With the Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guidelines 2017 as the teaching guideline, we integrate the Christian spirit into the children’s learning and life, to carry out the children-oriented education method. We adopt A Biblical Foundation Curriculum of Childhood Education as a school-based curriculum, which is published by Preschool Children Education College, American Hawaii the University of Nation, Kona, combine with the kindergarten learning kits to formulates teaching content based on children-oriented. The curriculum is in line with children's life experiences, to cultivate children's whole-person development, to help children learn in all aspects and get balanced development.
