The school was established in October 1984 under the name of ‘TWGHs Tai Po Nursery School’ to provide child care and educational services in the Tai Po District.

The school started to operate the Integrated Programme for Mildly Disabled Children, providing harmonization services to allow children to receive care and education in a natural environment.

The school offered Occasional Child Care Service, to help parents with temporary child care needs.

The school was renamed to ‘TWGHs Fong Lai Ming Nursery School’ in February 1994 in recognition of the donation made by Fong Shu Fook Tong Foundation.

The school participated in the ‘Psychological and Intellectual Development Plan for Young Children’, which was organised by TWGHs and sponsored by Quality Education Fund, to promote young children’s emotional education. The plan aimed to foster a healthy environment for young children’s emotional development, ensuring them to feel care and respect.

Recognising the importance of parent-school cooperation in promoting children’s emotional education, the school joined the ‘Grow Up with Respect and Confidence’ Parent Education Programme organized by TWGHs and sponsored by Quality Education Fund, to help parents build a healthy relationship with their children.

In 2009, the school introduced the ‘Leap’ Body Education Programme co-established by The Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation and the Cloud Gate Dance School in Taiwan. The school was one of the partnering schools of the programme. Through the integration of dance arts and life, the programme promoted all-rounded development and creativity of the children.

In December 2011, the Community Care Fund of the Government launched the assistance programme of the ‘Training Subsidy for Children who were on the Waiting List of the Subvented Pre-school Rehabilitation Services’. They also joined hands with the TWGHs ‘Early Support Plan’ to help children from low-income families in need of rehabilitation services to get training subsidy so that they can acquire self-financing services run by recongised service providers as soon as possible to facilitate their learning and development while waiting for subvented pre-school rehabilitation services.

Perceptual Motor Programme

Implemented the ‘Parent-Child Perceptual Motor Training Homework’, which was a systematic program covering various aspects of children’s development. Through little games played at home with their parents, children were able to gain enriching and interesting learning experience plus closer parent-child relationship. Children were able to sharpen their foundational sensory abilities, develop positive emotions, concentration, self-control and stable learning capabilities.

Funded by Quality Education Fund, the school launched the ‘Enhancing Children’s Emotional Social Skills through Story Teaching’ project in 2014. By reviewing and integrating the elements of emotional education in story teaching, the project enhanced the emotional adjustment and social communication abilities of the children under different learning scenarios.
