Mission

We are obliged to nurture our future generation with the aid of innovative technology

Vision

We believe well-behaving children with good manners could lead us to a brighter and more harmonious future

Strategy

Interactive Learning

Many parents find it difficult to explain complicated morals and lessons to younger kids. But it is not entirely impossible. One tip would be avoid overly harsh or soft tones. Children are adventurous and like to be rewarded for their effort. Gentle Kids encourage children to learn in an interactive way through games and missions, so that they can take the values with them for life.

Multiple Perspectives

In Hong Kong, many parents get home late because of work. Given the time constraints, parents might overlook children's behaviours and attitudes. Our app allows parents to get to learn more about their children through evaluations done by different caretakers, e.g. their teachers and tutors, giving you more directions on how to effectively mentor your child.

Becoming a Part of our Society

Our app allows children to have a more thorough understanding about people across different social groups. We believe children could spread this love and care by having a deeper understanding of others and hence, build a brighter tomorrow.

Getting Intimate

Being a working parent is hard. We therefore aim to provide a platform to facilitate the communication between you and your child. We also provide different suggestions for family activities where you can spend quality time with your family.

What do we value?

At school, only students who get straight As in every subject would be shortlisted to compete for the 'Excellent Conduct and Academic Award'. However, we believe that ethics and conducts are essential in education, and should not be limited to those who performs well academically. Children who value ethics could contribute to the society in an impactful way, bringing us closer to a brighter and better tomorrow. Therefore, we believe that children should have an equal opportunity of ethics education regardless of their background. We hope that children could learn good manners and well behaviours while using our app, so that they could spread the values learnt to the people around them and make a difference in the world.
