🎯 Mission

"Being child-oriented, we provide a healthy and happy environment for children to grow. We emphasize children’s holistic, balanced development, which includes cognitive and language development, affective and social development, physical and aesthetic development, so as to lay a solid foundation for their primary school education and life-long learning."

📚 Approach & Strategies

"Through the Thematic Approach and the Project Approach, we develop children’s learning abilities in various aspects. Through integrated teaching and the story-approach, as well as incorporating a variety of diversified learning activities and outings, children are able to gain first-hand experience, explore, study and develop a multitude of hands-on experiences. Children’s communication, collaboration, thinking and problem-solving skills are also strengthened through fun learning approaches and thereby cultivating personal character."

We strive to develop children’s learning abilities, establish language foundation in Chinese, English and Putonghua, as well as develop their self-confidence and independence.
assessment_of_children_learning_experiences Through continuous observation, we record and assess children’s learning performances. We provide guidance according to children’s individual differences. We create personal development portfolios to record children’s learning progress.
