Benenden Kindergarten Guangzhou (BKG) offers a premium early years experience for children aged 2-6. Guided by complete education principles, our curriculum is built around a bilingual, inquiry-based Core Programme, enriched with Signature Programmes such as Language and Early Literacy, Maker-Centred Learning, and Arts, alongside Co-Curricular Activities including Physical Education, Music, Nature Exploration, and Community Service. Together, these programmes are designed to fully develop children’s curiosity, creativity, and future-ready skills.
BKG follows a full-day co-teaching model with Chinese and expatriate teachers. Through interdisciplinary thematic inquiry, dedicated language and early literacy sessions, and systematic phonics and leveled reading programmes, we create an immersive English environment while nurturing children’s Chinese language skills, fostering globally aware and culturally grounded learners.
Our faculty is selected through a rigorous international process, with an average teaching experience of 13 years. The Chinese to expatriate teacher ratio is 1:1.5, the teacher-to-student ratio is 1:6, and the adult-to-student ratio is 1:3. All expatriate teachers hold a master’s degree or higher, 75% have over 20 years of early childhood experience, and all Chinese lead teachers are fluent in English. Classes are supported by one Expatriate Lead Teacher, one Bilingual Lead Teacher, and one Bilingual Teaching Assistant, ensuring personalised attention and care for every child.
The kindergarten campus, designed collaboratively by Chinese and British designers, spans over 12,000 m², including 5,000 m² of indoor space and 7,000 m² of outdoor gardens and sports areas. Facilities include classrooms, sensory areas, Music and Movement room, Visual Arts, Dance and Drama studios, Makerspace, Food Lab, Swimming Pool, and Library. Outdoor areas feature a Sandpit, Water Play Zone, Sensory Trail, Mud Kitchen, Planting Garden, play structures, running track, sports fields, cycling area, and large-scale activity zones. Children explore freely in a safe, inspiring environment, developing cognitively, socially, physically, and creatively through play and discovery.
