The CDC is always filled with joy! ✨

On 18th December, we celebrated the festive season with our CDC children and parents in a lovely atmosphere. 🎄

The children had a lot of fun making handcrafts, playing games and laughing alongside our teachers and therapists! 🎨🎪😂 And of course, what would Christmas be without a visit from Santa? 🎅

A huge thank you to William E. Connor for their continued generous sponsorship of this memorable event, and for volunteering their time to spread happiness and cheer with our children! 🙏❤️

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year! 🎉🎊

CDC 任何時候都充滿歡樂氣氛！ ✨

12月18號，我哋同CDC嘅小朋友同家長一齊慶祝一個溫馨嘅聖誕節。 🎄

小朋友同老師同治療師一齊做小手作同玩遊戲，大家都好開心！ 🎨🎪😄 當然，點少得同聖誕老人見面呢！ 🎅

衷心感謝 William E. Connor 一直以來慷慨贊助呢個咁有意義嘅活動，仲抽時間同我哋嘅小朋友一齊慶祝，分享快樂同喜悅！ 🙏❤️

祝大家聖誕快樂，新一年健康快樂！ 🎉🎊

Thank you for having the CDC around! 🎉

Last week, Dr. Yvonne Becher was invited to RTHK Radio 3 – Brunch to share her advice on how to realign parents' priorities and focus over Christmas with their children: What do they really need during the holidays? ❄️

It is not about having more toys or perfect schedules, it is about the quality time and connection they build together. ❤️

Listen to her insightful sharing: https://www.rthk.hk/radio/radio3/programme/brunchwithnoreen/episode/1067275 🎙️✨

Let us make this Christmas about what truly matters most. 🎁👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

多謝邀請CDC！🎉

上星期，Dr. Yvonne Becher 獲邀到港台第三台「Radio 3 – Brunch」節目，同大家分享咗家長喺聖誕節同小朋友相處嘅心得同建議：放假期間，小朋友最需要嘅究竟係啲咩呢？❄️

唔係更加多玩具，亦都唔係完美嘅行程。要嘅只係爸爸媽媽用心嘅陪伴，同建立緊密嘅連繫。❤️

即刻收聽Yvonne嘅分享：https://www.rthk.hk/radio/radio3/programme/brunchwithnoreen/episode/1067275 🎙️✨

今年聖誕，我哋一齊同小朋友創造溫暖又難忘嘅時光。🎄👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Evita shared useful tips 💡, including:
• What to consider when choosing a school 🏫

We have supported countless families through the school application journey ❤️, and we believe the professional knowledge and experience we shared will definitely give valuable insights for parents!
