CASTAR KINDERGARTEN (LEI MUK SHUE)

Taking cultivation of children as our responsibility, we based on children’s potentials and development characteristics, provide children with care and experience necessary for learning to arouse children’s learning interest; meanwhile, we also help them gain balanced development in morality, intelligence, physical ability, sociability and art to get them prepared for future life so that they will grow into initiative and responsible citizens based on lifelong learning.

Based on the structure of “experience-based learning, curiosity-based exploration and care-based growth”, we design diversified activities such as site visiting, stem activities, DIY cooking, drama education and e-learning. These activities are based on the Guide of the Pre-primary Curriculum which enables children to carry out meaningful learning through observation, operation, thinking and application. The goal is to obtain different categories of knowledge and experience and develop multiple intelligences in an all-round way. 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.

We mainly adopt “theme-based” and “project-based” teaching modes. We have implemented “experience-based” and ''mixed age” learning modes including small group learning, free play and extension activities to let children acquire knowledge and different learning experience through personal practice and practical involvement and promote peer leading and mutual simulation through cross-age interaction. The English courses are taught by native English teachers. We have adopted an English day. It is an interactive English Program that to enhance their English skills and to increase their confidence in using English.
