What’s Included and What’s Extra at Tenby Setia Ecohill Early Years

Annual tuition at Tenby Setia Ecohill covers classroom teaching across the Setia Ecohill campus, age-appropriate Early Years classrooms, indoor and outdoor play areas, weekly swimming lessons, core learning resources, and access to the school’s library and ICT facilities. Families pay a one-time application fee of RM 2,000 and a registration fee of RM 3,000 at Nursery or Reception level. A refundable deposit of approximately RM 2,815 (half a term of fees) is collected on enrolment. International students attract an additional RM 2,000 processing fee. Recurring extras include a resource fee of RM 1,500 per year and books at RM 270. Uniforms, school transport, meals, external co-curricular activities, and exam entry fees in later years are charged separately. The 6 percent SST does not apply on tuition at these levels.

Curriculum and Daily Structure at the Tenby Setia Ecohill Early Years Centre

Tenby Setia Ecohill follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage framework, the same statutory standard used by British state and independent schools, across Nursery and Reception. The seven EYFS learning areas (communication and language, physical development, personal social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts) anchor the daily programme. Literacy uses Read Write Inc and Monster Phonics, two well-established UK phonics schemes, and numeracy follows White Rose Maths, a mastery-led primary sequence used across thousands of UK schools. Trilingual exposure to English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin is delivered via specialist language teachers rather than woven into general activities. The day runs from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm with drop-off from 7:30 am and extended care available until 6:00 pm. Class sizes are capped at 18 to give children consistent staff attention.

How Tenby Setia Ecohill Kindergarten Fees Compare to Other British Kindergartens in Selangor

Tenby Setia Ecohill at RM 16,893 sits at the affordable end of the British EYFS tier in Selangor. Eaton International School in Jade Hills Kajang is the closest direct geographic peer, with annual kindergarten fees in the RM 21,000 to RM 28,000 range for K1 to Reception. Sri KDU International School in Kota Damansara opens at around RM 15,000 to RM 30,000 for Early Years but draws from the western Klang Valley catchment rather than the south. Beaconhouse Sri Inai International in Setiawangsa Kuala Lumpur charges around RM 25,000 at Reception level. Tenby’s Setia Ecohill position is shaped by the south-Selangor catchment from Semenyih, Kajang, Bangi, and Beranang, where premium KL international schools require an hour-plus commute.

Registration and Admissions for Early Years at Tenby Setia Ecohill

Families submit an enquiry through the admissions office and arrange a campus tour. The school accepts applications on a rolling basis with intakes at the start of each of three terms. Required documents include the child’s birth certificate, immunisation records, recent school reports where applicable, and two passport-size photographs. A non-refundable application fee of RM 2,000 is payable at the time of application. Once a place is offered, the family pays a registration fee of RM 3,000 (Nursery or Reception) plus the refundable half-term deposit of about RM 2,815. International students pay an additional RM 2,000 processing fee. EAL support is available for non-native English speakers.

Is SST Charged on Tenby Setia Ecohill Kindergarten Fees?

No. Both Nursery and Reception at RM 16,893 per year sit well below the RM 60,000 SST threshold the Malaysian Government introduced in September 2025, so 6 percent Service Tax does not apply on tuition. Families do not need to budget for SST on the headline Early Years rate. The 6 percent tax may apply on certain ancillary services depending on how Tenby invoices them (international student processing, school catering, etc.), so families should confirm with the bursar at enrolment. The full ten-school comparison sits at the international kindergarten fees hub, with Tenby Setia Ecohill placed alongside its KL and Selangor peers.
