When it comes to instilling personal values and skills that will lead to later successes in life, a positive early childhood education cannot be underestimated, experts say.

During these formative years from zero to six years old is when rapid neurological development happens in children. As such, a holistic learning environment is proven to help young learners begin to develop a sense of self, learn to build authentic, trustworthy and respectful relationships, as well as discover the world around them.

For these reasons, Yew Chung International School (YCIS) places incredible value into making sure that they are helping children to build a solid foundation of values and skills that they can take with them throughout their lifelong learning and personal journeys.

With a rich history of almost 90 years providing quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Hong Kong, the school prides itself in two areas: being a forerunner of play-based learning in Hong Kong, as well as its dedication to uphold its “12 Values” through the Yew Chung Approach.
