🎯 Mission
"Sagarmatha Kindergarten was established in 2000 with a clear aim to provide quality education to children. English and Cantonese are the primary medium of instruction, since we are mindful to the need for children to learn the local culture and language in order to seamlessly integrate within the Hong Kong society at large. Thus, we have developed a focused, robust, and evolving theme that caters to the Chinese culture."
📚 Approach & Strategies
"Confidence, self-control, self-trust, determination, perseverance are attributes that we aim to instill in all our children for an enjoyable and productive future. These are traits that need nurturing with care, guidance, and loving encouragement, not repetition. We are mindful of this and implement it in every interaction and activity. Therefore, we offer a diverse and dynamic program that focuses on developing physical, social, emotional and intellectual skills of children."
