St. Hilarys

 

School . Community 

This Bilingual (English & Putonghua) School-based program is designed to help babies and toddlers develop their school readiness before joining nursery school & kindergarten. In our well-facilitated school setting, young children will explore and discover new skills and knowledge as a member of St. Hilary’s schools.  

Interactive

 

Social Interaction . Bonding 

This program emphasizes different forms of social interaction. We believe positive contact with different individuals is essential for babies and toddlers’ healthy growth and development. In our classes, teachers facilitate- 

  • Fun activities for parents/carers and children to learn together, 
  • Opportunities for young children to interact with each other; and  
  • The bonding between our school and the families.   

Educational

 

Learning through Play . Structural Curriculum 

This program is divided into three age groups-  

  • Baby SHInE (6 to 11 months old) 
  • Little Tot SHInE (12 – 17 months old) 
  • Toddler SHInE (18 – 30 months old) 

Each group provides a set of goals for babies and toddlers to achieve through fun activities and play experiences as a gradual and continuous process of holistic development. 

 

We value early learning experience. In this program, teachers will take a systematic record of children’s performances, and prepare an end of term report for children who finish the whole term.
