ST. STEPHEN'S GIRLS' COLLEGE KINDERGARTEN

As a kindergarten embodied with the Christian spirit, we aim to provide quality early childhood education. We strive to provide our students with an engaging learning environment so that they receive complete moral, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual development and will be well prepared for lifelong learning. We are also committed to helping our students to develop their individual potential, and to become individuals who know how to appreciate themselves, respect others and care about the society.

Our school’s main learning objective is “child-centered”. We teach our children thematically using story books whilst integrating art and music education providing a rich learning environment to stimulate the children’s will to learn actively. We carry out a variety of activities according to their needs and interests. Building a lifelong learning foundation skill and positive values, children are exposed to a variety of activities allowing them to fully develop their skills and abilities as a whole child at an early age. The set skills include language and literacy development skills, socio-emotional and moral development skills in nature, art and creativity, cognitive development skills with a focus on early mathematics, and individual/team motor development skills. 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.

Our curriculum is designed based on children’s life experiences and in accordance with their developmental growth through storytelling combining music, visual arts, and other teaching materials, as well as the use of sensory perception to develop their knowledge, skills, and attitude.
