CHAMPIONING CHILDREN’S INCLUSION WITH FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY
與家庭和社區一起倡導對兒童的社會包容
A 3 years long youth-led voluntary project that focused on children and youth’s education and arts in the ethnic minority community discovered alarming concerns for ethnic minority families of children with Special Education Needs (SEN): Rising number of SEN in the EM community, limited understanding and awareness on SEN, social stigma toward neurodiversity, and a lack of accessible resources in the public and private sector.
Taking a risk, the volunteers united to establish Kriti Children’s Centre For Learning and Development.
The word ‘Kriti’ was chosen for its etymological roots in both Latin and Sanskrit which denotes the creation of something out of nothing. In 2022, Kriti was officially recognised as a charity and has since served more than 250 Nepalese families in Hong Kong. The charity currently caters to 40 children aged one and above where about 30% have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having SEN, including a network of 100 families of children with SEN.
Approach
We value each unique child, and collaborative partnership with home.
We’re an inclusive learning space, Reggio-inspired, and guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Our programmes emphasise:
Children’s rights to an active role in their learning.
Multiple ways of expression and inquiry through play and art.
Mission
To serve ethnic minority children with Special Educational Needs by targeting early intervention through Early Childhood Development and Chinese Language Immersion.
Kriti Children’s Centre (KCC) 是一個以服務有特殊教育需要的少數族裔兒童為目標的融合教育中心，他們會透過學前發展課程及中文沉浸課程為兒童提供及早支援服務。
Vision
To create an inclusive learning environment for all children and empower families.
