    The term ‘kindergarten’ dates back to 19th century Germany, meaning a ‘Garden of Children’. How delightful is that image? In Hong Kong, children attend kindergarten starting from anywhere between 2 years and 8 months to 3 years. There are three years of kindergarten education, also called preschool: K1, K2, and K3. Whether you’re new to Hong Kong, a new parent, or both, we want to help you choose the best kindergarten in Hong Kong to let your child thrive.
