TSZ CHING ESTATE BODHI SIKSA KINDERGARTENAdhering to the spirit of the school motto of "Being Wise and Compassionate", we develop high-quality whole-person education and take care of every child with an attitude of "love, patience, and sincerity" so that children can enjoy a pleasant campus life. Principal Zhang Guiying is committed to cultivating the balanced and comprehensive development of children's six educations: "moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual". He leads the teaching team to create a high-quality learning environment, adopts heuristic and creative teaching, emphasizes child-centered independent learning, and takes care of their learning interests and development needs, so as to become good children with both good conduct and academic performance.

"Child-centered" special courses to build common skills in the 21st century

The school is child-centered and designs a new teaching model that combines game elements to provide children with heuristic education and an immersive learning experience. In order to cultivate children's reading habits and open the door to the treasure house of knowledge, the school adds new books to the library every year to satisfy students' pursuit of knowledge. Teachers also regularly recommend high-quality books to children and encourage them to share books with different stories with their peers, effectively enhancing knowledge exchange. In the process of reading books, children will make associations and speculations about the content, thereby cultivating their logical thinking ability, stimulating their spirit of curiosity, and cultivating independent learning habits.

In addition, the school is committed to designing diversified learning activities, such as dramas, picture books and stories, project studies, etc. Teachers make good use of questions during the teaching process to arouse children's deep thinking and stimulate their creative thinking. Principal Zhang said: "Faced with the rapid development and changes of society, we hope that children will not only master book knowledge, but more importantly, know how to integrate it and apply what they have learned to real life. When faced with problems, they will know how to use different methods to design solutions and build problem-solving abilities. Therefore, the teaching team will use positive guidance and education to help children learn to face difficulties independently and try to solve them, and at the same time dare to express personal emotions and practice positive values."

Pay attention to Chinese cultural education and stimulate children’s learning potential

Chinese culture has an important impact on students' value cultivation, language development, and cultural exchanges. The school has specially set up the "Four Arts Center", which uses piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as teaching media to allow children to experience the wonders of traditional Chinese culture and promote the development of multiple intelligences. The teaching team starts from the environment and creates a learning environment full of Chinese culture. There are pictures of the four gentlemen of flowers - "plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums". Through in-depth introductions by teachers, children are led to understand the meaning behind Chinese culture, so that students can subtly build good character and develop an admiration for nature and traditional culture.

Principal Zhang added: "Taking the piano as an example, we will lead children to study the guzheng to cultivate their sentiments, cultivate their perception of pitch, melody, and rhythm, and enhance their musical intelligence; playing chess is a sports and entertainment activity with a chess and competitive nature. When children play chess, they can not only exercise their logical thinking, concentration and problem-solving abilities, but also further improve their social skills and deeply experience the charm of Chinese culture by playing games with others and exchanging chess skills."

Teachers will also lead children to appreciate the works of different calligraphers, learn about various calligraphy artistic styles and fonts, concretely visualize children's understanding of "letters", and appreciate the spiritual value presented by calligraphy, thereby promoting traditional Chinese art. In the process of calligraphy, children can better understand the structure and strokes of words and improve their sensitivity to words. In addition, the school also arranges for children to learn about ink painting and gives them space to create freely and express their creativity, stimulating children's artistic talent and pursuit of beauty.

Lay a biliterate and trilingual foundation and cultivate outstanding cross-cultural talents

Although the school is a local kindergarten, it has a diverse enrollment, attracting children from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds, including Canada, India, the Philippines, etc., creating a multicultural learning environment that provides rich nutrients for children's language development. The school attaches great importance to the biliteracy and trilingual development of young children. Through exchanges with peers from other countries, the school builds understanding and respect for different cultures, recognizes the diversity of languages ​​and cultures, and cultivates them to become outstanding talents with international vision and cross-cultural communication skills.

In order to promote the development of multiculturalism in the school, in addition to strengthening Chinese language learning, the school also encourages parents to read with their children to share the pleasure of reading and promote communication between parents and children. At the same time, the school has established a parent-teacher association to strengthen the relationship between the school and parents, communicate about children's living and learning situations, and lead children towards their ideal future through home-school collaboration.
