Curriculum planning
|
Our curriculum is based on spiral approach with theme-based learning and integrated with project approach. It allows young learners to experience an independent learning experience, establish children ’s interest in learning, and enhance children’s critical thinking, self-confidence, self-discipline and interaction in group discussions. We will allow students to explore out of the classroom and carry out a full range of learning experience activities according to the learning objectives of the monthly themes.
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
|
Young children learn through thematic instruction, project activities, games and integrated activities to develop their multiple intelligences. We attach importance to the development of children's language proficiency, thus designed a series of engaging activities for them to initiate preliminary exposure to both Mandarin and English through their mother tongue.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Our school performs continuous observation to assess children's performance and development that include:" Physical Fitness and Heatlh","Early Childhood Mathematics", " Nature and Living", " Self and Society" and "Art and Creativity."
|
School Characteristics
|
School vision and mission
|
Adhering to the Christian value of “not to be served, but to serve”, we aim to provide all-round education for young children. We see early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning, therefore in the traditional of YMCA, we nurture the “spiritual growth” in young children to help them maintain steadfast beliefs, proper values, learn to get along with others and communicate. “Intellectual growth” relates to the importance of developing children’s language and thinking for self-expression, and to groom their ability in solving problems. “Physical growth” is achieved through music and fitness games for co-ordinated bodily movements and learning self-care.
