IGNITING YOUR CHILD'S LOVE FOR LEARNING

This early stage in introducing children to school life helps them become confident, well-rounded individuals who love to learn. We want your child to have fun and to always be happy, safe, and secure. During Nursery and Reception at NAIS Hong Kong, we inspire them to become lifelong learners.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY

At NAIS Hong Kong, we give our students many opportunities to play and actively engage with their learning. Our littlest learners learn in a variety of ways: watching others, talking, asking questions, listening, exploring, and investigating. We make play important to the foundation of their growth, taking your child through many indoor and outdoor experiences that make their activities memorable and fun.

OUR PERSONALISED APPROACH

Our expert teachers take a personalised approach to learning at NAIS Hong Kong. A happy child leads to a confident, engaged, and successful student. That’s why we cater to each child’s learning style and recognise their interests and needs. We want our students to know they are valued and listened to, from a young age.

Our teachers help your child develop their unique personality, talents, and abilities. They shape a strong sense of self and help each child feel positive about their abilities as a learner. This helps them form good relationships and become confident in their communication.

LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY

We integrate technology into all areas of learning, using it to enhance various learning opportunities. Our students will use tech to explore, to play with what they know, or to try something new. It may help them to become involved, to concentrate, to keep trying, to collaborate, to have their own ideas, or to make connections.
