Hong Kong’s latest kindergarten profile covers about 930 schools, down from about 970 in the previous edition, according to Education Bureau announcements.
The comparison suggests roughly 40 fewer schools, a decline of around 4 per cent. Both figures are rounded, however, and the announcements do not establish how many individual schools closed or explain the reasons for the change.
Released on 15 October, the bilingual profile for the 2026/27 school year includes kindergartens and kindergarten-cum-child care centres.
For parents comparing schools, it brings together approved fees, enrolment, staffing qualifications, teacher-to-pupil ratios, curriculum information and admission arrangements. It also outlines support for non-Chinese-speaking children and pupils with special needs.
For schools participating in the Kindergarten Education Scheme, listed tuition fees reflect the deduction of government subsidies. Parents can also check available quality review results and reports.
Schools can update their entries, so families should revisit the online information and confirm admission arrangements directly with their shortlisted kindergartens.
