Educational Services

Po Leung Kuk operates 24 kindergartens across Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories. All of these kindergartens have joined the "Kindergarten Education Scheme" of the Education Bureau (EDB), which provides high-quality early childhood education services for children aged 2 years and 8 months to 6 years. In an excellent learning environment, our kindergartens adopt diverse learning modes, including bilingual and trilingual education, music, physical education, arts, and technology, to stimulate children's interest in learning. We also tailor the programmes to the children's developmental needs and abilities, helping them construct knowledge and common skills joyfully. This approach fosters positive thinking and character strengths, leading to holistic development. Our kindergartens also provide support for non-Chinese speaking children and their parents, helping them integrate into school life. The professional team of Po Leung Kuk kindergartens has extensive teaching experience and great enthusiasm. They care deeply for the children and work closely with parents to create a rich and rewarding first three years of education for the children.
