Julia Gabriel Centre




 
EduPlay


We provide a safe and secure environment for learning and invite young children (aged 6 months to 4 years) and their parents to play!

In our EduPlay programmes, we play, we laugh, we talk, but we also learn about getting along with one another, about doing things for ourselves and others, about joining in and following the leader (the teacher). We encourage this playful approach to life and learning not only in our children, but also in their parents and in ourselves.

EduPlay
is where we introduce the importance of family support at the start of a child's journey of learning and discovery. A sense of security is primary to a child's enjoyment of discovery and learning. That is why our EduPlay programmes all require a parent to accompany the child to class. An occasional replacement of the parent by another caregiver is acceptable. By two years and five months old, a child's growing independence usually enables him/her to attend PlayNursery alone. Following PlayNursery, the child is ready for Chiltern House's preschool programme from Nursery to Kindergarten 2.
PlayNest/宝宝温馨窝 (English/ Mandarin). 6 - 18 months
Nurturing attachment and security
Babies and toddlers play and learn in rich, stimulating and nurturing environments created through specially designed studios and with developmentally appropriate toys and equipment; with a focus on hands-on meaningful interaction in a language-rich environment. Learning is facilitated through an array of activities including, music, art & craft, stories, puppets and even a healthy organic snack!
PlayClub/华语游戏俱乐部 (English/ Mandarin). 18 months - 3 ½ years
Fostering self-control and autonomy
PlayClub is a stimulating learning environment that is highly enjoyable, with a curriculum structured around letters of the alphabet and key Mandarin words, numbers, shapes and colours – all organised in interesting child-centred themes and translated through activities such as indoor and outdoor play, music, art and craft, hands-on pre-science activities, stories, speech, drama and snack.
PlayNursery/启蒙教育 (Bilingual - English/Mandarin). 2 years 5 months - 4 years
Promoting initiative and independence
PlayNursery is a warm, supportive environment that helps children make the transition to independence. PlayNursery focuses on developing the 'whole' child through the instilling of independence and social/life skills, academic skills, creativity, and motivation for lifelong learning. PlayNursery classes have a bilingual environment with a curriculum that is age-appropriate to Nursery One and is theme-based.
Bilingual PlayClub/双语游戏俱乐部 (English/Mandarin). 18 months - 3 ½ years
Incorporating the best from both English and Mandarin PlayClub
The same elements and learning focus of our twice-weekly programmes are condensed into a weekly two-hour session. The lesson format is specifically designed to create total language-immersion such that children and parents/caregivers spend one hour each in English and Mandarin at every session.
