Music therapist from Humansa, Carol Cheung, shared creative techniques to ease children’s separation anxiety at a recent parent workshop. She recommended composing and singing personalised songs with lyrics reflecting parents’ plans to temporarily leave, to help children understand goodbyes don’t have to be unpleasant.

A VPP alumnus and current VEO parent also joined to share her experiences helping her child adjust to kindergarten. Other parents openly discussed their own challenges and were reassured effective solutions exist.

Stay tuned for more insightful workshops ahead!

In our April theme, “People We See in Our World,” our PN/K1 Preparation class students, along with their parents, embarked on a fun trip to the dentist clinic!

Dressed in mini-white coats, our curious learners wanted to learn all about what happens at the dentist workplace! Not only did they tour around the clinic to take a look at the equipment and tools, but they also received brief dental check-ups from the skilled professionals and learned proper tooth brushing, while parents received dental care tips tailored for young children!

Such immersive, real-life experiences are invaluable for children’s development, shaping their understanding of health and wellbeing from an early age. Join us for more parent-child learning experiences in the future!

Under our April monthly theme “People We See in Our World”, an exclusive parent-child workshop was held at an ophthalmic clinic as an extended activity for our PN/K1 Preparation class students to explore the world of healthcare professionals.

Surrounded by a wide range of tools and equipment, our little learners observed doctors in their real-life workplaces, received a brief eye check by the professionals, and finally role-played as doctors using the equipment! Not only did the children have a blast, parents also received expert tips on ocular care for their children.

We are thrilled to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from our parents! It was a unique learning experience for our little learners, with a perfect blend of fun and knowledge and a highlight of the importance of healthy eyes.

Play is not just about having fun and playing games! Dr. Sarah Tsui, a Specialist in Paediatrics, says “learning through play” boosts cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. In our expert parenting talk, she offered tips on the right kinds of activities and toys/tools for building skills in steps for your child’s development.

Stay tuned with our social media for various expert insights and interviews!

Crossing the #FinishLine! Young athletes from Victoria Playpark participated in VEO Parent-Child Sports Fun Day to strengthen physical and mental health through exercise! They were so excited running, jumping, and laughing with such enthusiasm!

We were excited to host Victoria Educational Organisation (VEO) Campus Tours exclusive for current Victoria Playpark (VPP) parents who applied to VEO’s Nursery (K1) or Pre-Nursery (PN) Classes for Academic Year 2024/25. The tours were scheduled to take place in mid October to early December 2023 and it was a wonderful opportunity for parents to meet the Principal and teachers at their first choice campus to get a glimpse of the campus environment , and to know about VEO’s curriculum and VEO graduates’ transitions to elite primary schools.
