Ms. Sha Fengling founded First Footprint Early Childhood Education Center in 2016, hoping to contribute to the new generation of preschool education, and also hope to help children grow up happily and healthily through educating parents and curriculum design. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and one hundred years to cultivate people. Ms. Sha regards education as a cause to help the next generation grow up healthily and contribute to society.

In 2018, we launched Chinese character recognition game teaching materials designed by Teacher Sha, which implements our concept of learning through games. Through parent-child games, children can learn a complete set of more than 500 new characters in a short time, laying the foundation and mentality for children to love Chinese characters.

Starting in 2019, Teacher Sha has become one of the experts who wrote the admission guide for kindergarten preparatory classes of Hehua Publishing House for two consecutive years.

In 2020, the Playgroup Instructor Certificate Course, the first and only one run by Playgroup in Hong Kong, was successfully launched. It is a Level 3 course recognized by the Qualifications Framework of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. She hopes to promote high-quality early childhood education through training industry elites and contribute to helping Hong Kong children grow up healthily and happily.

First Footprint's team includes registered kindergarten teachers who are familiar with kindergarten interviews, child development and teaching experience and other rich knowledge. The group also has a music teacher with level 8 piano proficiency, who uses music, rhythm and other elements to meet the needs of children to help them grow. All teachers at First Footprint undergo rigorous internal training to achieve consistent teaching standards and goals.
