Daekyo announced on the 23rd that it has opened a directly managed center of ‘ToniToni,’ a leading domestic brand specializing in play and physical education for infants and toddlers, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


This ToniToni Malaysia center is the second overseas directly managed center following the one in Hong Kong opened last June. Daekyo selected Malaysia as the second overseas base for ToniToni, recognizing the high demand for early education and strong trust in the Korean education method in the Malaysian market.

Starting with Vietnam in 2022, ToniToni has been actively expanding overseas and plans to open an additional directly managed center in the United States next year. The local response to ToniToni overseas has also been positive. The Hong Kong center received great attention with over 300 customers visiting shortly after its opening. The ToniToni pilot program conducted earlier this year in the U.S. also attracted significant interest, with ongoing inquiries.


ToniToni is a play and physical education brand loved domestically for its unique program that simultaneously nurtures physical development, emotional growth, and intelligence. The ToniToni Malaysia center also focuses on encouraging children’s curiosity and boosting their confidence in physical activities through a curriculum that changes weekly.


Daekyo plans to spread Korean educational expertise overseas through ToniToni and enhance competitiveness in education markets worldwide. Detailed information about the ToniToni Malaysia center can be found on the ToniToni global website.


A Daekyo official stated, “Despite play and physical education for infants and toddlers being unfamiliar in Malaysia, more than 200 children have participated in trial classes, showing high interest in ToniToni. We will do our best to meet the expectations of local parents and provide a healthy and enjoyable play environment for children worldwide.”



Meanwhile, Daekyo currently operates Eye Level learning centers focused on math and English in 19 countries. It is expanding its presence in the global market by broadening the range of ages and subjects, including the ELIS international kindergarten in Vietnam.
