MapleBear Canadian School

Bilingual education demand is surging and MapleBear is tapping into Malaysia’s multicultural market with its globally respected Canadian curriculum.

With Malaysia’s growing parental focus on cognitive development and future employability, and government plans for a bilingual preschool curriculum by 2026, MapleBear’s entry is perfectly timed. This episode with Rafael Mangini, Marketing Director of MapleBear Canadian School, explores their global approach to early childhood education, how it nurtures holistic, future-ready learners, and what their expansion means for Malaysia’s education landscape.
