indica-tors were less about checklists andmore about daily behaviour.  \nPRESCHOOLS nationwideare preparing for a signif-icant shift in early child-hood education as the Ed-ucation Ministry's 2026 PreschoolCurriculum places “character ed-ucation\"at the forefront.  \n\"We observe how students inter-act with their peers,show empathyand take responsibility for their ac-tions.These behaviours reflect realcharacter growth,\"she added.  \nHowever,she said,Q-dees KotaKemuning entered the transitionfrom a position of strength.  \nUnder the 2026 Preschool Cur-riculum.values such as empathyresilience,responsibility and emo-tional regulation will be integrateddirectly into daily routines,groupactivities and play.  \n# CHARACTERSTARTSAT HOME\n\n\"Even before the shift,we havealready included character-build-ing in our curriculum.Thus,teach-ing materials and classroom setupsare already in place.  \nParents expressed strong sup-port for the curriculum's direction,though many stressed that schoolscannot shoulder the responsibilityalone.  \nThe curriculum marks a pivotaway from academic-driven expec-tations and towards nurturing con-fident,compassionate and emo-tionally intelligent children withinthe first sixyears of life.  \n\"We have a strong foundation,butwe will continue to upskill ourteachers to meet the latest require-ments.\"  \nWahidah

theiremotional and moral development.  \nShe said teachers at the centrewere trained to manage conflictsthrough calm conversations ratherthan punishments.  \nFor many preschools,this shiftrequires more than new modules-it calls for rethinking how teachersrespond to conflicts,guide be-haviour and assess growth beyondliteracy and numeracy.  \n\"Many parents today overlookthis due to time
