Building on the legacy of Yew Chung’s founder and my mother, Madam Tsang Chor Hang, and staying true to our pioneering spirit, we now hope to democratise quality early childhood education. We strive to position YCCECE not only as a centre of excellence in nurturing passionate, innovative ECE professionals and advocates, but also as a specialist College that fully embraces the expansive and interdisciplinary field of ECE – covering the full spectrum of children’s holistic development from birth to age 8, including health and nutrition, and meeting the diverse needs of families and communities. We aspire to advance the field in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the Asia-Pacific region, creating a virtuous cycle of human and societal development, thereby changing the world for a better future.

Established by the non-profit Yew Chung Education Foundation with its long history in pioneering ECE in Hong Kong, the College is governed and led by prominent community leaders and scholars, including world-renowned ECE experts. It is currently home to around 400 students from diverse socio-economic, linguistic, and ethnic backgrounds, and a truly international faculty. The students – majority on scholarships and bursaries – present a wonderful mix of nationalities from Hong Kong and other Asia-Pacific region.

Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, The Jockey Club Spark & Spot Project, spanning 46 months from 2024 to 2027, is organised by Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE).  

Themed around 'Enriching Education, Empowering Diversity'. The Project aims to equip local kindergartens and nursery schools to optimise inclusive teaching practices and embrace learner diversity through professional development, coaching and environment design enhancement. It builds a community of practice to foster early childhood educators' self-efficacy in creating inclusive learning environment to bring about a long-lasting learner-centric change in early childhood education.

The Project has the long-term objectives of transforming mindsets and deepening understanding of inclusive early childhood education—particularly with regard to children with special educational needs—fostering interest and motivation in teaching all learners, enhancing the implementation of inclusive practices across learning and environmental contexts, strengthening the capacity of educators and school leaders, and supporting the development of evidence-based approaches to inclusion.
