Rise and Shine, Yew Chung ECE

Yew Chung founded one of the first kindergartens in Hong Kong some 85 years ago, pioneering what were then the radical concepts of Early Childhood Education (ECE).

Today, true to its ECE roots and educator heart, YCEF is proud to introduce an ambitious, on-going project: The creation of Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE), a tertiary teacher training college in Hong Kong, upgraded from Yew Chung Community College, with a new campus slated to open in 2018!

Let's begin with YCCECE's visual identity:

❨❩ Latitude and longitude - a homage to master Tai-keung Kan's original logo design, we pared it down to the Earth's lines and celebrated them

❨❩ Tertiary Education - the beginning of complex, endless discovery of our positions in the world, of ourselves

❨❩ True East x West bespoke typeface - English is Yew Chung Display; Chinese is Yew Chung Ming 耀明體. English R has the Chinese-like stroke 捺; Chinese character 敎, in its ancient form, has the English-like X

❨❩ Early Childhood Educators - shapes of humans (人) cradling, guiding, supporting each other

YCYW Virtual Alumni Week 2021 RSVP

Riding on last year’s success, the Institutional Advancement Office brings back the annual alumni event as Yew Chung Yew Wah Virtual Alumni Week 2021 during 9–12 June! We have gathered some of our most professional and qualified alumni around the world to share with you their first-hand experience in university and career.

Former Students Share Real Life Stories for Teacher Insights

To highlight and promote good practices in teaching, Yew Chung and Yew Wah held an "E-Learning Professional Development Days" event on November 27-28, 2020. Apart from the university professors and education experts who spoke during the event, we also invited four alumni to share their views – Ms Kwan Ki Sze, YCIS Hong Kong Class of 2008, Mr Able Chang, YCIS Shanghai Puxi Class of 2009, Mr Liping Lin, YCIS Shanghai Pudong Class of 2012, and Ms Bethany Ru, YCIS Shanghai Puxi Class of 2018. Our alumni brought valuable former-student perceptions to help our educators better understand the core needs of a Yew Chung or Yew Wah student.
