Abstract
Malaysia is currently transforming its education system to achieve world-class status. High-quality preschool education improves children’s health and promotes their development and learning. Educators have a role in promoting the quality of early education and childcare by examining the issues and challenges involved. The performance of children includes four major factors which are based on the physical aspect, socio-emotional, spiritual, and intellectual of preschool children in their learning process. This paper presents a methodology to improve these four factors by analyzing the performance of individual students. This study focuses on 17 preschools in Johor which consist of five selected schools in the year 2015. For this purpose, the whole data from the four aspects are divided into various ranges. This is done by fuzzy logic system. It has been shown that the performance of the five selected schools is successful in their process of learning.
