| curriculum_planning | Core Value︰Child Centredness Aim︰Build a foundation for a healthy life for children To cultivate the whole-person development of children, establish the foundation for a healthy life and nurture children who dare to face challenges in their lives. We believe that letting children have the personal qualities and abilities of ''being courageous, distinguishing right from wrong, creative thinking, healthy and vigorous, willing to collaborate, good at communication, unique and often grateful'' is the most important task for children in this stage of development. 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. |
