PO LEUNG KUK CHOI KAI YAU KINDERGARTEN

To provide various child care services to meet the needs of the society and families, such as whole-day class, integrated programme, occasional child care and extended services, to provide all-round care and education for children. Mixed-age learning is launched. In a vertical group, children are guided for self-directed and interactive learning in a learning area equipped with teaching tools appropriate for different ages so as to enrich their social and learning experiences in line with our child-centred approach.

The child-centred curriculum is designed according to children’s needs of development. The learning contents integrate life experiences and interests of children. Various activities are arranged to promote balanced development including scientific explorations, drama, Orff music, affective education and creative art. Multiple sensory learning is provided to encourage exploration and strengthen children’s abilities of information handling and problem solving. The curriculum is reviewed for appropriateness on regular basis. 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.

Personal exploration and creativity are emphasized in learning. Children are arranged to leave the classroom and participate in community activities such as site visits and friendly visits. Classroom learning includes activity-based teaching, topic studies, individual learning and group learning. The Orff music theories are adopted in music activities. Native-speaking teachers are employed to teach the English language.
