About Us
The Story of How It All Began…
After a journey of self-discovery, our founder, Hanky, realized how important it is for people to learn about the fundamental “beings” that would bring about joy and result in people’s life. He wished that he had learnt about this earlier.
Hence, he quit his then secured and lucrative job as a corporate trainer to start a business in training preschool children to nurture their self-esteem, build their confidence, focus, etc. He would go to various schools to run programmes for children. He garnered so much result and good reviews that parents and teachers alike started to ask him to set up his own company, which he eventually did after 8 years in the industry.
He found an investor who was aligned in his vision and had faith in what he did. He then convinced his first business partner who at that time had just left her job and was in search of a new passion. In the first year, there were only 3 coaches in the company. By the 2nd year, another 7 coaches joined and eventually became the shareholders of the company.
From the 3rd year onwards we continued to double our number of coaches. We included young, passionate, energetic and inspiring people from all walks of life who are aligned to our company’s vision and mission, as well as live and breathe our core values.

Why HANKidz
We pride ourselves for having a team of coach who are passionate, dynamic and loving, and who are committed to creating unforgettable learning moments for the children. Our coaches are well-trained in early childhood education, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Experiential Learning Methodology.
We also pride ourselves as the first-in-market that focus on developing children’s character and leadership potential, especially for children aged 5 – 12 years old. According to Dr Massey, 0 – 7 years old is the imprint period where children absorb everything around them like a sponge and accept as much of it as true. Hence, it’s crucial that we protect and set the right foundation for our child from the early age on.
Our programmes are carefully designed with well-researched technologies such as Neurolinguistic Programming, Experiential Learning Methodologies, Multiple Intelligence, Early Childhood Psychologies and more. They are also well experienced with many parents testifying to our effectiveness in creating lasting results for their children.
We work very closely with parents to deliver visible results and change. We empower parents by sharing and coaching parents how they can support their child at home. We also have periodical discussions and updates with parents to keep them up to date on their child’s progress.
Our Methodology
We use the following methodology / technology in designing & delivering our programmes:
Testimonials
- Graduate of Leader’s Path, Jan 2017
Dear all HANKCoaches, I'm so happy that I have achieved my goal this year as a soaring star in my school and won numerous national competitions. All of you especially coach Olly, KC, Hank, Loki have supported me all the way to engage and grow especially in times of challenges. HANKidz has trained and coached me to be a leader not only for myself, but equipped me with tools to face challenges and work effectively with people in my life. Thanks so much. I really learnt a lot from you all to make me visionary, determined and passionate towards what I do.
- Parent, Oct 2016
Well done to the organising committee together with all coaches for such an outstanding event - Kidzathon 2016 this morning at Desa Park City Sport Center.
- Father of Elise who Graduated from Mirador’s Guide & currently enrolled in Leader’s Path, Oct 2016
This is a place where both kids and parents learn to strive better. All the coaches are amazing in guiding the kids in their own way. It's not expensive if you sign up your children for the entire year rather than paying quarterly.
- Participant of Sri KL Music Camp, August 2016
This was my 4th leadership training camp of the year; however I do feel excited and looked forward for a truly different camp of all. I was very much inspired by the various games and activities in this camp. My favorite was the “Burung Hantu” game. I had to walk through a forest at night, blindfolded, and with a pair of unknown hands guiding us through the dark. I had to follow my instincts to finish the journey. I understand that in real life, there will always be helping hands guiding me through life’s journey too.
Another heartwarming event was the “Rainy Day Notes”. I received countless beautiful, encouraging and inspiring messages from the coaches and friends. The notes are like cardiac stimulant to me, they help me to regain my strength and spirit when I am down with sadness and disappointment.
The camp has altered my skills; such as patience, leadership, communication and team work. I've learnt so much in three days, my biggest achievement was being patience and tolerance as a group leader, and how I learnt it was through effective communication and positive relationship with my group members to achieve the same goal. Other fun experiences include going all out (100%), and winning comes after having fun.
The coaches who organized this event are truly passionate about children motivation and leadership, and are caring and inspiring. Having to see the coaches and my friends’ faces light up is not something I will forget soon. I would like to thank Coach Ellie, Coach Xue Yi, Coach Jason and Coach Wilson for a wonderful and memorable camp.

- Principal of Johan Preschool
HANKidz Zoom training is useful for organizing online lessons. A needed session especially now during MCO as teachers are in need of time and ease to use practical steps. Their experience in working with children complements the session, a bonus for participants. Thanks!
- Parents
We have sent our daughter to Hankidz since she was 7 years old. She was the only child in our family therefore being self centered and everyone has to listen to her. But after gone thru classes at Hankidz, we found that she will put herself into other people's shoe instead of ME first. She also has started to manage her time well. We also seen her improvement and proactiveness in her studies. The coaches here were very caring and passionate towards their coaching too.
We have no regret to let our child to join Hankidz for the past few years. Thank you Hankidz!
