HONG KONG CHRISTIAN SERVICE KWUN TONG NURSERY SCHOOL

Childhood is a unique and precious stage in the life cycle. We focus on providing children a safe, healthy, rich, interactive and high quality learning environment so as to enhance balanced development in the intellectual, physical, emotional and social aspects. We stimulate learning ethusiasm, cultivate good living habits, value balanced development of the body and the mind. We get children well-prepared for primpary school. Through a wealth of activities in culture and arts, we cultivate children's mind for fine arts. We help working parents to educate and take care of their children, allowing them to keep their mind on work.

We develop our curriculum according to theories and researches on children development, needs of physical and mental development and learning interest; we focus on comprehensive and balanced development as well as individuality; we provide resourceful and natural environment for language learning and for strengthening language development; we use lively and diversified games and activities to stimulate creativity and potential of physical and artistic development of the kids. 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.

Curriculum implementation is based on Project Study and the Thematic Approach. We focus on children’s life experiences and cultivation of civic awareness. There is time for daily news sharing, site visits, expert visits, field trips, family events and the like to complement teaching arrangements. We put a strong emphasis on the development of creative arts: apart from providing diversified culture and arts activities such as music, drama, fine arts, dance, civic education, environmental education and moral education every afternoon. At the same time, we provide ample learning opportunities for children; we cater for the children’s growth and developmental needs by setting up the indoor and outdoor Montessori Classroom. Moreover, we considered play as an ideal mode of activity that facilitates children’s physical and psychological development. We believe that children’s ultimate potential could be stimulated in a special and safety environment with suitable free play materials. In addition, children understand new concepts through areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, that is about the 'Nature & Life' curriculum. Last but not least, we organize children’s creative painting exhibition, creative drama performance and inter-school children’s chorus every year.
