Curriculum planning

A child-oriented curriculum that incorporates comprehensive and balanced teaching elements. We aim to trigger children's learning motivation and curiosity through games, visits and experimental activities. Emphasis on moral education through “life education” and “"environmental and ecological education" that teaches children to love others, respect for life , care for the environment and actively build positive values and outlook on life.
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.
