Mulberry House integrates Social and Emotional Learning through the EYFS Personal, Social and Emotional Development area, which emphasises building relationships, self-awareness, and managing feelings. The school also highlights six core values—Love, Kindness, Respect, Harmony, Trust and Wisdom—which guide classroom interactions and community expectations. The learning environment is designed following the Reggio Emilia concept of the environment as the “third teacher”, using natural materials and calm spaces to support independence and cooperation. The Tai Po campus includes daily outdoor play and a Forest School programme, both of which encourage confidence and resilience. The school also offers transition sessions at the start of the year, allowing parents and children to gradually adjust to new routines. No additional SEL-specific programmes or specialist SEL staff are publicly described.
The school does not publish a formal SEN policy or specify the types of Special Educational Needs it can support. Some Tai Po staff members list relevant training, such as the Head of School’s qualifications in youth counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and a Level 3 certificate in managing and understanding dyslexia, but these are presented as individual credentials rather than a structured SEN provision. There is no reference to individual education plans, specialist therapists, or tailored SEN programmes. The school does not describe itself as a specialist SEN institution. Based on publicly available information, the school does not publicly disclose how it supports SEN students beyond general classroom practice.
Mulberry House operates as a bilingual immersion kindergarten offering dual-language, pure English, and pure Mandarin streams. Classroom teaching includes a strong emphasis on communication, English literacy (Letters and Sounds, Get Reading Right), and Mandarin literacy (Greenfield Chinese curriculum). However, the school does not describe any dedicated EAL programme, specialist EAL staff, or targeted support for children who are new to the English language. There is no mention of pull-out support or differentiated EAL pathways. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL-specific provision.
The kindergarten website does not provide a formal mental wellbeing policy or list dedicated mental health services. Some staff at the Tai Po campus list training relevant to emotional support, including qualifications in youth counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and the Thrive Approach, which may inform their practice. Elements of mental well-being are embedded indirectly through the EYFS framework and the school’s emphasis on outdoor learning and calm, nature-based classroom environments. Transition arrangements, where children and parents gradually adapt to the start of school, also support emotional adjustment. Beyond these general practices, the school does not publicly disclose additional mental health programmes or specialist services.
The Mulberry House International Kindergarten website does not publish a safeguarding or child protection policy. It does not identify a designated safeguarding lead or outline staff training in safeguarding. The site also does not describe reporting procedures, supervision policies, or links with external agencies. General information focuses on curriculum, admissions, and campus environment rather than statutory safeguarding frameworks. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding procedures.
Mulberry House International Kindergarten’s Tai Po Campus is a 20,000 sq ft bilingual pre-school and kindergarten located at Mayfair By The Sea in Pak Shek Kok, close to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Science Park. Children aged 6 months to 6 years follow an inquiry-based curriculum guided by the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with a strong focus on English and Mandarin bilingualism. The campus offers bright classrooms opening onto an indoor playground, a music room, a sensory area, a sports field, an outdoor garden and a bilingual library. Mulberry House Families can choose dual-language, pure English or pure Mandarin streams, supported by native-speaking early years educators. A distinctive feature of the campus is its Forest School and daily outdoor play, which are built into the regular timetable and complemented by enrichment options such as Language Arts, S.T.E.A.M., Musical Theatre, arts and sports activities.
