WOODLAND PRE-SCHOOLS

A FAMILY’S PERSPECTIV­E

The Leung family from Hong Kong have two children at Woodland, one in Pre-School (3 years 8 months), and one in Playgroup (1 year 6 months)

Enrolling both children at Woodland Happy Valley has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Woodland lets children learn at their own pace. My daughter has grown socially, emotionall­y and cognitivel­y; she loves her teachers, and wants to go to school every day. She is now confident, outgoing and very good at expressing her feelings, with an uncontroll­able desire to learn.

My one-year old son rarely went out in 2020 because of COVID-19. He was shy and anxious at his first playgroup at Woodland. After a few months, though, he became interactiv­e, helpful and caring, and was learning many new things.

The environmen­t of Woodland is loving, caring, safe, clean and nurturing, with each child made to feel special. Teachers strike an effective balance between fun and academic, teaching my children counting, numbers, shapes and English in a joyful way.

A NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL

Our campuses in Mid-Levels, Happy Valley, Kennedy Town, Pok Fu Lam, Repulse Bay Beachside, Repulse Bay Montessori and Sai Kung offer unique learning environmen­ts and a chance to join the amazing Woodland community. Our track record for internatio­nal primary school placement is second to none in Hong Kong.
