CDNIS Early Years Centre is located at Shop Units G21-24, G/F, THE SOUTHSIDE, 11 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong. The campus is a short 2-minute walk from Wong Chuk Hang MTR and about a 12-minute walk from CDNIS' main Nam Long Shan Road campus. The centre offers a bilingual Nursery Programme for 2-year-olds and an Early Years 1 Programme for 3-year-olds on a dual-language platform. The programmes provide English and Chinese language exposure within an IB-informed framework and a developmentally appropriate, student-centred learning environment. CDNIS is an IB World School offering a continuum of programmes, including the Early Years bilingual option.
The Early Years Centre operates a bilingual Nursery Programme for 2-year-olds and an Early Years 1 Programme for 3-year-olds at THE SOUTHSIDE campus. The Nursery and Early Years 1 programmes provide a dual-language learning experience with English and Chinese exposure through CDNIS' dual language platform. The environment focuses on language fluency, social-emotional growth, and a love of learning, all delivered through IB inquiry-based learning. The Nursery Programme runs 3 hours per day, Monday to Friday, with morning classes 8:00–11:00 and afternoon classes 12:30–3:30. The nursery and EY1 programmes maintain a teacher-student ratio of about 1:10, with Educational Assistants in small group settings to support a 1:6 adult-to-student presence in practice.
The CDNIS Early Years Centre (EYC) serves children aged 2–3 in bilingual (English/Chinese) or international (English) tracks within the IB Primary Years Programme framework. Located at THE SOUTHSIDE in Wong Chuk Hang, the centre runs half-day Nursery (age 2) and EY1 (age 3) programmes. The bilingual model provides roughly equal exposure to English and Chinese, with dedicated teachers and a bilingual educational assistant in each class. Families will find clear operational details, including no bussing for EYC (bussing applies to the main campus only). Schoolwide, CDNIS offers a through-train IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP), with over 2,100 students. Distinctive programmes include strong technology integration (1:1 devices and coding/robotics beginning in lower grades) and community engagement through Local & Global Engagement initiatives. Fees for Nursery and EY1 are published annually; in 2025/26 Nursery Half-Day (Bilingual) is HK$138,600 and EY1 Half-Day (Bilingual) is HK$156,300.
