School’s History & Accomplishments

Tivoli Kindergarten

Tivoli Anglo-Chinese Kindergarten was established by Carmen Ka-Mun Chan to provide preschool service to professional social strata, when Hong Kong's first sandwich class housing complex "Tivoli Gardens" was built in Tsing Yi. Former Governor Chris Patten and his wife, Lavendar Patten who visited us one month after opening, gave a very positive feedback.

Tivoli was established with the purpose of catering to local and international children and has an Anglo-Chinese as well as an International sections to provide a language-rich learning environment.

Tivoli Nursery

Due to the increasing demand for places, Tivoli Nursery was opened as a second branch in "Tsing Yi Gardens" to cater to children from two to three years old.

Tivoli Mutual Help Center

With the support of the Social Welfare Department (SWD), Tivoli Mutual Help Center was established within Cheung Hong Estate, Tsing Yi District. The Mutual Help Center was the first of its kind in Tsing Yi to provide occasional child care services primarily for children under six years of age. Its aim was to provide a community service for working parents or for unexpected situations with parent volunteers to avoid children being left unattended at home.
