Programme Highlights
A Merdeka Preschool Activity for Penampang, Lido and Kota Kinabalu Families
For families living around Penampang, Lido, Kota Kinabalu, Nosoob Penampang, Kampung Seronok and nearby Sabah communities, preschool activities are more than school events. They help children understand culture, practise expression and develop a sense of belonging.
Through Merdeka-themed activities, a family creative umbrella contest, performances, movement activities and potluck sharing, Tadika Matahari (Lido) & Taska Ria Penampang creates an engaging environment where children can experience the spirit of Malaysia’s Independence Month.
Why Preschool Family Activities Matter
For young children, Hari Kemerdekaan activities are not only about celebration. They are also opportunities to learn about the country, culture, teamwork, self-expression and community participation.
Through family craft projects, group activities, performances and potluck sharing, children can practise cooperation, patience, confidence, appreciation and social interaction in a real-life setting.
For parents, these moments become meaningful parts of a child’s early learning journey. Children often remember not only the activity itself, but also the presence, support and encouragement of their parents.
