The Harrow Hong Kong Children School Shenzhen Qianhai (HHKCS) Kindergarten Section envisions to be our children’s second home. A place where our children grow, as they discover their deeper self, make friends, and build their own community.
The Kindergarten section of Harrow Hong Kong Children School Shenzhen Qianhai (HHKCS) provides an exceptional learning experience for children aged 2 to 6 years of age. Research shows that this important stage of a child’s development needs high-quality provision to fully optimise the potential for learning and development. We ensure each child’s experience fosters and enables the necessary skills and attributes in preparation for a life of service, leadership, and responsibility, with a strong cultural identity and heritage.
At our Kindergarten section children will benefit from a personalized early years’ curriculum that incorporates the core Harrow values of courage, humility, fellowship, and honour. It draws strengths from the AISL Harrow Little Lions Curriculum (AHLLC), which is specifically designed for all AISL Harrow Schools and draws from the very best elements, examples, and experiences of international kindergarten curricula, including Hong Kong Kindergarten curriculum that aligns with the Hong Kong EDB relevant education regulations and guidelines.
