Curriculum planning
|
The spiral theme-based curriculum is supported with specially designed activities and project-based approach for independent learning of children. Group activities are designed to guide children to plan, do and review so as to arouse their learning interest, develop self-confidence, self-discipline and problem-solving ability. Learning through play is also included in the group activities.Students are arranged to leave the classroom and carry out all-round learning experiences and activities as required by the themes learnt.
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.
