***************************************

     The Education Bureau (EDB) released today (October 16) the online version (in Chinese and English) of the Profile of Kindergartens and Kindergarten-cum-Child Care Centres 2025/26 School Year (www.chsc.hk/kindergarten) to provide basic information on all kindergartens and kindergarten-cum-child care centres (collectively referred to as kindergartens), enhancing the transparency of schools and helping parents make informed school choices for their children. Schools can update the online version of the Profile whenever necessary so that parents can obtain the most up-to-date school information. Mobile applications for iOS and Android versions of the Profile are also available for download.

     The Profile covers basic information on about 970 kindergartens in Hong Kong, including the list of kindergartens joining the Kindergarten Education Scheme in the 2025/26 school year, the approved school fees of all kindergartens, the numbers and overall professional qualifications of the principals and teaching staff, enrolment, teacher-to-pupil ratio, curriculum details, reference prices of major education items being sold, application fees, registration fees and information on application for admission. The Profile also includes columns on "Support to non-Chinese speaking students" and "Support to students with special needs" for parents' easy reference.

     For kindergartens joining the Scheme, the Profile will show their approved school fees after the deduction of government subsidies. Parents can also refer to the Fees Certificate of respective schools for details of the approved fees, including school fees and meal charges, if applicable. All kindergartens joining the Scheme are also required to disclose the allocation of expenditures across major spending areas in the Profile.

     All kindergartens joining the Scheme are required to undergo the Quality Review (QR) for quality assurance. For those kindergartens that have completed the QR process, information on whether they have met the prescribed standards is indicated in the Profile and the latest QR Report can be accessed through the link provided.
