At the same time, children are taught according to abilities, special needs and development of children are also catered for.; 5.Inheriting Chinese Culture-By understanding Chinese festival customs, appreciating and experiencing various forms of traditional art and together with participating in related project-based learning activities, we aim to cultivate young children’s interest in Chinese culture and foster their sense of national identity.
