YMCA OF HONG KONG CHRISTIAN KINDERGARTEN (KAI CHING)

Based on the spirit of Christ's love for people, we use spiritual education to integrate the curriculum of Moral, Intellectual, Physical, Social, Aesthetic, and Emotional Education. We use Christian education as a teaching guide to build up students' positive values and outlook on life towards others and themselves, and to nurture children to become future pillars of society who love God and love others.

Using the “Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines 2017” as the curriculum planning guideline and the “Basic Early Childhood Bible Curriculum” published by the College of Pre-school Childhood Education of the National University of Hawaii as the blueprint, supplemented by the kindergarten teaching materials, the “child-centered” teaching content is set to match the children's life experience and to cultivate the whole-person development of the children. 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.
