In the 2025-2026 'CoolPlay' teacher training, over 500 seed teachers realized that our mission isn't about guiding children to discover things, but about truly learning to discover the children themselves.

CoolPlay Ambassadors Scheme

Continuing with the "child-centered" philosophy, Phase II of the project provides continuous, structured, and comprehensive teaching support and resources to kindergarten teachers and parents in seven grassroots communities. Together, we aim to build a community that encourages young children to explore, sparking their curiosity and interest in learning, thereby cultivating key 21st-century skills such as creativity, communication, and collaboration.

​

We cordially invite your school to self-recommend or nominate colleagues to join the "Exploratory Learning" Education Ambassador Scheme. Join us to share practical highlights and case studies from front-line teaching or administrative management, and engage in mutual learning and exchange with fellow educators.

School JumpStarter

The School JumpStarter is majorly in forms of a teacher guide. Each teacher guide consists of the following sections: General Information, Background Information of Big Idea, Big Idea Web, Learning Experiences, Extension and Suggested Books and Resources. Each design is based on a big idea that is developmentally appropriate for young children to explore in an in-depth way. It aims to provide teachers with ideas and inspiration that can be incorporated into school’s current curriculum by using an exploratory lens.
