Integrated Programme (IP) in Kindergarten-cum-Child Care Centre

Children with special needs are referred to our school through the rehabilitation services system of the Social Welfare Department (SWD). Upon arrival, they are assessed by teachers who are trained in special education. Tailored training and care are provided within the school setting, allowing these children to learn and grow with their peers. The goal is to ensure that each child receives full development in physical, cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and self-care aspects. Each child identified with special needs is offered various instructions, including individual counseling, small group counseling, and class-based learning. Teachings are performed in adaptation to individual differences and abilities of the children, facilitating their integration into daily life and the learning environment.
