Mrs. Chiu’s words:
Stepping into preschool will be one of the most memorable stages in the lives of both parents and children. As the founder of Parkview International Preschool – PIPS, Hong Kong Preschool and Nobel Preschool, I truly understand the importance of balancing quality education with an enjoyable learning environment that will empower our students in a unique way.
From my experience, everyone has their own capabilities and the role of a good educator is to stimulate every child in ways that lead them to discover their potential talents and passions. On top of that, a loving and caring environment will help fortify positive attitudes and confidence which are both crucial in the development stages of early childhood.
I feel positive that every child starting at Nobel Preschool will develop a curiosity for learning and discover their passion and interests in life, as well as develop characters of successful, confident and responsible young individuals. I sincerely look forward to seeing the graduates of Nobel Preschool become the future pillars and leaders of our society.
