Dr. T.K.L Center

Serving Preschool and Home Based Care

Founded in 1975, the Dr. T. Kong Lee (T.K.L.) Center is our first location ever. The center was named after Dr. Lee, the founder of our generous donor, Lincoln University Foundation. He was an immigrant, an educator, and an inspiration to all of us at Kai Ming. This cozy center serves 20 children from 08:00 a.m. to 04:30 p.m. Its relatively small size allows our teachers to interact and observe the children closely.
