Their programme is very wonderfully tailored for young children.

Philosophy Today’s society has gone through huge changes. Even though there is material comfort, parents are spending less time at home due to long working hours. On top of that, many children are brought up by maids or single parents, often leading to the neglect of children’s emotional, mental and physical needs. The burden on parents is increased due to the fast pace of society and the shift to values that emphasise individualism, freedom and human rights. With all these changes surrounding our children, subconsciously affecting them on a daily basis from young, how can we ensure that our children grow up healthily? This is a tough question that today’s early childhood educators have to face.

Other than the usual teaching of knowledge, reading and writing skills, intellectual skills and art, our organisation strongly feels that it is very important to cultivate the heart and mind of the children from as early as in the preschool stage, instilling in them values like compassion, humility, self-respect, compassion and filial piety. With these values, the children will learn to be well mannered and respect elders, to take initiative and be self-motivated as well as to be patient and persevere. These will provide them with a strong foundation to face the adversities, hardships and challenges of life in the future.

Our philosophy is not just a theory anymore, but already materialised by our many years of practice and is greatly welcomed by many parents.

「性情教育」针对儿童成长环境在今天社会的巨大改变：物质充裕，但父母在家时间减少，许多孩子由女佣带大，单亲家庭增加，令孩子幼年成长得不到全面关注，加上社会节奏越来越快，父母生活压力沉重，社会流行价值观急速转换，强调个性、强调自由、强调人权，不良信息充斥…。这些围绕着儿童周边成长环境的改变，耳濡目染，正自小就无形中影响着儿童的健康成长。如何面对？在今天，是从事幼儿教育的人，不能回避的问题。

following quotes extracted from 《人生爱语》黎斯华博士著：

“Xingqing Education will prepare your children to become dignified and well-cultured people. This includes behaving in an upright manner by standing straight, sitting upright and walking steadily. It also includes observing social etiquette like giving way to elders, showing respect to others and paying attention when talking to people.”

“「性情教育」让孩子做一个堂堂正正、有教养的人：人要端正——站得直、坐得正、行得稳；人要守礼——礼让长辈、平视别人、说话要集中精神。”
