SAGARMATHA KINDERGARTEN

Sagarmatha Kindergarten was established in 2000 with a clear aim to provide quality education to children. English and Cantonese are the primary medium of instruction, since we are mindful to the need for children to learn the local culture and language in order to seamlessly integrate within the Hong Kong society at large. Thus, we have developed a focused, robust, and evolving theme that caters to the Chinese culture.

Our curricula fit not only into the local stream but pairs well with the international teaching structure, where the aim lies to enable children to reach their full potential through social and cultural integration, no matter their circumstances, and to broaden and refine children's verbal and nonverbal communication skills. AIMS: *Encourage and help children to instill a positive attitude towards the acquisition of knowledge and understanding their world. *Assist children to develop their concentration power and observational analytical, reasoning and problem-solving skills. *Laying a good foundation of basic numeral knowledge. *Support and facilitate children's efforts to identify and express their thoughts and emotions linguistically. We will follow the “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide” (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.

Confidence, self-control, self-trust, determination, perseverance are attributes that we aim to instill in all our children for an enjoyable and productive future. These are traits that need nurturing with care, guidance, and loving encouragement, not repetition. We are mindful of this and implement it in every interaction and activity. Therefore, we offer a diverse and dynamic program that focuses on developing physical, social, emotional and intellectual skills of children.
