Curriculum Details
Curriculum type
Local
Curriculum planning
We structure our curriculum based on the "Guide to the Pre-primary Curriculum" to cater to children’s development characteristics and needs and their life experiences. Therefore, our children can learn to learn through play and develop problem-solving abilities, which engenders their potentials and self-learning spirit.
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.
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
We organize activities in a variety of teaching approaches, such as theme-based teaching, group teaching, project-based learning and activity approach. To enhance children’s language competence and self-confidence, we include drama elements to our curriculum, and provide children with an opportunity of playing different roles, in which they can show their love for others. With the focus on bi-literacy and tri-lingualism learning, we engage professional teachers to teach children Mandarin and English courses.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
Through continuous observations, records are kept of children’s development in all aspects, with appropriate counseling and follow-up. A further children’s learning assessment sheet is distributed on a monthly basis to give parents an understanding of their children’s performance in all aspects at each learning stage.
