Dr Brad Chan Yu-wing, Assistant Professor of the College and Co-Director of the Project, emphasized, "This year's event has expanded, serving as a platform for industry professionals to exchange ideas and strengthen the teacher professional community. The HKJC CoolPlay Project not only drew interest from kindergartens but also from innovative suppliers, particularly those focusing on exploring learning and sustainability for young children, opening up new avenues for the future of early childhood education."
