Curriculum
1. Language and Cultural Immersion
Each child benefits from immersive exposure to both Chinese and English/French languages, promoting bilingual or trilingual proficiency. Classes include daily interactions with native-speaking teachers, cultural celebrations, and age-appropriate literary experiences that deepen children’s linguistic abilities and cultural awareness.
2. Integrated Multicultural Learning
-
- Core Academics: Children develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and scientific exploration. Hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning methods encourage children to ask questions, think critically, and build knowledge through real-world connections.
- Social-Emotional Development: We prioritize social skills and emotional awareness, teaching children to express themselves with empathy and respect. Teachers guide students through social interactions and self-awareness activities that build a positive sense of identity and belonging.
- Arts and Music: Music, dance, and visual arts are integral to our curriculum. Through creative expression, children explore global art forms and connect with cultural heritage, fostering their imaginative capacities and appreciation for diverse artistic traditions.
3. STEM Integration
Our preschool STEM program provides a child-friendly introduction to science, technology, engineering, and math. Activities include building projects, nature exploration, and basic coding exercises that spark curiosity, enhance problem-solving skills, and encourage teamwork.
4. Health and Physical Development
Physical activity is a daily priority. Our curriculum includes guided play, motor skills activities, and yoga, supporting children’s physical wellness and coordination while instilling the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
5. Environmental Awareness
Melody Preschool incorporates environmental education to cultivate a sense of responsibility toward the planet. Projects on nature, recycling, and sustainable practices encourage children to become environmentally conscious citizens from a young age.
With its foundation rooted in both Chinese and Western educational principles, Melody Preschool provides a unique, globally inspired environment where children develop into confident, curious, and culturally aware individuals. The combined expertise of the International and French departments creates an enriching learning experience that prepares children for success in a multicultural world.
