1, school qualifications: See if this kindergarten has school qualifications. If it is a public or large-scale private kindergarten, there is basically no need to worry about these qualifications.
2. Teaching environment. Looking at the teaching environment of a kindergarten, we can see whether their outdoor activity venue is spacious, whether there are enough large-scale activity facilities in the venue, and whether the indoor class environment is large enough; Whether the facilities related to life and teaching in kindergarten are complete, such as reading room, science room, art room and multi-functional activities. These aspects can more or less show that kindergarten operators attach importance to children and education.
3. Teaching philosophy and curriculum; Generally, when we visit the kindergarten, the teacher will introduce the educational concept adopted by the kindergarten to us in detail. We can judge for ourselves whether we agree with their educational ideas. As for their application in practical teaching, we can carefully observe their educational environment when visiting kindergartens, see if there are any photos and recorded words of children participating in the creation and learning process on the wall, and see if there are any heavy traces of adults in children's works or if they are made by children themselves. You can also observe the schedule arranged by each class to see if you pay more attention to the teacher's teaching or the children's independent exploration.
4. Teacher-student ratio. According to the requirements of the government, the class size of public kindergartens is generally controlled at about 20-25 students in small classes, 25-30 students in middle classes and 30-35 students in large classes. Each class should be equipped with at least 2 teachers, 1 nurse. There are enough teachers, not too many children in the class, to ensure that teachers take care of children and fully interact with them. Moreover, the fees of private kindergartens are relatively high, and the number of students in each class is relatively small, like the Olympic hills in Shantou. Jinping district Longteng Jiayuan Kindergarten, their teacher-student ratio is 1:6, which is an excellent teacher configuration.
5. Health and safety. The safety of kindergartens can't be ignored. You can generally look at the sanitation of the park. You can see whether the windows above the first floor have protective fences, whether the facilities in the park are too old, and whether the access control system and monitoring system are perfect. You can also watch the process of children taking meals, eating and cleaning up tableware at the scene during the children's meal time. If conditions permit, you can also visit some of their kitchens to see their kitchen safety and hygiene management. At the same time, I also asked the teacher some detailed questions, such as whether the equipment safety inspection and disinfection work are carried out regularly in the park.
6. Do children like it or not? When choosing a kindergarten, children's feelings should not be ignored. Respect children's preferences, take them to the scene to feel and see if they like the kindergarten environment. Or go directly to the child on the kindergarten open day and ask him if he likes this teacher.
7. The director's management thought and professional level. If you can communicate with the director, is the director clear about the educational concept of the kindergarten, has a clear goal for the development of the kindergarten, has a clear understanding of early childhood education, and has a correct view of education, children and values? The director of the park has high water quality and high level of running the park. Parents can rest assured that your concerns are also taken seriously by the director in the process of running the park. She will be more comprehensive than you think. She thinks of every parent's idea, because her job is to study the development of kindergarten and parents' satisfaction with kindergarten.
In short, kindergarten is the first stop for children to enter the collective and start their study and life, so choosing a kindergarten for children must be investigated from multiple angles and in all directions, and every element should be grasped as well as possible. Of course, children's preferences can not be ignored, and parents must also pay attention to their choices and opinions, which will also help to improve their interest and make their future lives more motivated!
