These courses are designed for young children who are attending Kindergarten 1 or Kindergarten 2 in a Hong Kong kindergarten.

These courses follow the UK Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which provides holistic development opportunities. Our main focus is communication, language and literacy and our courses also develop physical skills, creative development, problem solving, reasoning and numeracy, knowledge and understanding of the world and personal, social and emotional development. The children are immersed in an exciting environment aimed to stimulate a love of English.

Demonstrating Progress

Working in Partnership

We understand that you want to be involved in and support your child’s learning. To this end we have created an outline of the roles and responsibilities of all those involved in the learning process.

We have various means of keeping in touch with the parents of our students to ensure you are well informed about the centre and your child’s progress in class, these include:

• parent events and informal chats
• one-to-one parent-teacher meetings
• class visits
• workshops
• report cards
• newsletters
• parent information sessions
• e-mail and telephone e.g. if your child misses a class
• our website and Facebook page.

SEN (Specific Educational Needs)

We are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment in which children are supported to achieve their potential in a spirit of inclusion and acceptance. We value the abilities and achievements of all our pupils and recognise that parents hold key information and knowledge of their child.

If your child has a specific educational (or medical) need, please share this knowledge before registration.
