About Us

TWGHs Cheung Wah Day Nursery was set up in December 1986. With a generous donation from Ms. Wong Kar Gee (Former Director of Tung Wah) in 1995, the Day Nursery was renamed as TWGHs Hung Wong Kar Gee Day Nursery. The School aims to provide child care and educational services in the New Territories. With the implementation of harmonisation of pre-primary services, it has been registered under both Child-Care Services Ordinance and Education Ordinance as Child Care Centre cum Kindergarten, with effect from 1 September 2005 and renamed as TWGHs Hung Wong Kar Gee Nursery School.

To achieve early intervention, the Integrated Programme (IP) has commenced operation to provide developmental assessment, intensive training and care to mildly disabled children aged 2-6 in order to better prepared them for the mainstream education in the future. A newsletter on parental education has been regular issued.

"Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Education" (DAP), a theoretical framework from National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has been adopted to promotes excellence in early childhood education by providing a framework for best practice. DAP emphasize cultural diversity, parent as a partner and to cater for children's needs that appropriate to age, culture and individual difference children.

Upon training by Dr. Sylvia C. Chard, the Project Approach has been used to provide a foundation to design and implement inquiry-based project activities with children.

The school participated in a Quality Education Fund (QEF) on emotional education and established a framework of emotion-centred curriculum which cover the daily routines, activities and adult-child interaction in nursery school. Later 2000, "Growing with Self-Esteem - A Parent Education Project" teaching kit was launched, for children on building up self-esteem with follow up activities for parents to consolidate what their children have learnt.

The School began implementing Shared Book Approach for integrated teaching and learning. The School had also joined the scheme on 'Early Language and Literacy Development in Chinese and English Language of Young Children' provided by the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR). The Scheme provides professional training to build the language capacity of teachers so as to enhance the teaching effectiveness and enrich their experience in developing the school curriculum for children's all-round development in a holistic manner.

Upon the importance of perceptual motor during early childhood, the School started to adopt sensory exploration and play based strategies, focus on developing 'Sensory Perceptual Motor Training - Parent Child Home Activity'. Through the activities, children can explore the surrounding environment using five senses to strengthen their body coordination and establish a good foundation for their physical development. After the adoption over the last 10 years, 'Sensory Perceptual Motor Training - Parent Child Home Activity' a 5-book series has been launched in 2015, with more than 300 parent-child home activities, covering the children's holistic development.

The School has started to use the international tools, namely Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale -  Revised (ECERS-R) and Early Childhood Environmental Rating scale - Extended (ECERS-E) to measure and adjust the school resources in order to provide an environment that is conducive for children to learning.

With diverse measures including social worker services has been started to support the family in need and to learn early identification , referral counseling, parent education, workshops, parent-child activities, programmes on serve management and to foster family harmony.

The School has been a school partner of the On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services - Sunshine Kids has commenced in Jan 2016 with aims to provide on-site early intervention for children aged 2-6 with special needs and to enhance the learning and development of these children. The intervention services are mainly conducted on-site at nursery schools by a stationing special early childhood practitioners such that children learn in their most familiar environment. This facilitates children to generalize their learning in their daily livings. The service has become regularized in October 2018.

The school was funded from the “Jockey Club Digital Capacity Building For Kindergarten Project” to purchase electronic devices such as digital equipment and computer software, and to enhance our digital capacity.
We make better use of these electronic devices in classes to strengthen children’s learning motivation and catering for learner diversity.

We are grateful to be invited by EDB to participate in the “Effective Use of Educational Multimedia Resources to Enhance Effectiveness of Learning and Teaching Project”. The EDB Educational Multimedia provided resources based on the school curriculum and students’ learning needs, to facilitate the design of learning and teaching activities and to enrich students' learning experience. The teachers who were involved in the project were honoured to participate in the sharing session at the Nurturing Children's Curiosity and Moral Development through Educational Multimedia Resources Webinar.
