Hillskindy is designed to help each child reach his/her full potential in an environment that is challenging, secure and nurturing. This is an exciting entry into a child's formal education and it is our hope that it will be a very positive beginning!
澳宝幼儿园计划旨在帮助每一位儿童在环境中挑战自己的潜能，安全和培养。这是对一个孩子的正规教育令人兴奋的项目，我们希望这将是一个非常积极的开始！

 
We believe that young children learn through active, purposeful interaction with a wide variety of learning materials and activities which develop the growth of the whole child. Because young children are concrete learners, they need to be able to learn by using all of their senses and by trying things out on their own.
我们相信小朋友们在一系列的素材和活动中积极的互动，更有助于他们的全面发展。

Teachers plan engaging activities that meet our curricular requirements as well as children's individual needs. Children develop at their own pace, with varying strengths, needs and interests, so implementation of the curriculum is fluid and flexible to support every learner. Teachers observe and assess children's development daily. While whole group instruction is important, especially for building community, the early childhood teacher knows that young children learn best in small groups with lots of one-on-one support. That is why you will see small groups of children working together for a large part of our day. Through their play, children learn skills and knowledge, refine their communication, and learn the rules and norms of social interaction.
老师们会根据课程和小朋友的需要参与活动中，满足我们的课程要求，以及儿童的个别需要。所以制定课程流动的，灵活可以使每个小朋友都能参与。使教师观察和评估儿童的发展每天。而整个团体的重要指示，特别是对建立社区，幼儿教师都知道，儿童学习最好能与一小群进行一对一。这就是为什么你会看到工作了一天的大部分儿童聚集在一起的小团体。通过让他们玩，他们学习技能和知识，改进他们的沟通和学习和社会交往。

Kindergarten children are building crucial foundational skills in all areas, social/emotional, language and communication, motor control, citizenship, creative expression and of course academic skills and knowledge. In kindergarten you will see children refining and strengthening their muscles in many ways; painting, building, drawing, working play dough, and writing. You will see children building solid math foundations by manipulating concrete materials, (blocks, Lego, pattern blocks, counters), and by playing guided math games. You will see developing artists painting and doing craft projects. Scientists explore artifacts or do experiments in small groups. Children learn that they can be writers as we look at authors and text, exploring the many ways to communicate through print. Children learn beginning reading skills through a wide variety of daily, guided experiences with print, developing strategies to figure out text and experiences with outstanding children's literature. Through participation in our study projects, children learn how to become inquirers as they plan, research, problem solve, document and share their learning with others. They learn that the facts and skills they acquire are connected across the curriculum and to their own world, because we study things that are relevant to the world of young children. They also learn about the importance of teamwork and that each child brings something of value to the team.
幼儿园儿童涉及到个领域的培养，社会/情感，语言和沟通，肌肉控制，公民，创意表达，当然学术技能和知识，基本技能的关键。在幼儿园你会看到...孩子在许多方面得到完善和加强，肌肉，绘画，建筑，绘画，工作，和写作。通过玩数学游戏，小朋友可以建设操纵混凝土材料坚实的数学基础（块，乐高，色块，计数器），通过玩数学游戏，小朋友可以建设操纵混凝土材料坚实的数学基础（块，乐高，色块，计数器），小朋友的绘画和做工艺的项目。科学家探索工件或做小群试验。儿童通过看书的学习，他们也可以成为作家，探索多种方式的通讯方式，打印。儿童学习开始读通过每天的印刷经验，学习各种技能，了解优秀的儿童文学的文本和经验。通过参与研究项目，孩子学习如何研究，如何安排计划，解决问题，与他人分享文件等。因为我们研究的事情是有关青少年儿童成长的世界，所以让他们知道所了解所学到的事实和技能，掌握各个学科和认知他们自己的世界， 同样，要让他们意识到团队合作的重要性，每个小朋友的付出都为团队得到价值。

Building a close community is important to the success of any classroom. We learn and practice our skills every day as we learn what it means to be a productive and contributing citizen of a community. We share our ideas, our feelings and our stories. We learn to solve problems proactively and we support each other day to day to develop self-discipline and cooperation.
建立一个密切的团体对于任何课堂的成功是十分重要的。我们学习和实践技能，我们每天都在学习意味着什么是生产力和有贡献的社会公民。我们分享我们的想法，我们的感情和我们的故事。我们学习和主动解决问题，我们相互支持，每天制定自律和协作能力。

Families are a very important part of our community and we highly value the foundations families build for children's learning at home and at school. There are many ways for families to be involved in the school experience, from PTO participation to regular classroom volunteering! Family support is essential to a child's learning!
