Early Childhood Education

Overview

At the various stages of our life, especially in the formative years, teachers are people who, with their training and goodwill, are instrumental in helping us acquire skills, knowledge and good habits which may have lasting impacts throughout our life. Although they may not be put on as high a pedestal as masters or mentors in our more mature years are, teachers we met in nursery and kindergarten are owed a debt no less tremendous, for it is they who first inducted us into a world beyond family, where we first tasted the joy, fun and satisfaction of exploring this world and working with others. Early Childhood Education is offered at The Chinese University of Hong Kong .
