Our Philosophy:

Our primary mission is to nurture students' innate curiosity and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. We share the following aspiration for children:

To grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. (New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum)

We value the precious time of childhood and believe that children who have the opportunity to develop strong self-concepts and social and emotional skills are most successful both in school and later in life. Teachers, children, and parents all play important roles in the educational process.

Our educational philosophy is based on a developmentally appropriate play-based curriculum. This curriculum was developed by the Hong Kong Pre-school Playgroups Association (HKPPA) and is based on the UK Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. These practices include programs that promote children's active exploration of the environment so that children have the opportunity to explore, reflect, interact and communicate with other children and adults. We encourage a mixture of teacher-directed and child-directed activities. We use varied instructional strategies to meet the individual learning needs of children, and furthermore, we understand that the direction and speed of learning and growing will often fluctuate from day to day, according to where the child is and the people they are with.
