| curriculum_planning | It is a school-based curriculum. We adopt the “Biblical Foundation for Early Childhood Education” published by The University of the Nations Early Childhood Education Centre, emphasizing both knowledge acquisition and practical application in daily life to promote holistic development. The instructional content is aligned with the Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide provided by the Education Bureau, and additional enrichment programs are designed to meet the specific needs of our local curriculum. We incorporate picture book teaching into our learning activities, allowing children to immerse themselves in and enjoy storylines, fostering a love for reading. 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. |
