About Get Ready for Kindergarten
Our ‘Get Ready for Kindergarten’ (GRK) programme aims to support and prepare your child for regular schooling through experiential learning of class routines and various different stimulating activities within a classroom setting. Our GRK students be taking part in daily phonics classes to help enrich and enhance their linguistic skills and shape their interest for language; there will also be opportunities for taking part in Putonghua classes too.
