Building upon our playgroup and pre-nursery programmes, our nurseries and kindergartens support the children’s learning journey by adopting
         the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). To further enhance the effects of the PYP, we have incorporated two additional programmes from the
         USA: Maker-Centered learning (MCL) with Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Teachers College Reading and
         Writing Project (TCRWP) from Columbia University. See Table 2 for the key objectives and their relationships with the three action verbs (learn,
         love and share).

         我們的幼兒園及幼稚園課程延續了親子遊戲班和小組班的課程重點,並採用了 IB 國際文憑組織(小學項目)課程 (PYP) 來啟發幼兒的探究式學習。
         為進一步提升幼兒的學習效能,我們還從美國引入了兩項課程:哈佛大學教育研究院 Project Zero 團隊的「創客教育」課程(MCL)和哥倫比亞大
         學教師學院讀寫計劃(TCRWP),以促進幼兒的全人發展(表二顯示幼兒園及幼稚園課程目標與學習、關愛和分享之關係)。
