HONG KONG TAOIST ASSOCIATION FUNG YING TUNG SIN QUEEN'S HILL KINDERGARTEN

Our mission is to provide a holistic education based on Taoism, placing equal emphasis on students’ moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development. In accordance with our motto “Grasp Principles, Cultivate Virtues”, we are dedicated to helping students develop moral integrity and academic excellence.

Our curriculum follows the ''Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide'' (2017) and adopt “child-centredness”. It covers “Values and Attitudes”, “Skills” and “Knowledge”, which promotes a balanced development in children through approaches of “Real-life Themes”, “Integrated Approach” and “Learning through Play”, allows students to receive balanced learning opportunities in the five aspects of development. We employ Native English and Mandarin teachers to teach these languages in fun and interactive ways to enhance children’s biliteracy in Chinese & English and therefore encourage trilingualism (i.e. spoken Cantonese, Putonghua and English). We also offer a unique Chinese curriculum designed for NCS students to enhance their Chinese proficiency. We provide an online learning platform where children can learn and explore by using information technology. We promote character education for children to learn how to respect and care for others and help them to build up a positive set of values. Our diversified art activities help to cultivate children’s self-exploration and creativity while enlightening their creative ability. 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 adopt child-centredness teaching methods which are based on children’s life experience. We use theme-based learning, the project-based approach and storybook teaching methods to raise children’s initiative in learning. We also provide a variety of activities, including educational outings, science exploration, social services, uniform groups, etc., to give children lively, multisensory, interesting learning experiences and build up their confidence.
