Child Care Centre

The Centres offer a full-day kindergarten curriculum specifically designed for children aged 2 to 6 with severe to profound hearing loss, as well as those with moderate to severe special educational needs. Through diversified learning modes and activities, we empower children to master language and communication skills, fostering their balanced development. Supported by a favorable teacher-to-student ratio, we adopt the Total Communication approach to achieve holistic education and growth. To facilitate children's future integration into society, the Centres also provide a dedicated pre-Primary One counseling program for both students and parents to ensure a smooth transition to primary school life.
