📚 Curriculum
Curriculum is planned in regard to children's interest, physical and psychological development. The principle of ‘child-oriented’ is adopted and various learning domains, including Language, Self and Society, Early Childhood Mathematics, Art and Creativity, Nature and Living, Physical Fitness and Health. 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.
🎯 Teaching Approach
Individual, group and interactive team activities are organized. Whole Language Natural Learning Approach is adopted and children are encouraged to re-write stories and to create rhymes. Children also express their feelings and opinions through drawing to lay down a good foundation of language. Shared Reading Approach and Phonemic Awareness are also adopted which has strengthened children's English listening and speaking ability. The implementation of Project Learning Approach has nurtured children to learn spontaneously, to communicate with others in a friendlier attitude and to enhance their problem-solving skills and creative thinking. Situational learning activities are arranged to enrich children's daily life experience. Moreover, Orff music learning is applied and children are free to express their emotions.
🤝 Student Support
Moral education is emphasized. ‘Children Month’ and ‘Love and Care Campaign’ are launched annually in order to develop children's qualities of forgiving, respecting and loving. To facilitate children’s adaption to changing environment, mixed age activities, adaption programmes for newly admitted children and preparation to primary school life are organized. Moreover, various activities, individual guidance and play therapy are organized by the ‘Stationing School Social Service Project’ in order to support children and families in need.
👨👩👧 Parent Activities
Parents are invited to lead children activities at school and participate in individual parent interview. There are various ways to enhance parents’ better understanding on children’s learning progress. The establishment of Parent-teacher Association has also the roles in planning.
