HONG KONG TAOIST ASSOCIATION YUEN YUEN KINDERGARTEN (TUNG TAU ESTATE)

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.

We arrange the curriculum according to children’s physical and mental development and learning interests. We engage English teachers and Mandarin teachers in school to promote children’s language development and improve their biliterate and trilingual competence; leverage teaching aids and activities to inspire children's logical thinking and build basic mathematical concepts; tell stories and hold mixed-age activities to help children foster a good moral character; and offer musical and artistic education programmes to arouse children’s interest in music and art and help them cultivate creativity. 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,with theme-based and group-based teaching methods to promote children’s active learning attitude, interpersonal communication and development in art, physical ability and cognition. We also teach students information technology by equipping each classroom with a computer, touch TV and Internet system. We provide a variety of activities such as visiting, community services, uniform teams and learning activities, to enable children to learn from practical experience.
