Have you started the school tour circuit in Hong Kong? If you are not sure where to start or what questions to ask, this checklist has you sorted! Basic guidelines and tips are useful when it comes to choosing a pre-school and ranking a kindergarten. Don’t just enroll your child solely on location.

5. How big is the play area?
6. How many children are in one class?
