聖若瑟國際托兒所可為最多240名一至三歲兒童提供全日托或臨時暫托服務，為幼兒建設安全舒適的環境，按幼兒成長階段與個人需要，提供適切保育照顧及培育活動，促進幼兒全面發展。所長Nair Cordoso向代表們介紹了各項設施，其後亦說明了托兒所的教學理念和採用的主題式學習教學法，以及受意大利瑞吉歐地區的學前教育模式啟發而創設的藝術工作坊，以進一步發展兒童的精細肌肉技能、創造力、批判性思維和感官探索。
The Nursery provides early education and child care services to up to 240 children of 1 to 3 years old through its full-day care or temporary care schemes, striving to provide a safe, nuturing and stimulating environment that offers the developmental needs for each child, while delivering a high quality, professional, convenient infant and toddler care, ensuring a play-based, multicultural and hands-on learning approach. The Director Ms. Cordoso offered the members of the task force a walk-through of the facilities, followed by the introduction of the theme-based approach curriculum and padagogy, along with the explanation of the atelier inspired by Reggio Emilia approach (student self-guided exploration originated in the Reggio Emilia region of Italy) to further develop children's fine motor skills, creativity, critical thinking and sensory exploration.
