Daily Schedule

(Monday to Friday)

Morning Session – 9AM-12PM
Afternoon Session – 1PM-4PM

Classes

Children are placed according to age in either Junior Kindergarten (K1) or Senior Kindergarten (K2). This allows each child to receive developmentally appropriate learning experiences that best support his or her growth.

Each class has two qualified Early Years classroom teachers at all times, with learning assistants offering additional support as needed.

School Bus
Service

Our school buses are operated by a private bus company, which runs multiple routes to cover a wide area of Hong Kong Island. The buses are fitted with seat belts, and bus mothers along with drivers take great care of children while on the road.

Our Campus

Historic Complex

Located in Mid-levels, Small World Christian Kindergarten is housed in a former British military hospital building. The Victorian brick complex has been renovated and adapted for school use. The building is surrounded by shady trees and our large outdoor playground space that the children use daily.

Outdoor Time

Unstructured outdoor play is part of our children’s daily lives. Small World children learn to seek out exercise, explore their creativity and appreciate the beauty of nature in our enclosed, leafy playground. The outdoors is also incorporated into teaching time: children learn about the growing cycle as they plant seeds and watch them sprout.

Playgroup

Small World (Generations) Playgroup

Small World (Generations) Playgroup provides a stimulating and nurturing environment where children aged 18-32 months begin a life-long journey of confidence, caring and motivation.

Our playgroup is conveniently located in Sai Ying Pun, with very close access to MTR, bus, and tram services.

Each session is led by our loving and nurturing facilitator, who leads the young children to grow cognitively, socio-emotionally, physically and spiritually through different activities purposefully selected for them.

Parents and caregivers can also share and learn from each other and our professional facilitator about development in the early years.

I believe children are motivated to learn when they are having fun and know that they are loved in a secure environment. I yearn to inspire the children to become respectful global citizens, showing empathy and care for others. I hope all the children that come to Small World will know that they are special and unique, loved by God, and created with a purpose.

Small World is not only a school, a place for fun learning, but it is also like my home. The teachers, parents and children have good relationships and share the same vision – loving for today. Not only is knowledge taught, but focus is also placed on the whole development of children. Small World is a warm and welcoming school where children feel safe and loved.

Small World laid a great foundation for our girls to value themselves and their education. Twenty-five years later we still have fun remembering the lessons we all learnt, and as parents we received great encouragement too.

Both our boys attended Small World because we believed that their curriculum was both spiritually and academically well balanced. Moreover their staff members embodied the kind of genuine love and care our children would need to transition from home to school in order to learn and thrive. We are forever grateful to the teachers and leadership of Small World!

Small World provided a warm, caring environment for my daughters and I am convinced it played a large role in helping them to develop into confident, kind young women. The school puts emphasis exactly where it should be at the pre-school age – on social skills. The girls loved it, and so did I.

My four sons are the second generation of children in my family to attend Small World Christian Kindergarten. We love the nurturing and holistic approach to early childhood education, warm and connected school community, inclusive and internationally diverse student body, and commitment to showing God’s love to children. Small World’s teachers, students, and families have been a great blessing to us and the city of Hong Kong.
