明雅國際幼兒學校

Mink International Pre-School is a private independent preschool in Tai Po, founded in 1986 and offering local and non-local curriculum pathways. The school provides an international English curriculum based on young children's developmental needs, with Putonghua and Cantonese lessons supporting bilingual English and Chinese learning. Its play-based curriculum is organised around themes that develop thinking, creativity and social-emotional skills. Teachers work with children through whole-group circle time, small-group learning and personalised learning, while science learning, talk partners and higher-order questioning encourage communication and thinking. Formative assessment uses portfolios containing observation records, checklists, photographic evidence and children's work. The school aims to develop children who love learning, think creatively and care for others.
