Curriculum planning

The Yew Chung kindergarten programme was established nine decades ago in Hong Kong, which is one of the top Hong Kong preschools and initiated many practices. Through worldwide education research, the programmes our highly experienced teaching staff bring today are progressive, up-to-date and very well balanced for our children of the future. YCIS believes every child is unique and should seek their personal journey to grow in the key areas of child development: emotional, personal and social; communication and literacy; numeracy, problem solving and reasoning; understanding knowledge of the world; physical development and creative development.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
At YCIS, children are learning through play, discovering things and developing problem solving skills. Language, literacy, art and music are key features. Character formation and self-help skills development complete the programme.
YCIS creates stimulating, play-based child-centred learning environments in a bilingual setting, English and Chinese, nurtured by our Co-Teachers. Early embracement of music features in our four year olds’ violin programme. Co-Teachers build a portfolio per child to show their individual development path through open exploration.

School Characteristics

School vision and mission
|
At YCIS, our bilingually focused, research-based, and holistic approach to education helps our students build a strong foundation and range of skills from an early age. In our ECE programme, it’s imperative that our students view themselves as competent learners and know that they are valued. As part of our philosophy, we welcome families’ interest in their children’s learning journey, and we encourage their active involvement on campus and in our school community.
YCIS nurtures students in a multicultural environment through a fully rounded education with bilingual focus.

Support to non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students

Co-teaching effectively facilitates the bilingual learning environment where both Chinese and English languages are equally valued. ECE Co-Teachers provide an environment where children interact naturally, feel comfortable about their own identity and communication and begin to move easily between cultures.Co-teaching effectively facilitates the bilingual learning environment where both Chinese and English languages are equally valued.
