CHRISTIAN YOUTH CENTRE KINDERGARTEN (YAU TONG)

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it'' (Proverbs 22:6). We train up children so that they learn ''how to learn'', ''how to communicate with people'', ''independent thinking'', ''problem solving'' and ''the ability to express themselves''. We nurture children to develop good habits and to lay the foundation for their future learning. We actively develop holistic education for children.

Focusing on biliteracy and trilingualism, we teach in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Based on the physical and mental development of children as well as the six learning areas, we emphasize the comprehensiveness and use children's life experiences as the starting point to integrate the activities of differnt learning areas. Meanwhile, we use the connection between the main themes and the sub-topics to add or eliminate certain activities according to the children's interests, so as to ensure cohesion of kindergarten and primary school. 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 are child-oriented and we adopt the Activity Approach, the Thematic Approach and the Project-based Learning, together with the Spiral Progression, for teaching. According to children's development capabilities, we make use of interesting and diversified activities to enhance their learning interest. We also arrange trips and visits to sooth children's curiosity and exploring spirit. Besides, every year we organize the Visual Arts Week to foster children's literacy in arts. We ensure that children learn from play in a pleasant atmosphere.
