Evergreen Edupress PLT, the publishing arm of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., proudly showcased Malaysia’s educational innovation on the global stage at the Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) 2025. Held in conjunction with Malaysia’s prestigious role as the Country of Honour, this international spotlight provided the perfect platform for the global launch of Evergreen Edupress brand-new Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Series.
The participation was made possible through an exclusive invitation by the National Book Council of Malaysia (NBCM), in collaboration with Perbadanan Perpustakaan Awam Selangor (PPAS) and Perbadanan Kota Buku, a clear reflection of Malaysia’s growing prominence in the world of publishing and educational content.
Led by Director of Evergreen Edupress, Datin Dr. Hajah Sabariah Faridah Jamaluddin, she took centre stage with the debut of its new SEL Series, designed to revolutionize character education and emotional intelligence in young learners. Known for its progressive and values-driven approach to early childhood education, Evergreen Edupress once again affirmed its position as a thought leader in nurturing holistic, future-ready children.
Crafted by Nur Jannah Nur Iskandar, an esteemed early childhood education expert with over 15 years of experience, the new SEL Series is thoughtfully aligned with the upcoming Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan (KSPK) 2026. The series is packed with engaging stories and resources that help children build critical skills in emotional literacy, empathy, resilience, and positive character development and all are essential for their formative years.
The highlight of the launch was a live storytelling session by Nur Jannah herself, drawing in crowds with her heartfelt narration and charming delivery.

At Little Caliphs®, we believe that true education is not just about teaching how to read and write but it’s about nurturing the heart and soul.
One of the most heartwarming experiences for our children is the Little Hajj, a beautifully designed Hajj Simulation Program. In this meaningful journey, our little ones aged 6 done the ihram, follow the steps of the pilgrimage, and embrace the essence of the fifth pillar of Islam.
In the end, the values our children gain from this program are not left behind in the classroom but they are carried with them, long after they graduate from Little Caliphs®.
They leave not only with the ability to read, but with hearts that understand what it truly means to be a devoted servant of Allah SWT. Because at Little Caliphs®, we don’t just prepare them for school but we prepare them for life, guided by faith. InsyaAllah.

It was a joyful and meaningful Earth Day celebration for our Little Caliphs USJ15 kindergarten students as they spent the day outdoors at the USJ14 Community Garden, learning how to love and care for the planet.
The garden came alive with the sound of little footsteps and laughter as the children took part in nature walks, leaf printing, and even drumming using recycled items! These fun hands-on activities helped the children explore the beauty of nature while discovering simple ways to live sustainably.
According to kindergarten headmaster Amal Mohammed Nasser, this was the first time the children celebrated Earth Day in the garden, although they’ve visited before for science projects.
“Being in the garden helps them see the importance of keeping the Earth clean and healthy. It’s a learning experience that goes beyond the classroom,” said Amal.
The celebration also saw support from Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ), with councillor Ken Chia joining the event. MBSJ gave a short health and anti-dengue talk to the children and expressed interest in working with more kindergartens to promote eco-education and renewable energy in the future.
The event was hosted in collaboration with the Community Garden Association, which has been working closely with Little Caliphs since 2019. Garden secretary Muhamad Adam Abdullah shared that their garden is more than just a place to plant vegetables.
“We’ve created a rainwater harvesting system, composting area using dried leaves, and built bamboo structures. It’s a garden made for learning and community bonding — perfect for Earth Day,” he said.
We’re proud of our young learners and thankful to everyone who made this special day possible. Let’s continue to nurture a generation that loves, protects, and celebrates our beautiful Earth!
