Parent Resources (by SCOLAR)

The Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR), through the Language Fund, has long supported measures that promote Chinese and English language development in kindergartens. SCOLAR has produced a series of parent education videos titled “Early Language Home Fun Station –FUNParent Video Series.” The aim is to share information on early Chinese and English language development, enhance parental understanding and participation, and equip families with knowledge and skills to raise healthy, happy, and well‑balanced children.
