Our accompanied Rollers and Wrigglers classes are a wonderful way to engage with your child where their natural tendencies will be enhanced and their sense of discovery will be revealed in our exciting environment. Rollers are for infants from 6 to 12 months and Wrigglers are for little ones from 12 to 18 months with classes being 1 hour and 1.5 hours respectively, taught in English with a Mandarin Specialist, with the flexibility to join from 1 to 5 days per week.
Our 2 hour accompanied Playgroup classes are for children who are 18 to 24 months of age. Our environment is perfect for young inquisitive minds who are keen to explore new surroundings and make independent choices with their ever-increasing individuality. Taking advantage of a child’s rapid language development at this age, our classes are taught in English with a Mandarin Specialist. With flexible day options to suit your routine, you can choose from 5, 3 or 2 days per week.
Our Stepping Stones classes are for children from 24 to 36 months of age, offered as a 3-hour programme for 5 days a week, to enjoy their school life unaccompanied. With a mix of intentional teaching and purposeful play, the children will experience a programme encased around their physical, language and social-emotional development. Taught in English with the inclusion of Mandarin, they’ll love their play-based environment where they will understand the importance of learning, social relationships, rituals and routines.
Bilingual (Mandarin/English) Pre-School classes are for children from 2 years and 8 months and are offered in the morning. Children can also enjoy the added benefit of attending either our Mandarin or English afternoon classes, with a mixture of five mornings and some afternoons, or a flexible afternoon schedule only. The full day program is very popular for families with older Pre-School children, as they prepare for primary school. Our children learn through play from a mix of intentional teaching and child-initiated activities in a vibrant language rich environment, in the heart of Kennedy Town, just metres from the waterfront.
Woodland Kennedy Town is located on Davis Street. Parking spaces around Kennedy Town are especially difficult to find. Families are encouraged to arrive at school either by walking, public transportation or using our school bus service.
Our bus routes serve most areas of Hong Kong Island.

As an extension to our Pre-School morning classes, our clubs run for 60 to 90 minutes at 1pm. On a Tuesday and Wednesday we offer ‘Movement’ based classes, this term being Dance and Karate. Every day we also have a creative programme to choose from. We also offer more academic based classes at 3.30pm every day. These are a great opportunity for our older Preschoolers to practise core language and Maths skills in a fun environment.
