She also started the China Welfare Institute Kindergarten, a preferred option for most local parents. In 2020, a branch was opened in Pudong.

Papercutting is taught to children at the Pudong branch of China Welfare Institute Kids, an after-school activities organisation for children.
A branch of the China Welfare Institute Kids, which organizes after-school activities for children, was established in Chuansha in January. Here, children engage in a variety of pursuits in science, art, reading and drama.
A group of young volunteers was formed to put into practicing Soong's educational philosophy, which she advanced as early as the 1940s, and encourages children to teach math, reading and writing to their peers.
The volunteers will also serve as guides at the exhibition center.
