Pre-School

Based on the philosophies of the Reggio Emilia educational project from Italy, we offer an inquiry-based programme that supports the growth and development of inquiring minds. We encourage our young children to explore their environment and express themselves using multiple literacies. These include dialogue, singing, movement, drawing, painting, designing and constructing, collage, dramatic play and music.

Our Image of a Child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent and most of all, connected to adults and other children.

Of course, education is not based solely on relationships; however, we consider relationships to be the fundamental, organizing strategy of our educational system.

Our child-focused curriculum centres around an approach that is based on each individual child’s strengths and abilities, and with a strong focus on the acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills. This is offered in a bilingual (English/Mandarin) language environment.
