We attach great importance to home-school cooperation.
We foster close connections and mutual exchanges with parents through various channels, including face-to-face, small group, or phone meetings before and after school,
as well as open classes, parents’ day, parent volunteers, parent educational activities, school news, and bulletins.
Through these activities, parents can keep abreast of the latest school development and have a better understanding of child growth status and developmental needs in diverse aspects.
Parent-Child Play Workshops
Play is an integral part of a child’s life, accompanying them as they grow and laying a solid foundation for the development of their character, intelligence, physical fitness, atistic sense, sentiments, and social skills. In light of this, our kindergarten has invited registered social workers from ELCHK, Wong Choi Ming Joyful Family Nurturing Centre to conduct three workshops for parent to explore the importance of “play” for children’s growth and development. In the workshops, parents were also able to increase their understanding of child-rearing methods through group discussions and case studies. They also leant to apply parent-child play counselling counselling techniques in daily life.
Parent-Child free play Workshops
“Free play” is a behavioral activity induced by the intrinsic motivation of young children, focusing on their autonomy, free will, and to develop play that is not constrained by adults. Parents play an important role during their children’s playtime. In light of this, our centre invited play instructors from Playright Children’s Play Association to hold a lecture and workshop for parents, equipping them with different knowledge and skills to play games with their children at home. During the workshop, parents learned about the essence of play, viewed play from the “child’s perspective,” and acquired techniques for parent-child games as they experienced the joy of free play in person.
Positive Education Workshops
Positive education enables children to live a happy, confident and fulfilling childhood, promotes positive interpersonal relationships, maintains positive emotions and lays the foundation for a fruitful life. In view of this, we invited a psychologist from Heep Hong Society to our school to organize four workshops for parents to explore the positive parenting model and strategies. During the workshops, parents shared their experiences in parenting with each other and learned strategies on how to handle their children’s behavioral problems in a positive way.
