AlphaCubbies integrates storage solutions with immersive learning experiences for early childhood education, particularly targeting special needs children. Initially, 40 parents of special needs children from an urban area in Shah Alam, Selangor, were selected, with 35 of them responding to a questionnaire designed to evaluate the effectiveness of AlphaCubbies' approach. By gathering insights directly from parents, the study aimed to understand the impact of edutainment activities on therapy and developmental improvements through the installation of AlphaCubbies. The data analysis included quantitative methods to ensure a comprehensive understanding of parents' perspectives on the use of edutainment in therapy sessions for special needs children in an urban context. Findings show that the majority of respondents agree that incorporating edutainment activities benefits special needs children by sparking interest, enhancing development, and promoting enjoyable learning experiences. This research benefits special needs children by enhancing their therapy experience and improving developmental outcomes. It also supports parents, therapists, and policymakers by providing insights for more effective and engaging therapeutic practices.
