Zebedee International Preschool and Nursery

Zebedee International Preschool and Nursery is wholly owned by English International School Limited and was established in 2008. For over ten years now we have become a significant provider of English early years education Tai Po. The school buses are for the exclusive use of zebedee students with staff aunties on board.

We are located within five miinutes walking distance of Tai Po Market train station  and main the transport interchange there is also car parking available very close to the school.

The school premises are purpose built occuplying the whole ground floor of Yat Wing House and offers spacious areas for learning. It has 8 large classrooms with a multi pupose hall and a well equipped playroom.

We believe that home-school cooperation is very important and so parents are very much part of our school.  Not only do they have regular communication with their child’s teacher but are also invited to join in any activities we hold throughout the year.

Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that inspires children to be independent learners with inquisitive minds. To gain knowledge and develop skills at their own pace with the confidence and resilience they need to make a positive contribution to our world.

Our Values

• We provide a well-defined nurturing environment.
• We encourage cooperation and respect amongst all stakeholders.
• We affirm differences in culture and points of view positively.
• We aspire to provide the very best in early years education.
• We promote harmony and peace throughout the school

Our teaching staff are mostly employed from around the world and have the expertise and qualifications to deliver an early years curriculum with a true international spirit of inquiry. The international early education culture is quite different to what you will find locally with fewer restrictions or heavy expectation on compliance and academia.

Teachers will encourage children to be brave and try new experiences and by letting them express themselves in their own way. The focus of observations is not simply for academic purposes but looking at the development of the whole child through their learning characteristics. Teachers constantly encourge children to make their own choices, share opinions through talk or other media and be responsible. While we respect the Cantonese as the home language English is the medium of instruction and is mostly acquired through simply by being around English speakers. So its inevitable that while all this learning is taking place the children’s English language skills will start to emerge and will be proficient by the time they reach K3.
