CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE LOUEY CHOY KWAN LOK KINDERGARTEN Based on the love of Christ, we provide children with comprehensive and excellent preschool education so that children can learn happily and achieve balanced whole-person development. Principal Shum Jingwen and her team believe that educators should embrace their mission, educate children on the right path with love and sincerity, and establish correct values. The school is committed to establishing a positive, caring and sincere Christian campus atmosphere, and plans courses in five core directions, combined with diversified experiential activities and home-school cooperation to promote the growth of seedlings.
Construct a bilingual environment and improve Chinese literacy
The kindergarten stage is an important initiation for language learning, and schools attach great importance to the foundation of students' Chinese learning. Principal Sum shared: "The kindergarten class implements bilingual teaching, with English and Cantonese class teachers, and five-day English classes for the lower and upper classes. The school also cooperates with Sheng Kung Hui Kiffu Primary School to create a joint learning English program for young children, allowing children to experience the learning atmosphere of primary school early. The foreign English teachers in the primary school will focus on strengthening children's English pinyin skills, provide different opportunities for listening and speaking in English, systematically train listening, speaking, and reading skills, and further improve their language literacy."
At the same time, the school implements three major reading programs to improve students' language proficiency. Among them, the "Audio English Book Reading Program" is highly supported and recognized by parents. Students can scan the QR code on the book to listen to the content and sound effects at home, stimulating children's interest in learning English independently and improving their listening and reading abilities. The school uses different games such as I Love Reading, Literacy Contests, and English Challenge Stations to enhance children's sensitivity to words and expand their vocabulary. The school will also introduce the vocal-emotional teaching method to guide children to organize sentences and learn good sentences through group discussions of two or four people to further strengthen their language expression skills.
Diversified learning experience, integrating learning into games
The school attaches great importance to learning experience and arranges a large number of interesting activities to allow children to learn through games. The school arranges for children to start experiences in their own community, including visiting shops, MTR stations, blowing bubbles outdoors, sketching, visiting elderly centers, etc. The school will also take children out of the community to visit farms, different parks, children's exploration museums, 2-1 playgrounds, etc., to conduct life education and nature exploration, making education and entertainment fun. Through these experiential learning activities, schools not only allow children to "have fun", but also gradually build their learning abilities and life attitudes through every exploration and interaction, and improve students' ability to observe and use their brains to solve problems.
In addition, the school has also organized a variety of unique and meaningful activities, including Cantonese opera experience, pet sharing, singing led by Sister Kafu, magic activities, parent-child pot vegetable feast, group music flower market, beach visits and other diversified activities. It can be seen that the school is committed to creating rich learning opportunities for students, enlightening their knowledge and attitudes, and students' growth and learning experience are quite diverse and fulfilling.
Unleash your potential, develop your strengths, and build confidence and resilience
In order to encourage children to express themselves bravely, Principal Sum said: "The school sets up different stages and implements Show and Tell activities, allowing students to share prepared content in front of the whole class; monthly birthday star performances are held to encourage children to bravely perform in front of the whole school teachers and students, and to exercise courage and self-confidence. At the same time, the school also offers multi-interest classes, including Chinese dance, taekwondo, English Zhiduo FUN, Mathematical Olympiad classes, etc. to help them explore their personal interests."
The school also actively encourages children to participate in off-campus competitions. For example, six students from the senior class participated in the "100-Story School" creative design competition organized by South Asia Books and won the kindergarten category school category. The winning works were displayed together with the original paintings of picture book master Toshio Iwai in the "Hundred Floors, Hundreds of Views: Toshio Iwai's Creative Journey" exhibition at the University of Hong Kong Art Museum. Various performances and competition experiences have cultivated young children who are positive, confident and persistent in the face of challenges.
Focus on moral education and take care of physical and mental development
Principal Shun said: "The school will hold a character star activity every two months, and select a few students in each class as encouragement to establish good character habits. Heavenly Father's Spiritual Garden will also be held twice a week, including moral sharing and Bible stories, allowing children to reflect quietly and promote moral and positive behavior. Education. In addition, a happy restaurant is set up every month, allowing children to interact with teachers, including hugging, high-fiving, spinning in circles, etc., to close the relationship between teachers and students. "The school actively develops moral education, and the results are also recognized by parents. Students are also willing to practice good character behaviors at home, and at the same time, students' empathy is strengthened.
Young-to-young connection: Actively promote co-cultivation of seedlings from an early age
The school's transition from kindergarten to primary school is gradually laid out from the entry stage to help children prepare. Every child needs to learn to manage personal belongings starting from the kindergarten class, and then practice putting away books, and doing things and resting according to the schedule, so as to cultivate their independent self-care ability. In addition, the school actively builds a primary school exchange network, cooperates with many primary schools in the district, arranges lectures and visits, and strives to promote joint education of young children, preparing parents and students for their transition to primary school. Children can build confidence and improve their adaptability in a safe and stable learning rhythm, laying a solid foundation for their future learning path.
