Pre Nursery Class (N Class)
We are a full-day kindergarten
We are one of the full-day kindergartens in Kowloon City, with six classrooms on campus. Each classroom can accommodate 20 children in the full-day programme and 30 in the half-day programme. In total, we can offer up to 120 full-day places or 60 half-day places at one time. Alternatively, we could accommodate up to 360 children in half-day programmes (180 in the morning and 180 in the afternoon).
Like many other full-day kindergartens in Kowloon City, we offer both full-day and morning sessions. This allows parents the flexibility to choose the most suitable schedule for their children, depending on their daily caregiving needs and time arrangements.
We do not offer an N class (for 2–3 year-olds)
“Do you offer an N class?” is one of the most frequently asked questions we receive, highlighting the level of interest among parents in Kowloon City for such provision. Why don’t we offer N classes in Kowloon City or To Kwa Wan?
Our sponsoring organisation, the Kowloon Minnan Church of the Chinese Christian Churches Union, did consider the need for N classes in Kowloon City—particularly in Ho Man Tin and To Kwa Wan—when planning to open this full-day kindergarten. We even submitted an application to the Education Bureau for running a 2–3 year-old nursery class. Unfortunately, due to a range of factors, the application was not approved. While we have a spacious campus, we are regretfully unable to offer N class places in Kowloon City, Ho Man Tin or To Kwa Wan. We hope parents will understand this limitation.
