Curriculum planning
|
Our curriculum arrangement is based on a theme-based curriculum and children's needs and strengths. Our teachers use various teaching strategies, including small group learning, high scope approach, project-based learning, and using picture books, etc. To facilitate children to be actively involved and develop as a whole person.
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.
