PO LEUNG KUK TONG CHOR NAM (LEK YUEN) KINDERGARTEN

Through a diversity of child care services, including Whole-Day sessions, Integrated Program, Respite and Extended Care services, which meet the needs of the society and families, we aim at children’s all-round care and holistic education. Our enriching learning environment is constructive to the development of children’s inquiry spirit and self-learning spirit, helping lay a solid foundation for life-long learning.

The Kuk attaches great importance to child-centered education to accommodate the individual differences among its students. Children can learn at their own pace by selecting the learning activities according to their abilities and interests, which are conducted under teachers' guidance and self-directed learning alternatively or simultaneously. The teaching design is based on the entire school as a whole and is no longer limited to a single classroom; the learning-rich environment encourages children to explore and learn independently, so as to achieve comprehensive and balanced development. 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 Kuk child care service adopts an integrated teaching method along with the thematic approach in pre-school education, with content covers six major Learning Areas, including language, early childhood mathematics, nature and living, arts and creativity, self and society, and physical fitness and health. Versatile extra-curricular activities are arranged for students to enrich real-life learning experience and widen their horizons. Mixed Age Class peer interactions construct more opportunities for younger children to mimic the older students on problem solving and improves their learning efficiency. The scaffolding effect stimulates children's language development, and facilitate their social skills with mutual respect when getting along with others.
