & develop naturally without stress or pressure.

Wah, wish I had this type of pre-school when i was young!! ha, ha...
