It is a registered charity, governed by an Executive Committee, partially subvented by the government and supported by a Fund Raising Committee which raises fund for non-subvented services and initiatives.

Introduction

Since 1926, HKSPC has worked to promote early childhood wellbeing. We believe that all of society benefits when children experience a happy childhood.

With a wide range of services, including childcare, pre-primary education, family service, social work, rehabilitation and parenting support, HKSPC has become a trusted resource for families. We are the advocate for early childhood wellbeing.

At the heart of HKSPC is a devoted team of professionals who are passionate about promoting the holistic wellbeing of children. Every day they serve over 3,000 children, providing them with love, care and support.

HKSPC’s programmes and services focus on promoting physical, emotional, cognitive and social development, and are designed to help children reach their full potential to thrive in future.

By investing in early childhood wellbeing today, HKSPC is helping to create a brighter world for us all tomorrow.
