Promote Family School Community Collaboration

A spacious and well-equipped Parent Centre is set up within the ECLC to enhance partnerships between the ECLC, its parents and the community. It aims to promote the family-school-community collaboration culture beyond the ECLC to wider community.

Lay the Foundation for Lifelong Learning

Promote children’s interest in learning and balanced development in all domains as a solid foundation for lifelong learning. The ECLC allows effective articulations of early childhood with primary education.

Our Beliefs
