Family and School Collaboration

【The Family Ministry Committee】

        The philosophy of the Peace Evangelical Center Kindergarten (Ngau Tau Kok) is to provide Christian values-based quality early childhood education and to facilitate the overall growth of children. To achieve the mentioned goal, we need a closed cooperation between parents and the school. Therefore, in addition to providing quality early childhood education, the kindergarten has established a Family Ministry Department in partnership with Ngau Tau Kok Peace Evangelical Centre. We aim to understand more about the needs of families and provide support to parents about how to educate their children. On Thursday mornings and afternoons, we hold “Parent Academy”. In order to increase our contact with parents, we talk to and visit parents during school time to establish parent-school relationships, and also to provide spiritual follow-up and care. On Wednesday mornings, we have “JOY groups” for parents. We also provide individual care, counselling and referral services on a case-by-case basis.

          In response to the difficulties of some parents in teaching English to their children, the Family Ministry Department has arranged “Intensive English training classes” for children on weekdays and Saturdays. Parents are encouraged to bring along their children to “children Sunday School” so that they are able to have a chance to understand the love of Jesus, and to enhance their social and communication skills. When our students graduate, we encourage them to take part in the “JC Little Leader Training Program” and the “Teens Development Program”. These programs provide children with a sustained care on their work, character and spirit.
