First of all, congratulations to NMS Lutheran Kindergarten’ 50th anniversary. We believe that it is really a great milestone to school. For our family, 2020/21 is an amazing and challenging year period. Our son, Dominic, has started his first year of kindergarten life. We still remember the first day he arrived the classroom of JOY. He cried so loud and made us from excitement to anxiety. The first thing that came into our mind was, “How long will Dominic get used to his K1 life?” Interestingly, after two days, Dominic happily chose his colorful uniform for school and walked into the classroom by himself. He always showed smile when we picked him up. He sang the songs learnt from school and shared with us his joyful conversation with teachers.
Throughout the pandemic year, we can feel the love, passion, support, and patience of all teachers and staffs in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten, especially Ms. Toby Tsui and Ms. Jess Leung (Class teachers of Joy). They not only teach students on academic knowledge but also inspire them with creative ideas as well as guide them with the right attitudes to difficulties. Every day, they shared with us of what Dominic behaved and his emotion in school. Through this treasurable and informative after-school conversation and experience sharing, we really learned how to handle the needs and the emotion of Dominic. We also learned how to build up self-confidence of Dominic. Now is almost the end of the school year, we found that Dominic has really improved obviously. He becomes more independent in daily life activities. He is also able to express and handle his emotion much better.
In fact, NMS Lutheran Kindergarten is very supportive and helpful to families like us since both of us are working parents. It is a great blessing that my son can study in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten, and we are very thankful to all in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten.
“It’s been another wonderful year for Hera staying at NMS Kindergarten for K2.
It brings me lots of joy to watching her growing up with caring teachers and having good friendship with classmates. She enjoys learning new things, care for outdoors exploring and every day comes home with big smiles on her face after school.
We are grateful to see her grow up with confidence and being independent. She always offer helping hand to the family and show us what she learned from the school. She is establishing her own unique character meantime i notice her being very disciplined, thoughtful and attentive. She adores class teachers and we thankful that Ms. Fayfay and Ms. Cassie have been giving her so much encouragement, nurturing her with patience and love. We are all excited to make her next year more special and memorable.”
Our Happy days at NMS
My boy joined NMS Kindergarten in 2019. We originally had offers from other nearby kindergartens. But after hearing great reviews of NMS and going through the friendly interview process, we decided this is the school for our boy. And we are happy we made the right choice!Back then, my boy was very timid and had serious separation anxiety. We joined the transition class before K1 started. I remember vividly that he cried throughout the 9 classes out of the 10 classes. I was an anxious mom too. I waited outside during his transition classes.
During that time, I felt the genuine love and care from all teachers and staff in NMS. Teachers would brief me about my boy’s situation in the classroom. They discussed with me about my concerns. Even the teacher from the next class spent long time talking to me, understanding my boy’s situation. The auntie helpers also put me at ease, telling me my boy was fine I class. I was touched by their kindness and genuine care for my boy.My boy started K1, still anxious and uneasy but he gradually adapted to school life. There is a personal touch in NMS which I valued highly. The headmaster, teachers and auntie helpers would greet all kids by their names. My boy would come back telling me which auntie helper helped him going to toilet.
Then there come social chaos and Covid-19. Schools were suspended. NMS produced frequent and thoughtful teaching videos which my boy enjoyed watching. There were also zoom sessions so that kids could meet their teachers and classmates online. The school also spent much effort in organizing other activities online, like the Chinese New Year celebration. During this home-bound period, these activities mean a lot to the kids.
NMS also produced regular learning reports. From the reports, I can see why my boy enjoys his school life. There are always interesting activities through which the kids learn. In the past month, my boy has been humming an Environmental Protection song and has been very conscious in this topic. I can see they have been learning conservation concepts from making recycled paper, from watching a play about protecting the ocean, etc. It is real learning through activities.
Thanks to the love and care from all teachers and staff, my boy grew from a timid introvert, to one who loves going to school and loves sharing his stories and experiences. It is the school’s 50th anniversary this year. I am sure NMS will continue to grow and nurture more and more kids in the years to come.
