This topic introduces the Preschool Education issues from Malaysian’s perspectives. Two fundamental issues have been highlighted; new preschool teachers’ application of knowledge and skills and inclusive early childhood education for special needs children. Actions taken are discussed in the light of governments’ and non-government agencies. The policy for minimum qualification of a diploma for nursery and preschool teachers are driving the early childhood in the private sector to move forward. For the inclusivity of special needs children, the government has taken initiatives to provide accessibility and equity to these children. The implication highlight the need for keeping advocacy efforts intentional and focused by developing strong relationships with early childhood education leaders, partners in federal agencies and government.
