Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – In line with its mission to connect preschool education with real-world experiences, Yelaoshr Creative Preschool recently collaborated with Pu Jian Chinese Medicine Centre (Sri Petaling) to introduce young minds to the fascinating world of traditional Chinese medicine. This initiative is part of Yelaoshr’s EarlyWorks Experience, which aims to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning by taking children beyond the classroom into meaningful, real-world environments.
At Pu Jian Chinese Medicine Centre, the children were warmly welcomed and treated to an engaging and educational experience. The visit was designed to immerse them in the world of traditional medicine, from identifying and exploring different herbs to learning about basic healing techniques. These age-appropriate activities provided children with a glimpse into the centuries-old practice of Chinese medicine, fostering both understanding and respect for its cultural and health significance.
A Unique Learning Opportunity
Through this collaboration, the children transformed into “Junior Traditional Medicine Practitioners,” exploring concepts such as holistic health and natural remedies. The passionate team at Pu Jian guided the children with engaging explanations and hands-on activities, making complex concepts accessible to their young audience.
The activity aligned perfectly with child-centered pedagogy and the principles of Project-Based Learning (PBL), emphasizing experiential and interactive learning. Teachers prepared pre-visit lessons to introduce the basics of traditional medicine, while post-visit reflections allowed children to consolidate their learning. Parents, who were encouraged to participate, shared glowing feedback about the meaningful and impactful experience.
Transforming Education Through Real-World Experiences
Yelaoshr’s EarlyWorks Experience program seeks to address the limitations of traditional classroom settings by connecting education to real-world applications. Whether it’s learning about farming, baking, firefighting, or traditional medicine, the program is designed to broaden horizons, inspire aspirations, and equip children with the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
This visit to Pu Jian Chinese Medicine Centre highlights the program’s core philosophy: learning should be practical, engaging, and deeply rooted in authentic experiences. By exposing children to diverse professions, EarlyWorks fosters curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a love for learning, creating a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Positive Impact on Students and the Community
The children’s feedback from the activity was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their excitement and newfound interest in traditional medicine. Parents appreciated the opportunity to witness their children’s active engagement and curiosity. Teachers observed that the hands-on learning approach helped children connect abstract concepts to real-world applications.
The collaboration with Pu Jian Chinese Medicine Centre also underscored the importance of community partnerships in education. By generously opening their doors to the children, the Pu Jian team not only educated the students but also demonstrated the value of sharing knowledge and expertise for the betterment of society.
Looking Ahead
As Yelaoshr continues to innovate through its EarlyWorks Experience, partnerships like this one with Pu Jian Chinese Medicine Centre serve as shining examples of how real-world learning can transform education. This approach not only empowers students with knowledge and skills but also fosters a deep appreciation for their community and its cultural heritage.
The success of this initiative reaffirms Yelaoshr’s commitment to making education practical, interactive, and connected to life beyond the classroom. With plans to expand the program to include more professions and environments, Yelaoshr is paving the way for a new generation of curious, confident, and capable learners.
