With the evolving trends in early childhood education, kindergartens must stay abreast of the times, continuously innovate, and optimize to pursue excellence. Our kindergarten is committed to providing high-quality educational services. Each year, we identify key development projects based on the school’s unique context and the abilities, interests, and needs of our children, aiming to enhance teaching effectiveness and achieve sustainable improvements. This year, our key development project is “Naturally Integrating Chinese Cultural Virtues into the Curriculum to Strengthen Values Education,” as detailed below:
Naturally Integrating Chinese Cultural Virtues into the Curriculum to Strengthen Values Education
Our kindergarten has always been dedicated to fostering good character in children by embedding moral education into daily learning activities, which has been well-received by parents and the community. The Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide (2017) emphasizes that values education is a crucial component of holistic development for young children. We believe that passing on Chinese cultural virtues is not only a form of cultural inheritance but also an opportunity to help children develop positive values and attitudes, laying a strong foundation for their personal growth.
This year, we will incorporate elements of Chinese cultural virtues—such as filial piety, courtesy, integrity, and respect—into the design of our curriculum and learning activities. By using stories, games, and diverse activities, children will naturally experience and practice these virtues in meaningful contexts, internalizing them as part of their everyday lives. Through these efforts, we strive to help children establish positive values and attitudes, enabling them to grow into future citizens with strong moral character and cultural literacy.
