Mid-Levels West area, vast independent school building, diverse learning facilities, demonstrating excellent whole-person education

WOMEN'S WELFARE CLUB WESTERN DISTRICT HONG KONG KINDERGARTEN is located in the western mid-level area of ​​Central and Western District, close to many cultural and educational buildings, such as the Man Mo Temple, the News Expo and the Medical Museum. Combining the strong international cultural atmosphere in the district with well-equipped independent school buildings, the school has been providing a diverse and comprehensive learning environment for children in the district since its establishment. School Superintendent Ms. Luo Qu Huifen promotes learning with love, and together with Principal Wen Zhilun, who has rich teaching experience, implements the mission of the school running group to "teach without distinction, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, child-centered, and holistic education", focusing on cultivating the all-round growth of children morally, intellectually, physically, socially, and aesthetically.

Make good use of diverse spaces and integrate teaching with life education

School Superintendent Ms. Luo Qu Huifen believes that the senses are an important tool for children to understand the world. Children as early as preschool age can learn to interact with their surroundings through various information in the environment, thereby establishing different cognitions. To this end, the school attaches great importance to school building design and tries every means to create multiple characteristic classrooms, aiming to provide students with different sensory stimulation learning and a wide range of teaching materials to help them expand their knowledge and lay a good foundation for learning. The school not only has a social work room, but also has a library with more than 5,000 books, as well as study areas with different themes.

Principal Wen added that the school specially built the "Children's Medicine Expo" to coordinate with the "Children's Medicine Course". The course covers six major areas of early childhood education. Students can not only master basic medical concepts, but also learn basic first aid methods, and learn through "hands-on" activities. For example, when learning to use cotton clips, students can not only practice their small hand muscles, but also understand the water-absorbing properties of cotton wool. The "Children's Medical Expo" also has models of human organs and different medical tools to coordinate with situational teaching, allowing children to come into contact with real stethoscopes, understand the structure and use of human organs, and think about the value of life and the grace of parents in giving birth.

Explore natural ecology and unleash artistic potential

In order to promote nature education, the school also has a "Nature Exploration Beetle Hall". Through the different insect photos and characteristic picture books in the hall, students can have an in-depth understanding of the types of insects and their growth characteristics. There is a special "petting corner" in the museum. With the help of teachers, children can change food for beetles and learn the value of life through caring for animals. In addition, the park also built a new "Free Play Room" this year, which allows students to learn through games through different interesting and diverse preschool learning materials and educational toys.

Principal Wen pointed out: "As one of the few kindergartens in the district with an independent school building, the school also has an independent outdoor garden. Students can paint on the painting walls of the garden and develop their artistic talents. Teachers will also rearrange the garden environment according to different learning themes and seasonal changes, and camp outdoors with students, conduct planting activities, etc., so that children can learn and grow in a beautiful natural environment."

Comprehensive curriculum: Promote English through reading

The school's teaching team regards "education with heart" as their common aspiration, takes careful care and education of each student, and takes it as its own responsibility to cultivate students to establish a positive learning attitude. Through the design of comprehensive curriculum content, game-based teaching, and the addition of out-of-school inspection and project study elements, children’s learning abilities are promoted. The teacher also specially promotes "Go teaching" so that students can learn to see the overall situation through analysis of chess patterns, think from multiple angles, and strengthen their logical thinking skills.

Principal Wen pointed out that the school adheres to the history and culture of the Central and Western District and attaches particular importance to students' biliteracy and trilingual development. In addition to having foreign English teachers on campus from Monday to Thursday, Friday is also designated as a "Special English Day", and the school's mathematics and general knowledge classes are also taught mainly in English, so that students can connect to English primary schools in the district in the future. Understanding that reading is an important tool for language learning, the school publishes personalized English picture books designed by students every year to recognize children's achievements in English learning and further promote a reading and creative atmosphere in the school.

Enrich book collection and strengthen national identity

In order to cultivate students' positive values and deepen their national identity, the school actively integrates moral education and civic education into the curriculum. Chinese cultural learning elements are added to the campus layout, reading materials and study areas, so that students can understand the moral character and noble spiritual values ​​in Chinese culture from an early age, and thus be proud of their national identity. As the founding sponsor of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, Principal Wen has also purchased a variety of Chinese culture reading materials for the school, mainly three-dimensional books, to cater for students' learning interests. The books have rich themes, ranging from zodiac culture, the "Four Great Classics", and even picture books on ancient Chinese architecture. The school also has a three-meter-long "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and a four-meter-long three-dimensional book of the Forbidden City, allowing students to experience the essence of Chinese culture vividly on paper.
