Madam Malar has been in the teaching line for almost 18 years now. Her previous schools were Garden International School in Maluri where she taught for three years. She was also a teacher for 15 years in Sri Kuala Lumpur School, Subang Jaya. After years of experience in the teaching field, she eventually felt it was time for a change. That was when she made up her mind to channel all her efforts into starting her own kindergarten. For the love of children, she named her pre-school, Tadika Mickey.
