TWGHS LUCINA LAAM HO KINDERGARTEN

Sharing the educational mission of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, the kindergarten strives to provide a society with diversified pre-primary educational services. We provide Holistic Education to children through an engaging learning environment, so that children attain balanced development in the domains of language, intellect, physique, emotion and social skills. Based on ''Diligence, frugality, loyalty and faith'', we foster children to develop positive values and the ability to solve problems.

Our curriculum is set according to the Education Bureau's Guide to Pre-primary Curriculum to cover the six learning areas. We are the first kindergarten group to introduce two award-winning Korean curricula. Together with instructors of the Korean curricula, we construct and edit a curriculum framework and learning assessment that meet Hong Kong children's learning needs. Our main objective is to train up the generic skills and talents needed internationally and locally in the 21st century which include innovative thinking, mathematical logic, strategic thinking and problem-solving capabilities. Our curriculum matches children's need for whole person development and empahizes biliteracy and trilingualism. We provide 5 days of English time, Putonghua classess (taught by teachers who have obtained the Level One certification of the Putonghua Proficiency Test), etc. In addition, we implement Etiquette Lesson, picture book teaching and integrated creative arts courses. We also implement school-based environmental education. 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.

In order to provide a better English learning environment, the school offers bilingual half-day classes. Meanwhile, in order to enrich students' learning environment, the school has added some distinctive rooms or corners, such as, the Logic Building Room (Korean strategic teaching aids for elitist mathematical logic and Korean magnetic building blocks are placed in the room for children to play and learn), the Multi-purpose Learning Room (the base of innovative Learning, such as Etiquette Education etc.), the Auditorium (equipped with various musical instruments for nurturing children’s musical quality ), the Creative Art Gallery (with various art pieces for children to appreciate and diversified materials for children to do creative work) and Reading Corner (there are various books for children to read and love). Through multiple teaching strategies, such as the Thematic Approach and Picture Book Teaching (Chinese and English), we inspire children's innate learning initiative to ''observe, explore, experience, associate, operate and use'' through diverse activities.
