CARITAS NURSERY SCHOOL - SHATIN

School Motto 'Be Faithful, Diligent and Stay Simple; Love God and One Another'. We aim to foster the balanced and holistic development of young children in social, intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual and aesthetic aspects, as well as to nurture our children full of Loving, initiative Learning and with Leading potential.

Curriculum will be planned in regard to the interest, physical and psychological development of children. The principle of ‘child-oriented’ is adopted and various learning domains, including Language, Self and Society, Early Mathematics and Science, Physical Fitness and Health, Art are integrated. We will follow the “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide” (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.

To develop bi-literate and tri-lingual abilities of children, Integrated Theme-based Curriculum and Whole Language Natural Learning Approach are adopted. Children’s ability to listen and talk, and to apply used language will be strengthened through Shared Reading Approach, Phonemic Awareness and extended language activities. It is through songs and stories to increase children’s exposure to Putonghua. Children are also encouraged to write stories and songs. Project Learning Approach is also adopted to enhance the problem solving skills and creative thinking of children.
