MELODY ANGLO-CHINESE KINDERGARTEN (PRIME VIEW GARDEN BRANCH)

We speak our children in the form playing. We help our children to establish a good morality ,be polite and confident with humility. Our pleasant and independent learning environment explore the potential of our children.

The curriculum is tailored on the 'child-oriented' principle - Physical, Mental development and Interest of children. We encourage children by ''Learning through Play'' , ''Learning by Doing'' and provide diversified activities. Children build up their knowledge through personal manipulation. We inspire children's potential, strengthen communication skills with others, expressing opinions, solving problems, analyzing judgements, etc. We promote biliteracy and trilingualism, children are guided to listen and speak more and they have more opportunities to encounter different terms. This helps to strengthen their listening and speaking skills in their daily lives. In addition, we actively promote children's moral education, which lays a sound foundation for whole person education. 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.

The curriculum includes thematic teaching, designed activities, storytelling, game-based learning, picture book teaching, and STEM, with regular visits from professionals for experience sharing, tours, and group exploration activities. Senior kindergarten students visit primary schools and participate in primary life experience days, helping them gain a better understanding of primary education and prepare for entering Primary One. The school environment incorporates elements of Chinese culture and designs courses rich in traditional Chinese art and cultural elements. Various activities are organized, such as celebrations for traditional festivals, arts and crafts, and reading character stories, providing young children with more opportunities to engage with Chinese culture. This helps them appreciate traditional Chinese arts and understand cultural values and virtues, such as filial piety, respect, care, and adherence to rules, fostering good character in children.
