Kindergarten is a child’s first step into education. On their first day they will inevitable feel anxious and confused as everything is strange and new. Therefore, it is important to make them feel that school is a place to discover fun, and explore new and exciting things. We give students ‘problems’ to solve through games and stories to prompt them to ‘explore’. And, though the accumulated ‘experience’ they have gained, we aim to ignite their initiative to learn and build a fun learning atmosphere at school.
As we enter an age of technology and the internet, teachers have to learn how to teach online whilst maintaining high levels of interactivity, especially during the pandemic. These approaches are important in order to allow students to continue to learn and grow. Our school actively incorporates STEM education into our early childhood education curriculum. We include topics to explain what STEM means (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and create lessons to enhance children’s interest in the subject. While we build their curiosity towards this subject, we also hope to integrate it into their lives. Thus, we have established the Home-School-Community Network to better promote the collaboration between the Home, the School, and the Community in nurturing students’ grasp on the concept of STEM.
Children are like seeds that require meticulous care from a gardener, from watering them with love and keeping the soil fertile. So that in time they will grow up to be strong, healthy seedlings that will one-day bloom and bear fruit. With this in mind, our school incorporates values and moral education into different portions of our curriculum. Our aim to lay down a foundation of life-long learning and holistic development, so that our students can grow up to live a beautiful, long life.
I hope every student will have a happy year of learning and good health!
May we, the Principal, teachers, and parents walk hand in hand to work tirelessly for our future scientists.
