First, protect children's nature and create a colorful material environment.
Kindergartens should be children's homes, amusement parks and gardens. In the process of building the material environment, we should follow the principle of "building quality consciousness, building quality projects and giving the best things to children" from the perspective of children's observation, so as to create a colorful, childlike and interactive material environment for children. Children have a natural affinity for nature and are deeply interested in natural things. "Adjust your temperament" to create a beautiful courtyard landscape full of natural interest for children, which can best stimulate children's interest in taking the initiative to participate in activities. For example, outdoor simulated beaches specially designed for children, natural landscapes such as climbing walls, small ponds and wooden bridges, rockeries, windmills, waterwheels, stumps and wooden stools under the shade of trees are very popular with children. They run and jump on the soft simulated beach, or squat down to play with sand, or play a treasure hunt for cultural relics. Small stumps of different heights will become a "balance beam" that children can never tire of playing; As long as the climate permits, children will like to play with sand, play with water, balance, fish for stones and rock the waterwheel barefoot. Natural venues and equipment conform to the nature of children's play, their body movements are freely stretched in happy activities, and their inner joy is fully expressed.
Rich and interesting sports equipment is the best partner for children's outdoor free activities. With the demand of children's games, teachers actively innovate and provide children with diversified sports equipment such as walking, running, jumping, drilling and climbing, throwing and balancing, so that children can freely choose the content and methods of activities according to their own interests and wishes, and make an appointment with their partners. Relax physically and mentally, and actively participate in activities. Sufficient, safe and hygienic diversified activity equipment not only organically combines the dynamic and static activities of children, but also complements the large and small activities, providing opportunities and conditions for children to create freely. With their favorite toys, children actively explore how to play something under the inspiration of their teachers. In this active exploration activity, children get not only physical exercise, but more importantly, they can experience exploration and innovation.
Indoor space is the main place for children's activities. We design children's favorite indoor environment based on their interests and needs. The activity room of each class is divided into several parts, and the setting of the activity area embodies: the warm and lively family area of the small class, the activity area of the middle class's operation and exploration, and the activity area of the big class's discovery and creation, which makes them unique. Teachers constantly update and enrich the information in the activity area. The requirements of educational activities are organically combined with the needs of children at different stages of development, ensuring the operability, practicality and interest of regional materials. In the creation of the environment, we should pay attention to children's participation, teachers and students discuss and make together, so that children can truly become the masters of the environment. Children will feel confident when they see that their opinions are adopted and their works are used to decorate the environment. Participate in activities more actively. In the interaction with material and environment, children actively discover, create ways of playing, accumulate experience and experience success. In the activity area, a land of Xiaotian, children have exploration, feeling, communication and expression, which promotes the continuous development of subjectivity and creativity.
The colorful material environment makes every corner educating people, every wall talking, giving full play to the educational value of every inch of space, making the educational environment play an educational role of "moistening things quietly", protecting children's nature, edifying children's sentiment and promoting their active and lively development.
Second, respect children's personality and create a warm and harmonious spiritual environment.
Spiritual environment is a hidden environment, which plays an important role in the development of children, especially in the development of children's emotion, sociality and personality. Kindergarten work is a beautiful and loving cause, and whether a kindergarten can become a real paradise for children is the key. Therefore, based on the principle of people-oriented and flexible management, our garden starts with establishing good interpersonal relationships to create a relaxed, safe, harmonious and stress-free spiritual environment for children.
Unity, friendship, respect and trust, and a safe and happy living atmosphere are fertile soil for children's healthy growth and success. Therefore, the kindergarten director should be a caring person in early childhood education, care for every employee and child, set an example, infect and inspire teachers with love, and form a respectful, understanding and enterprising comrade-in-arms relationship with teachers. Form an intimate and harmonious parent-child relationship with children. Teachers and departments support each other, solve problems together, share achievements together, and form a partnership of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance. Good garden style has a subtle influence on the formation of children's civilized behavior habits.
Equal and democratic teacher-student relationship is the driving force for children's happy growth. Teachers are children's big friends and participate in children's activities as equal partners. At work, our teachers communicate with children heart to heart through kind eyes, caring greetings, gentle touch and tireless inspiration. Teachers pay attention to individual differences, respect children's self-esteem, accept children's personality and allow children to refuse to participate in group activities because of depression. Understand the child's venting behavior; Let children dare to say "no" ... In the activity, teachers sensitively capture the bright spot of children's own progress, give affirmation and encouragement in time, and let children think "I am great!" "I can do better!" I can succeed. Children feel motivated, proud and happy in such a living atmosphere, which promotes the healthy development of psychology.
Compatible, pure and friendly companionship is a greenhouse for children's healthy growth. Therefore, from the first day of children's admission, our teachers guide children to like to communicate with their peers, initially cultivate prosocial behaviors such as modesty, friendliness, helping others, cooperation and sharing, and learn civilized communication methods. They pay attention to providing opportunities for children to communicate with each other, promoting children to contact and communicate with each other in activities, and establishing good small partnerships, such as "nurturing the young" and "sharing the young". It not only creates opportunities and conditions for children to care about others and communicate with each other in a civilized way, but also encourages them to have inner happiness. Children live in a harmonious kindergarten family, and the cheerful atmosphere created by the group makes them feel infected and encouraged, warm and happy, caring and supporting, which effectively promotes the development of each child's personality.
Third, meet the needs of children's growth and fully tap and utilize community resources.
Children's growth is inseparable from the interaction between family, kindergarten and society. While creating a good garden environment, our garden pays attention to creating diversified and open activities and learning spaces for children, and makes full use of the educational resources in the three environments, so that children can develop healthily and happily under the interaction of various environments.
Go out, integrate into the big environment and get great development. Nature is a true and rich encyclopedia that children like to read most. Therefore, we organize hiking, autumn outing, beach sports meeting and other activities according to the needs of children's development. Let children go into nature, get in touch with all the creatures in nature, actively observe and explore the flowers, plants, insects, fish, wind, frost and rain that they are interested in, explore the mysteries of nature, and initially experience the challenges that nature has given to mankind. For example, picking hawthorn, pulling radish, eating farmhouse meals and so on. Give children new experiences and challenges. Brand-new activities make children excited, and the joy and pride of success are self-evident. After the activity, the children fully expressed and exchanged their views and feelings through stories, paintings, games and exhibitions. Children are full of interest and happiness in the activities of getting close to nature, and their physical quality, desire to explore and good personality acquire nature.
Society is a lively and interesting classroom where children are in close contact. "Please come in and go out" is the best way to realize the integration of educational forces inside and outside the park. We invited the children's favorite and most admired uncle of the People's Liberation Army to be a counselor outside the park, and the police uncle taught the children how to be a small traffic conductor. Invite children's favorite parents to come to the park to talk about work and teach skills; Invite children and respected community veteran cadres to tell revolutionary stories in the park. "Please come in" makes the children's activity world more open and injects vitality into their activities. Combined with relevant festivals and some social current events, let children go into factories, schools, nursing homes, social welfare homes and other places for visits, performances, social networking and other activities, so that children can understand society in contact with society, initially understand the relationship between people and society, and feel the development and changes of their hometown. Feel the happiness of loving and being loved, and inspire the love of hometown, motherland, life and life. Children will come into contact with various social phenomena when they enter the social environment. For bad phenomena, we will guide them to face them with a correct attitude, help them learn and accumulate experience in distinguishing right from wrong, and let them make a positive response initially. For example, when people find that the lawn in the community is trampled at will and some tourists litter, we always inspire them to think. Teachers guide children to think and do, give them opportunities and support, so that children can initially transform their feelings of loving society into behaviors of loving society, feel the joy of being recognized, affirmed and praised for participating in social activities, and promote the development of children's good social adaptability.
Family is the most intimate environment in children's life, and the growing environment of family plays a vital role in children's development. Therefore, we give full play to the educational role of family environment in various ways, and families will work together to promote the formation of children's good personality.
For example, through home visits, network contacts, garden newspapers, parents' schools and other forms, we will strengthen communication with parents and reach a consensus on environmental education, so as to urge parents to create a good environment for their children on the basis of their respective family conditions and let them grow up healthily and happily in a good family style. We guide parents to understand children's cognitive laws, create small spaces for children and provide rich toys. Let the children move freely and independently. Guide parents to respect their children's right to play games, take the initiative to become their partners in games, and guide parents to respect their children's right to self-development, instead of taking the place of what children can do themselves. Advise parents who want their children to relax and let their children live a free and happy life, advocate parents to "return their happy childhood to their children", assist their families to establish a "home of good friends", and support their children to go out of the family wall and carry out door-to-door activities. Expand the range of activities in children's family environment, so that children can feel the joy of being respected and trusted in a good family environment, and experience the pleasure of communicating, cooperating and sharing with others.
Education is to provide the environment. With the deepening of preschool education reform, we will continue to give the environment a new era connotation, create a happy world for children, let them wander in the golden sunshine, go to school and society, meet various challenges with a healthy attitude, constantly cultivate themselves and get happiness in life.
