The Little Hajj Malaysia 2024 – Putrajaya event was held with great enthusiasm and participation, marking a memorable day on 26th June 2024 at Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad KLIA. Running from 8am to 2pm, the event brought together a large number of young participants in an educational and spiritually enriching experience.
The event was inaugurated by the esteemed Datuk Haji Roslan bin Nordin, Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., who graciously officiated the program. The program also had the honor of hosting Datin Dr. Hajjah Sabariah Faridah binti Haji Jamaluddin, Chief Academic Officer (CAO) of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., whose presence added further significance to the occasion.
A remarkable 2,478 enthusiastic 6-year-old students, accompanied by 295 dedicated Mutawwif from 74 Little Caliphs® kindergartens participated in this immersive event. The children, dressed in traditional white garments (Ihram Cloth), engaged in a simulated pilgrimage experience, marching around a model of the Holy Kaaba. This activity was meticulously designed to capture the essence of Hajj, providing the young participants a hands-on and engaging way to learn about the fifth pillar of Islam.
Reflecting the educational philosophy of Little Caliphs®, the event utilized the Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology. This dynamic, experiential approach allowed the children to actively participate in and experience the various rituals of Hajj, including Ihram, Wuquf, Tawaf, Sa’i, and Tahallul. Through this immersive method, the children gained a profound and comprehensive understanding of the Hajj pilgrimage, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future.
“Little Caliphs® employs a variety of educational approaches, and our Little Hajj program exemplifies this through the Project Based Learning method. By actively participating, children experience the learning process first-hand, engaging their senses in a deeply meaningful way. This approach not only enhances their understanding but also ensures that the knowledge is retained and cherished, InshaAllah,” stated by Datuk Haji Roslan bin Nordin.
“In addition to Little Hajj, Little Caliphs® integrates the Project Based Learning approach into other dynamic programs such as Little Caliphs® Scientist, Little Caliphs® Builder, and events like Market Day. These programs, held across all Little Caliphs® kindergartens in Malaysia, provide our children with diverse and enriching learning experiences,” added by Datin Dr. Hajjah Sabariah Faridah binti Haji Jamaluddin.
The success of Little Hajj Malaysia 2024 highlights the effectiveness of experiential learning in imparting essential religious knowledge and values. It was a day filled with joy, learning, and spiritual growth, leaving a lasting impact on all participants.

Bhd., and Encik Ahmad bin Jamaludin, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd.
We were delighted to see 3,796 enthusiastic 6-year-old students from 113 Little Caliphs® kindergartens participated in this immersive experience. Dressed in the traditional white garments (Ihram Cloth), the children marched around a model of the Holy Kaaba, simulating the true essence of Hajj.

“Adam… janganlah buat adik!!!” jerit mama… kuatnya jeritan mama sehingga ke dapur boleh dengar! “Adam… jangan suka jelir lidah kat adik…. Adam, janganlah rebut mainan tu… Adam, kenapa mama cakap sekali tak nak dengar????”
Ini adalah skrip yang sering kita lontarkan apabila kita hendak memarahi anak-anak. Penatnya hati dan dah berbuih mulut menasihati anak-anak ini tapi Subhanallah nakalnya boleh membuat kita migraine!
Dulu saya teringat selain dari suara, rotan juga adalah cara untuk mendisiplinkan anak-anak. Saya tidak mengatakan tidak boleh terus menggunakan rotan kerana Rasulullah SAW pun memberi saranan kepada kita agar menggantung rotan di dalam rumah, hanya kita berdoa janganlah kita harus menggunakan rotan sebagai metod dalam mendidik anak-anak kecil kita. Alhamdulillah, sekarang ramai ibu bapa yang mencuba untuk mendisiplinkan anak-anak mereka dengan cara yang lebih baik agar anak-anak tidak lebih nakal ataupun memberontak. Anak-anak kebiasaannya akan sentiasa meniru tingkah laku ibu bapa mereka. Jadi, dikhuatiri jika kita menggunakan fizikal untuk mendisiplinkan anak-anak , kelak nanti anak-anak akan meniru perilaku kita dan akan menjadi lebih agresif..
Jadi, apakah altrenatif selain dari fizikal untuk mendidik anak-anak kita? Di sini saya akan berkongsi beberapa tips alternatif dalam menegur anak-anak agar dapat menjadi panduan untuk para ibu bapa pembaca budiman.
Kadangkala anak-anak menjadi nakal kerana mereka memerlukan perhatian. Ibu bapa sering memberikan perhatian dengan cara teguran jika mereka membuat salah. Mari kita tukar minda dan teknik kita. Wajar untuk kita memberi mereka perhatian sekiranya mereka membuat perkara yang kita suka. “Wah… mama sukalah Adam menulis di buku, Adam rajinlah!” Berilah ganjaran yang positif seperti kata-kata motivasi yang positif, senyuman, pelukan dan ciuman jika mereka membuat perkara yang baik. Insyaa Allah jika kita istiqamah mencari dan memberi pujian semasa mereka membuat sesuatu yang baik, anak-anak akan faham dan membuat perkara yang ibu bapa mereka suka.
Jika anak kita menumpahkan susu, tiada gunanya jika kita menjerit dan memukul anak-anak. Ini disebabkan mereka takkan faham perkara yang mereka lakukan adalah salah. Oleh yang demikian, tindakan yang harus kita ambil adalah dengan menerangkan apa yang harus dilakukan. “Adam…. okay tak pe… ambil kain dan lap tumpahan tu.” Dan jika mereka tidak mahu lakukannya, lakukan bersama-sama. “Adam… kemas balik mainan tu ke dalam kotak selepas bermain ya”. Lakukan dan didik mereka dengan sabar dan tunjuk ajar agar mereka faham erti tanggungjawab atas aktiviti atau perilaku yang mereka lakukan.
Anak-anak akan sentiasa melihat apa yang kita buat. Ibu bapa adalah guru pertama mereka. Jangan membuat perkara yang melanggar syariat Islam atau perkara yang boleh membuat mereka merasa bingung. Tunjuklah contoh akhlaq yang baik pada anak-anak agar mereka boleh contohi setiap perbuatan baik kita dan akan membesar menjadi insan yang cemerlang suatu hari nanti.
Apabila kita menegur anak, pastikan kita hanya menegur perilaku mereka yang tidak kita sukai hanya pada waktu itu. Jauhi dari mengungkit perkara yang lama. Tukar skrip cara kita menegur. “Adam… tengok TV lama sangat tak bagus, jom ikut mama… tolong mama buat kuih di dapur.” Janganlah kita menegur begini “Adam… nak jadi budak malas ya? Asyik tengok TV aje… tutup TV tu!” Dan kadangkalanya kita akan mengungkit keperibadian adik beradik yang lain. “Adam ni asyik tengok TV macam along… nanti tak pandai belajar!” Jauhi skrip sebegini. Ini akan menjadikan anak-anak kurang hormat kepada ahli keluarganya yang lain.
Dalam mendidik anak-anak, kurangkan perkataan jangan atau tidak! Adakan peraturan di rumah. Dan peraturan ini harus dibincang bersama dengan suami, isteri atau nenek serta atuk anak-anak tersebut. Hal ini penting kerana anak-anak akan menjadi keliru sekiranya perbuatan yang mereka lakukan itu salah di mata ibu mereka namun tidak pada mata ayah mereka. Oleh itu, kita harus menyediakan peraturan yang dipersetujui sama dan peraturan itu tidak boleh banyak pada satu-satu masa, kerana kognitif anak-anak belum boleh menerima lebih daripada 5 peraturan pada satu tahap tumbesaran mereka. Sebagai contoh, kita mengajak anak membasuh pinggan bersama-sama dan jika dia membasuh pinggan sendiri, terus dimarahi! Hal ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku. Seharusnya kita menerangkan pada anak-anak, “Jika seronok basuh pinggan ni, lain kali kita basuh sama-sama, jangan basuh sendiri sebab nanti adik tak tahu macam mana nak basuh pinggan dengan baik.” Jika selalu sangat menggunakan perkataan ‘jangan’ atau ‘tidak’, ini boleh menjejaskan jati diri anak-anak kita dan dia akan membesar sebagai seorang insan yang takut untuk mencuba.
Selalunya apa yang anak-anak kita lakukan tidaklah begitu kritikal, maka relakskan standard kita, lagipun mereka masih kanak-kanak. Mereka perlu banyak mencuba untuk merangsang minda mereka. Mereka harus berani melakukan perkara yang susah bagi merangsang perkembangan sosio-emosi mereka. Mereka harus berlari, memanjat dan melompat untuk merangsang perkembangan jasmani mereka. Apa yang harus kita lakukan ialah memantau aktiviti anak-anak. Jika ianya akan mendatangkan mudharat, maka ketika itu kita perlu menegur tetapi dengan cara yang baik dan berikan kefahaman buat mereka tentang kenapa perilaku tersebut tidak boleh dibuat. Berbincang dengan baik kerana anak-anak kita sebenarnya boleh faham bahasa kita yang mudah apabila kita berbincang dengan mereka.
Kita pun seharusnya janganlah tension sangat, lakukanlah terapi untuk menenangkan minda dan jiwa kita dengan selawat, istighfar dan mendengar ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran agar ketenangan ini dapat membuahkan kebijaksanaan dan hikmah dalam mendidik anak-anak.
Insyaa Allah saya harap dengan sedikit perkongsian yang saya berikan kali ini dapat membantu para ibu bapa kearah teknik keibubapaan yang boleh memanfaatkan tumbesaran anak-anak quratul ain, penyejuk mata kita agar anak-anak dapat membesar dengan jati diri yang cemerlang.
The first day of kindergarten can be both exciting and frightening for students, parents, and the teacher too. There are mixed emotions everywhere as this day marks a huge milestone in the child’s life. As teachers, we need to incorporate ideas to help ease first day jitters and start the school year off on the right track. Here are a few tips to help you plan for the first day of kindergarten.
When planning for the first day of kindergarten you will need to create name tags for students which include child’s full name and teacher’s name.
I suggest making a to-do list to keep track of everything such as the Must-Do List.
2. PLANNING FOR STUDENTS
According to Paula Denton, author of The First Six Weeks of School, the focus of the first weeks of school should be upon getting to know each other and the routines and layout of the school.
Check out some activities I use to incorporate this theory. Teachers may use various songs, chants, and games to help students begin the community building process on day one. We may begin incorporating activities that help students learn each other’s name. Check out What’s In a Name? For a list of nursery rhymes that you can use to help students learn the names of their classmates.
Students need to get acquainted with the routines of the school and classroom. Routines help give students a feeling of security. This may take weeks to establish, but once mastered, they will save both teachers and students time and energy for more important things.
In LC, we have book “Going to Little Caliphs” so teacher may use this book as a tool to share with the kids about kindergarten. In addition, teacher can make the first day of school a little less stressful with a few good back-to-school books. Many of these books consist of characters that are experiencing jitters that are similar to those of your little ones. These books help students to relate to other children’s experiences. Here are just some of my favorites :-
