We understand that when you seek learning support for your child, you carry in your heart both hope for their future and a quiet, deep love for them. Here, we wish to walk with you through every step of the application process in the warmest and clearest way possible, to give you peace of mind and to help your child begin this learning journey smoothly.
Our Guiding Principle
The founding of “Little Dreams” stems from a simple yet steadfast belief: every child deserves to be seen, and every dream deserves to be nurtured. We firmly believe that a family’s financial situation should not be a barrier to a child’s pursuit of knowledge. Therefore, we open our arms to welcome all families in genuine need, so that together we can light a lamp on their child’s learning path.
Eligibility
This is the group we prioritise for our services. Please be assured that we fully understand the difficulties of daily life, and your application will receive our full attention and support.
We understand that many families may be on the edge of CSSA eligibility, facing similarly heavy financial pressures. If this describes your situation, we accept a written recommendation letter jointly signed by the Principal and the Registered School Social Worker of the school your child attends. This letter represents the school's understanding and support of your family's circumstances and is an important basis for us to provide our service.
Life can sometimes bring unexpected hardships. If your situation is special or urgent and does not fit into the above two categories, you are welcome to contact our Chief Executive directly. We have a discretionary mechanism in place and will listen carefully to your circumstances with a human-centred, caring approach to assess whether we can offer assistance.
We primarily provide whole-subject learning support for pupils from Primary 1 to Secondary 6. If you are a university student facing academic difficulties, you are also welcome to apply. Depending on the availability of volunteer teachers in the relevant subjects, we will do our best to match you with support.
Please note: To adhere to our service mission and resource allocation principles, our services are currently only available to Hong Kong permanent residents studying at schools in Hong Kong.
After you apply
Please email or post the completed form and required documents to our organisation.
Our colleagues will review your application carefully and empathetically. This process typically takes 21 working days.
Once approved, we will begin the matching process based on your child's grade level, subject needs, location, as well as our volunteer teachers' expertise and availability. We promise to always act in the child's best interest to find them the most suitable learning companion.
After a successful match, we will contact you and the volunteer teacher to arrange the first meeting, marking the beginning of this warm learning journey.
We understand that asking for help takes courage. But please believe that when you come to “Little Dreams,” you are not alone. The step you are taking for your child is a concrete expression of love. Our entire team will accompany you and your child on this path with respect, confidentiality, and sincerity.
Let us join hands to guard this seed together, waiting quietly for it to sprout, thrive, and grow into a towering tree that belongs to your child alone.
If you have any questions about the eligibility criteria or application process, please feel free to contact us anytime via email at contact@littledreams.org.hk or by phone at (2462 4681). We are here, ready to listen and happy to help.
