English Playgroup
Suitable for children from 6 months old.is founded and managed by a group of passionate educators and psychology professionals in Hong Kong. Specializing in the all-round development of children and teenagers, we value the unique intelligence, character, and talents of each individual, and take passion in guiding children and teenagers to help them build and pave a path to realize their potential for future success.
One key element of parenting is about school involvement. I encourage parents to visit our School and become involved in the educational process. This way, parents are fully aware of their children’s strengths/weaknesses through consultation sessions, and also are able to equip practical skills to address children’s psychological needs from sharing sessions/seminars.
Our Socratic kids will strive for excellence, not because they want to become number one, but because they can feel that doing their best simply feels good! And they will find their self-worth and value from internal sources (love & happiness) rather than from external acceptance (punishment/reward). To guarantee a Healthy educational environment is the important part of my role!
“Education is kindling of flame not the filling of a vessel” - Socrates
At Socratic, we believe that education is a starting point rather than a finishing line. As teachers, we spark and guide the experiential learning process, instead of filling the journey with information. Our teaching philosophy is to encourage and guide our students to be inquisitive, creative, and to most of all have fun! When it comes to learning, we believe “It’s about the journey, as much as the outcome!”
Most parents question “How can we get kids to do what they're told?”
I recommend parents to begin instead by asking, “What do kids need — and how can we meet those needs?”
At Socratic, we strive to cultivate the Unconditional Parenting: moving from rewards & punishments to Love & Reason! Rather than doing something “to” our children , we now can work “with” our children to achieve a win/win situation that is a result of “character” instead of “control”.
We believe every children is unique, everyone has their own strengths that needs to be utilized. We aim at finding each individual’s strength, their unique learning style, to maximize and fully realize their capacity. We customize the learning path for each children in a small class size environment.
Our consultants, teachers and counselor closely follow and monitor each child’s development progress, allowing us to tailor-make, and adjust our programs that best fit each student. Moreover, we keep a close relationship with parents and students as this is the vital factor for life long development planning.
In order to develop into a member, contributor, leader of our future society, the emphasis of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills is as important as it ever was. At Socratic Kids, we appreciate the importance of these key skill sets and value the social and emotional training as equally important as intellectual abilities.
Children have a stronger acknowledgement and are more receptive through the sense of happiness, compared to sense of difficulty. Our experience has taught us that if children can learn in a happy process, they show higher acceptance of challenges, and develop a positive motivation mindset when dealing with future difficulties.
