| curriculum_planning | Our spiral theme-based curriculum is designed according to the basic principle of '' children’s development'' and ''children’s learning'' . It is in line with the interests and life experiences of children of relevant ages, taking visual art as entry point and integrating with religious education, character fostering, music and physical fitness, Chinese and English language, mathematics and science. The school-based curriculum helps children attain continuous and balanced development for life-long learning in the domains of spirituality, ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and aesthetics. 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. |

| support_to_students | Our kindergarten has social workers and On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services (OPRS) to provide early identification and early referral counseling course recommendations for children.
