Small World Christian Kindergarten

Welcome to Small World Christian Kindergarten! It is our pleasure to introduce you to our school that is now celebrating 30 years of operation!

Small World is dedicated to providing Hong Kong children and families with Christian kindergarten education focusing on whole-child learning. We adhere to the belief that each child entrusted to us has been created with unique and special gifts and talents. Our kindergarten is committed to helping each child begin their journey of learning with a firm foundation, built upon faith in God, themselves and respect of others. We offer a curriculum that builds a child’s confidence – igniting their desire to learn! Over 30 years we have seen the success of our model proven over and over again.

Our school community also supports our ethos from parents and staff to alumni! We have been privileged to hear beautiful stories and testimonies of former students who have become leaders in their respective fields, while bearing witness to lesson learned at our kindergarten which formed a basis for their self-esteem and confidence.

These stories are a key indicator that God is blessing our efforts for your children. That as we strive to continue to provide sound foundation lessons focusing on intellectual, physical, social-emotional and spiritual aspects of each child, we gain future life-long learners who strive to do their best in all areas.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our website and learn more about the wonderful learning taking place. We look forward with joy and enthusiasm as your children blossom under our care.

Join us as we celebrate our 30th anniversary with great joy and gratitude!

Small World Christian Kindergarten was established in Hong Kong in 1986. Gail Maidment, the Executive Director of Generations Christian Education, was given a vision for the education of young children during her training with Youth with a Mission (YWAM), an interdenominational Christian mission organization. Since 1986, the school has grown from one class of 8 children in the morning, to over 250 students across our half-day classes held during the morning and afternoons. Through our curriculum, students who do not come from Christian backgrounds or families are learning to trust God with their lives and the lives of their families. We have enrolled students who have individual learning needs and launched a model special needs classroom integration program for kindergartens. We offer parent support and classes through our extra-curricular parenting and helpers courses, and continually reach out to community organizations, opening our doors to help them serve their particular constituents and beneficiaries.

In January 2011, the sponsoring body’s name was officially amended from Small World Christian Kindergarten to Generations Christian Education. This newly named sponsoring body encompasses the vision of the entire organization — to see generations of children in Hong Kong receive quality education based on sound biblical and moral foundations.

A small child needs to know that someone cares, that what he says and does is important. A child’s self-worth depends largely on the experience of love, and he learns to love others by being loved. Our Kindergarten shares the love of Jesus Christ with all the children who attend, and helps them know the meaning of the greatest love of all – God’s love.

Learning in Generations Christian Education schools is a rigorous, inquiry-based, continuous process where, in a supportive community, we use our God-given gifts to acquire and develop knowledge, skills, understanding and values. Our learning, through open minds and hearts, will help us seek the truth, better understand God, ourselves and our world so that we can be a global people of Christian faith, a people serving others, both now and in the future.
