School Characteristics

Curriculum features

By centering children's learning around the use of stories, with relation to the theme of daily living and supplemented by Whole Language, and project work, the school focuses on children's life experiences and interests, and uses a series of diverse exploration activities and play to help children establish and develop their motivation, interest and ability to learn.

情緒教育

當幼兒面對新環境和認識新人物時，最需要的是一份安全感，這亦是幼兒投入校園生活及專注學習的首要條件。因此，本園重視情緒教育，老師將情緒教育自然地融入日常流程中，幼兒學會辨識不同的情緒和表達感受。老師亦會利用正面的情緒作為推動，令幼兒有著愉快安穩的情緒，建立正面的自我形象，幼兒得以在一個富安全感和被愛的環境下成長，使他們的身心都能得到健康的發展。

Whole Language Approach

"Whole language approach" brings all elements of language to the forefront, by allowing children to be exposed to a wider vocabulary in their daily life and using the strategy of daily story time so that children can gain an interest in language. Children are able to build a network of meanings between common words thereby consolidating their foundation and memory for literacy.

The Project Approach

The "Project Approach" is an in-depth exploration of a topic, allowing the topic to be covered deeply and extensively. The objective is to develop children's ability to work independently and confidently when studying and exploring. There is no set form or scale for this approach. It may be carried out by the class as a whole, small groups, or even individually, depending on the interest and ability of the child. The planned network of the "Project Approach" is multi-level and connected. An appropriate "Project Approach" allows children to suggest project topics, make assumptions, search for information, report conclusions and share their findings, from which they can experience the processes and strategies involved in constructing knowledge.

Sensory Motor Activities

Through life skills training, games and activities, the school helps to enhance children's sensory recognition skills, strengthen muscular endurance, improve stability of the arm and wrist, improve finger flexibility, and improve eye-hand coordination, etc., thereby consolidate the foundation for future reading, writing and learning.

To this end, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals has launched a series of "Sensory Motor Parent-child Play". As part of the training schedule, children are required to master basic skills before they begin reading and writing. These games also promote skills in language learning and overall development.

Practical Life Skills Training

Since the introduction of the Montessori philosophy in 2011, our school optimized the school environment to strengthen children's life skills training. The training allows children to have their own time and opportunities to learn how to take care of themselves and the environment. Through these experiences, children are able to learn, create a sense of order, and improve their coordination skills. When children are able to independently carry out tasks, it allows them to maintain encoional stability and improves their concentration skills.

Enhancement Programme

Leap! Body Movement Programme

Since 2009, this school has been a campus partner of the "Leap!" body Movement Programme jointly organised by the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation and Cloud Gate Dance School of Taiwan. This program is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 6 (both lower and upper kindergarten classes). The objective of the program is to allow children to gain an understanding of their bodies through playing games, explore the world, and create different movements with their bodies; under the guidance of music and their teachers, allowing children to learn to respect and understand one another. This programme that began in July 2014 has had continued sponsorship from the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation for the Cloud Gate Dance School of Taiwan, and "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals" has been responsible for the executive management of the "Leap!" body Movement Programme
