Curriculum Overview Curriculum Overview Our preschool programme is set out to develop the whole child; intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. Children will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and positive attitudes towards life and learning, as well as begin to develop their abilities and talents in a wide range of areas. We provide a bilingual programme whereby children will be immersed in a Chinese and English language environment throughout the day.
