By upholding the spirit of quality services and promoting Christian care, we provide comprehensive care and education services for children aged 18m-6. According to the Guide to the Pre-primary Curriculum of EDB, we integrate the curriculum to design child-centred activities according to children’s interests and abilities.Our curriculum focusing on theme-based teaching, project-based learning and whole-language teaching. Our teaching focusing on children’s moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual development, let children grow in a loving, pleasant and safe environment. Develop children to be healthy, lively, caring, confident and responsible to lay a good foundation for future studies. 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 value the importance of child-centred education & the individual differences of children. By paying attention to individual needs, experiences, abilities and interests development and taking care of their physical, mental and spiritual well-beings. we use innovative and integrative approaches to bring out the special features of our school. Moreover, we provide field trips, workshops and extended learning activities (such as English, Mandarin, Physical Education, Visual Arts, Creative Music and Drama) to broaden their horizon and learn to be more confident, creative and active.
