Tin Heng Nursery School was founded in 2002 as a non-profitable nursery school run by the Hong Kong Christian Service. The school is equipped with four classrooms, one multi-purpose activity room and one physical education room, providing a loving and enjoyable learning environment for our children.
Our school places great emphasis on our children’s development in terms of language, thinking and creative arts. In addition to designing diversified and interactive activities about language, scientific exploration and creative arts which boost our children’s active learning potential and curiosity, we also allow our children to engage in their communities through personal visits and interviews with local professionals and artists. This promotes children’s observation, thinking and creativity skills, and helps them to unleash their unlimited potential. We stress the importance of home-school cooperation and we are closely working and communicating with parents, and together we encourage our children’s learning as a way to develop their potentials.
Our principal received the “2011/2012 Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence” for recognition of our implementation of an integrated arts curriculum for early childhood and our efforts in establishing an excellent learning community. In May 2018, our school passed the EDB’s Quality Review, and won its high recognition and praise.
