香港幼稚園的現況

幼稚園的現況

香港的幼稚園全屬私營機構，由志願團體或私人開辦，分非牟利幼稚園及私立獨立幼稚園兩類。幼稚園須根據教育條例註冊。教育局的督學經常視察各幼稚園，並在課程、教學方法和行政方面，向校長和教師提供意見。教育統籌局與社會福利署編訂的《幼稚園辦學手冊》，為有意辦學者提供開辦幼稚園所須遵守的法規及建議。幼稚園在規模上有頗大的差異，有些幼稚園只有兩、三間課室，有些卻有十多間。大部分的幼稚園都能配合兒童的生活經驗和興趣，營造具啟發性的學習環境，在課室內設置「圖書角」、「數學角」、「自然角」、「美勞角」、「音樂角」和「家庭角」，輔以有關的教具，誘導兒童自發地學習。
六歲以下在本港幼稚園或幼稚園暨幼兒中心就讀的兒童，不論任何國籍，祇要符合申請資格，可透過幼稚園及幼兒中心學費減免計劃申請學費資助，詳情可參考學生資助辦事處網頁：http://www.sfaa.gov.hk/

2. Present Situation of Kindergartens

  All kindergartens in Hong Kong are privately run and they can be categorised as non-profit-making (NPM) kindergartens (KGs) and private independent (PI) KGs depending on their sponsoring organisations which can be either voluntary agencies or private enterprises.              

  Kindergartens vary a lot in their scale of operation and the number of classrooms can range    from two to over ten. Most of them however can create a stimulating learning environment that caters for  children’s life experience and interests, by setting up different activity centres. For instance, Reading Corner, Mathematics Corner, Nature Corner, Art and Crafts Corner, Music Corner, Home Corner etc. These activity centres are all well equipped with teaching aids to facilitate self-learning.
