      • My baby girl is so fortunate to be able to join the playgroup with Krecious House!  The Principal and the teachers are so well trained and enthusiastic with early childhood education. They have very impressive facilities (especially the soft playground with big slide and a proper gym area) and cleanliness is always at high standard. My child is so safe and has been growing up so well at this preschool! They are definitely worth more than just 5-stars Review! [Leong Yi San]
      • By far one of the best daycare in the Bukit Jalil area. I am extremely fussy when it comes to my child's education. My child tried 3 daycare centres in this area. I personally visited 11 daycare centres for quality assessment. I started with big names but none of them are as good as K'recious House. For K'recious House, quality of education and cleanliness are their highest priority. All teachers are well trained.  Parents are given many pictures and videos of their daily activities through the app. Teachers will update you daily on your child's progress and many more competive advantages. It's not easy to get in as they have a long waiting list of parents wanting their child to join K'recious House; but it worth the long wait (could be 6 months or more) in order for your child to enjoy the best possible quality education at his or her age. [Mohammad Falahat]
