Recently, Hiba Academy Hangzhou has once again secured outstanding results across several authoritative rankings released by KingLead, achieving a clean sweep of top positions in Hangzhou and demonstrating both sustained educational influence and strong developmental momentum.

Notably, this marks the second consecutive year in which our nursery has been recognised as No.1 in Hangzhou across KingLead's major rankings, following its inclusion in the China International Kindergarten Top 30·2025—where it stood as the only representative from Hangzhou.

In the KingLead China International Kindergarten Innovative Competitiveness Top 100·2026, Hiba Academy Hangzhou ranks No.1 in Hangzhou and No.8 nationally.

This ranking evaluates institutions across five key dimensions—facilities, faculty strength, social impact, sustainable operations and expert assessment—placing particular emphasis on innovation in philosophy, curriculum, integration and design. It aims to identify international kindergartens distinguished by both innovative spirit and long-term sustainability. The Academy's rise in this ranking reflects its sustained commitment to embedding "innovation-driven growth" into both curriculum design and educational practice.

In the KingLead China International Kindergarten Brand Value Top 100·2026, Hiba Academy Hangzhou also performs strongly, ranking No.1 in Hangzhou and No.14 nationwide.

With a focus on sector influence, this ranking assesses brand heritage, educational philosophy, quality of provision and capacity for sustainable development. Hiba's well-established educational framework, coupled with a continuously evolving pedagogical vision, has earned it wide recognition in terms of brand value—further underscoring its long-term, purpose-driven approach to education.

Hiba Academy Hangzhou is the only nursery in Hangzhou to be featured among the China International Kindergarten British Characteristic Top 10·2026.

British-style education emphasises a balanced development of order and concentration, integrating structured routines with inquiry-based learning. Within a consistent and secure rhythm, children are supported to sustain engagement and deepen their learning. Recognising the early years as a sensitive period for both order and focus, Hiba creates clearly defined learning boundaries alongside a secure and thoughtfully designed environment—nurturing intrinsic motivation while gradually cultivating self-discipline and composure in learning.

In more education-focused distinctions, Hiba Academy Hangzhou was recognised among the China International Kindergarten Leadership Characteristic Top 10·2026.

This distinction centres on the cultivation of leadership as a core competency—manifested through confidence, empathy and a sense of responsibility when working collaboratively towards shared goals. The early years represent a critical period for social development and self-awareness. Through intentionally designed daily learning and interactions, Hiba fosters listening, expression, responsibility and collaborative problem-solving, laying a robust foundation for each child's future leadership development.

Further reinforcing its academic distinction, Hiba Academy Hangzhou has, within this academic year, successfully achieved certification in the "Curiosity Approach", becoming the only nursery in Hangzhou and the second in China to do so.

The Curiosity Approach draws upon globally respected early years philosophies, including Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Waldorf. At its core lies a child-centred approach, with particular emphasis on the role of environment in learning. Through the use of authentic, natural and sensory-rich materials and spatial design, it seeks to ignite children's curiosity and sustained desire to explore, while fostering a sense of belonging and intrinsic motivation through meaningful interaction with their surroundings.

These accolades not only affirm the educational quality and philosophy of Hiba Academy Hangzhou, but also recognise its continued commitment to the essence of early years education and to advancing innovative practice. Looking ahead, our nursery will remain steadfast in its pursuit of excellence—continuing to explore new frontiers in innovation, brand development and curriculum design, while providing every child with a richer, deeper and more expansive foundation for growth.
