Three Important Life Lessons that are Learned in Kindergarten



After enjoying every moment of the first few years alone with your little one, it is now time 
to send your child off to kindergarten. Every parent in Hong Kong wants the best education 
for their kid, yet most find the process of searching for information confusing, frustrating and 
stressful. That’s where TOP Schools comes in! Our independent admission experts have over 
70 years’ of Hong Kong-specific education experience combined, and always make our 
recommendations based on fact, not hearsay or personal opinion. Our services are entirely 
personalised and fully flexible to accommodate each and every client’s unique requirements. 
Why is kindergarten so important to your children’s education? Read on for three important 
life lessons that are learned in kindergarten:


Learning to share is a major accomplishment for your preschooler, but often a hard lesson to 
learn. In learning to share, your child needs to understand that others have needs and wants 
too, but most importantly, needs to see the benefits of sharing and begin to understand the 
importance of community and building relationships with others. Socialising with children 
their own age presents many learning opportunities. After all, the “job”  of your two and three 
year old is to play.

Building basic listening skills is really important for little ones to learn. It is through skilled 
listening that your child will be able to listen and understand classroom instructions and 
participate fully with their peers later in life. At preschool, children will learn to receive 
instructions from the teachers and practise maintaining attention - skills very much needed for 
primary school and beyond.

Kindergarten also helps with a life lesson that you’ll happily enjoy seeing carry over to home 
life: learning to clean up after themselves. Tidying, sorting and organising are very 
deliberately built into a preschool curriculum. By building a cleaning up routine into your 
child’s day from an early age, they are also learning to take responsibility.

Whether you’re registering early or late, TOP Schools can help you find the right school for 
your child. We prefer to meet you face to face, to learn about your preferences and knowledge 
of Hong Kong Schools. We’ll then help fill in any knowledge gaps and guide you through a 
questionnaire to understand family background, current schooling situation and expectations.
