 In
Hong Kong, “Preschool - Learn to Fly” is the only program specially
designed for preschool children. We treasure the opportunity of producing
it and invited 9 experts from professional fields of childcare and child
education as program advisors. We studied different educations models such
as the Maria Montessori, the Reggio Emilia, and other project approach methods
in order to decide a format that would be helpful and interesting to our
target audience.
We learnt from experience
and studies that children like watching children when they keep an eye on
TV. We chose six child artists through an open recruitment and scanned 1,800
child candidates. This is important because the child artists would be the
live model for children audience.
We believed children love
stories and music. For music we composed new songs and designed movements
for classical music. For stories, we created a happy and intimate atmosphere
for story time. And we invited different characters, say, uncle, mother,
father, brother, sister and even the child, to tell stories. With all these
set up, we hope that children would enjoy the accompanying and the telling
of stories.
It is very encouraging
that we won one of the prizes from Japan Prize, for the program with heart
and blood we put in, is recognized as a fine and effective one. Thank you
once again. |
