Curriculum planning

By upholding the spirit of quality services and promoting Christian care, we provide comprehensive care and education services for children aged 18m-6. According to the Guide to the Pre-primary Curriculum of EDB, we integrate the curriculum to design child-centred activities according to children’s interests and abilities.Our curriculum focusing on theme-based teaching, project-based learning and whole-language teaching. Our teaching focusing on children’s moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual development, let children grow in a loving, pleasant and safe environment. Develop children to be healthy, lively, caring, confident and responsible to lay a good foundation for future studies.
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.
