curriculum_planning Based on the guidelines of the Education Bureau's preschool education curriculum, our school has integrated and designed a curriculum centered around unit themes, project-based learning, and whole language teaching. This curriculum also incorporates the five frameworks of positive education, which include: maintaining curiosity, building on strengths, embracing challenges, practicing kindness, and being fully engaged. The aim is to cultivate good character in young children, enhance their emotional and social development, and help them understand their own emotions and build self-image. We hope that children will recognize their personal value, develop the correct attitude and necessary skills for interacting with others. 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.
