Children form the future generation of adults and the way they are brought up determines how our society will become. The work related to the care, nurture and education of children is therefore very important. As the majority of parents nowadays are working couples, child care services are run by both the Government and non-government organizations (NGOs) to meet the needs of the society to foster and promote children’s physical, psychological, emotional, social and intellectual development.
In Hong Kong, child care services are delivered in the form of child care centres, residential care, child protective service, counselling and adoption services. While child protective and adoption services are solely operated by the Government, the other services are provided by both the Government and NGOs, and some child care centres are privately run.
