THE SALVATION ARMY CENTALINE CHARITY FUND KINDERGARTEN

''We value every child as a precious gift from God.'' With Christian love, we strive to provide quality preschool education services. Our curriculum, environment and learning experiences are tailored according to the children’s development needs to ensure their holistic and balanced growth on Physical Development, Cognitive and Language Development, Affective and Social Development, Aesthetic Development and Spiritual Development.

Through ‘project approaching’, the School develops the students’ self-exploration, logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, and train their mathematical logical thinking and self-care abilities through ‘Montessori’. ‘Free play’ is the core development of the course. We allow children to choose the content, playmates, playthings and gameplay freely and let them self-discover, expand and correct to carry out the process of self-learning. The School systematically integrate ''Perception'' training into the curriculum to expand children's knowledge. Teachers guide children use different ''perceptions'' to learn and explore actively, internalize learning experience and skills. To develop higher ordered thinking such as reasoning, abstract and critical thinking progressively. The higher ordered thinking can apply in daily life and lay a good learning foundation for children in the future. Besides, the School values and have both ‘character and academic’ as the development direction. We also focus on life education, and use ‘Bravo’ – the character positive plan, to build a positive life attitude and value. 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.
