Fulfilling every child’s potential since 1978

Since 1978, Woodland PreSchools have prepared over 60,000 children for successful primary school education by giving them the best start on their developmental journey. Their track record for International Primary School placement is second to none in Hong Kong. Each of their seven campuses in MidLevels, Happy Valley, Kennedy Town, Pokfulam, Repulse Bay Beachside, Repulse Bay Montessori (The Arcade) and Sai Kung (Marina Cove) offers a unique learning environment and a chance to join the amazing Woodland community.
Woodland offers classes for children from 6 months to 6 years, following the English Early Years Foundation Stage with English, Mandarin and Bilingual language options. 2 of their 7 campuses are also Montessori accredited - including the Midlevels campus.
Best-in-class facilities at Mid-Levels
7 Woodland campuses, and it has got to be in the running for the most impressive Early Years campus in Hong Kong. Straddling both sides of Caine Road, the school is something of a Mid-levels landmark. The campus was purpose-built to nurture children’s sense of wonder through providing an environment that enhances social, emotional, language and physical development. The campus includes a football pitch, a basketball court, waterpark, climbing wall, sensory dark room and various play areas, such as the Construction site and Woodland Town, for children to explore. They also have a

dedicated baby zone which allows little ones to explore safely in a customised setting as they discover their senses and learn about the world around them.
New Mandarin Programme
For the new academic year, Woodland will emphasise language development. This is a key element to futureproof children so that they become active global citizens. Woodland’s new Mandarin Programme has Mandarin learning goals for each step of the Woodland journey, from exploring different sounds, understanding strokes, recognising characters and using simple phrases to developing social interaction by expressing themselves. The Woodland Mandarin programme is taught using a play-based inquiry method as its educators believe that only through authentic experiences and the process of exploring a language will children learn the language for life. Learning from memorisation does not last and Woodland’s goal is for children graduating from their Prep for Primary programme to be confident and competent speakers of both English and Mandarin.
Bespoke Woodland Journey
The Woodland Journey is a pathway to success for children from 6 months to 6 years old. It carefully builds upon earlier stages, to support the child’s natural dispositions and curiosities. Following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum, children will be ready to continue their primary education anywhere in Hong Kong or around the world.
As Woodland believes that all children are competent learners, they believe that children with different abilities can flourish in the same classroom. Children are not assessed on their ability to complete an assignment or task; differentiation is based on each child’s learning needs and what their next learning goals are. Through small group sessions, their experienced teachers will adapt an activity to suit different learning needs and assist every child to reach the next step.
A love of learning cannot be taught, but by respecting the image of the child, Woodland Pre-Schools inspire and foster a lifelong love of learning in their children. sg
