Education
This episode is all about the littlest of students - preschoolers - that’s 3 to 5 year olds. This school phase is also referred to as Kindergarten or Early Years in Hong Kong. This episode explores what preschool looks like in Hong Kong and what parents should be looking for in a good preschool. To find out what makes a great preschool, we turned to Zoe Heggie, an experienced early childhood educator who has worked as a senior preschool teacher and administrator in The UK, Australia, Africa, The Philippines and of course here in Hong Kong. She’s currently the Vice Principal of primary at the Canadian International School of Hong Kong. Zoe's team has recently redesigned their early years' facilities, updating it with current research insights. It’s interesting to hear what is now considered best practice in preschools, you might be surprised!
