Curriculum type

Curriculum planning

Based on EDB’s Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide (2017), our curriculum is “child-centered” and age appropriate for children’s learning abilities and interests. Learning activities are thematic and play-based, using real life themes covering all aspects of whole person development that nurture children’s multiple intelligences through six learning areas: language, nature and living, early mathematics, arts and creativity, physical health, and self and society. 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.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities

1.Implement integrated learning, thematic learning, project approach and learning through play.2.Language learning: Implement tri-lingual approach with qualified native Putonghua and English teachers to support language developments in listening, speaking, reading and writing through storytelling, nursery rhymes and role play activities. Supported by Quality Education Fund (QEF), the parent-child reading scheme encourages good reading habits. 3.Inquiry-based learning: Integrated science, maths and art activities inspire children’s creativity and curiosity to explore science and art in nature. Activities are inquiry-based allowing children to learn through play. Programmes include Science Exploration project supported by QEF, and Kids Greenway Project on “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” and “Bio-diversity” to nurture children to become proactive self-learners with caring attitude towards environmental issues. 4.Promoting creativity: Creative activities led by experienced art teachers including visual arts, music and dance. Children explore a variety of interesting and sensory play activities to express their creative thinking using multiple art medium.
5.Differentiated learning – To cater for children’s different needs, differentiated learning contents and activities are carried out in whole class, small group and individual settings.6.Effective use of community resources: Children regularly involve in community visits and performances to broaden their exposure, build self-confidence, compassion and knowledge of the community.

Assessment of children’s learning experiences

Conduct continuous formative and summary assessments of children’s learning and development through observations with reference to developmental milestones and objectives, so that teachers can cater for different learning needs. Individual learning portfolio documents each child’s learning experiences, for parents’ understanding of children’s performances and growth in all developmental aspects.
