1, to meet the age characteristics of children.
Any educational and teaching activities need to consider the physical and psychological characteristics of the educational object. Judging from the development of characteristic courses in most kindergartens at present, there is a common misunderstanding that artistic expertise or advanced education is characteristic courses. The swimming characteristic course in our garden takes the children's health as the starting point, which not only ensures the children's happiness, but also shapes healthy and strong individuals. Early swimming training will cultivate children's self-esteem, self-confidence and independence, and "get rid of" the gorgeous and exaggerated shackles, so that children can really learn and enjoy it.
2. We should handle the relationship between characteristic education and basic education.
No matter how valuable the characteristic curriculum items are, the first thing that kindergartens should consider and implement is all-round development education. Kindergarten has its own characteristics in order to increase its vitality, so the swimming course in our garden does not occupy children's rest and activity time, but is arranged as a health course in a week's activities. By the way, since it is a field activity, I will ask our coach to analyze and prepare the course before training the children, just like our kindergarten teachers. Therefore, after listening to my advice, the coach will first set the annual general goal for children of different ages according to my requirements. For example, the goal of small class is to overcome the fear of water, like to play and play games in the water. The middle class is mainly to adapt to the water and cultivate children to adapt to the water pressure and resistance environment. Ask the big class to increase the formal training of kicking, holding their breath, floating and breaststroke after they are familiar with water.
To prevent superficiality, we must keep pace with the times.
Software conditions and hardware conditions are indispensable. The children's training swimming pool equipped in our park is a continuation product of 0-/kloc-0-year-old infants' swimming, with automatic heating, automatic circulation, automatic purification and regular disinfection. In the cold winter, the water temperature is kept above 35 degrees, and it can be recycled and disinfected for 24 hours, which is impossible for ordinary adult swimming pools. Chemical disinfection is very harmful to children's eyes, skin and respiratory system. Our park uses machines. The characteristics are gradually formed, the personality characteristics are stable, and the educational components are of high quality. Therefore, in the field of early childhood education, we can't "cut corners" and must spare no effort to prepare hardware equipment.
4, combined with the actual situation, consider the teachers.
In kindergartens featuring bilingual and artistic skills, kindergarten teachers usually practice a little at the beginning of teaching, and children do seem to have improved in these skills. But have you ever wondered whether these teachers have qualified corresponding skills certificates? They may be qualified kindergarten teachers, but they are not necessarily qualified teachers with characteristic curriculum skills. Do they teach skills in the right way? Will it affect children's study habits in the future? We don't know all this, and it also lays an unknown "mine" for children's future learning. Our park is cautious in recruiting swimming coaches, which requires not only good swimming skills, but also a swimming coach certificate issued by the National Tourism Center, and has many years of experience in infant swimming training. At the same time, our park cooperates with Wenzhou Swimming Association to become the infant training base of Wenzhou Swimming Association to ensure that infants can get the most formal and direct skills learning.
5. Strive for the support of the outside world and parents.
Absorbing social forces will enrich our curriculum resources and improve and expand the teaching staff. Nowadays, many kindergartens are community supporting kindergartens, and kindergartens are also promoting "going out" and carrying out "community activities". In fact, this reminds us that when serving the community, we can also make use of the "potential resources" of the community, that is, the resources of people in the community, including parents. In the community, there are people from all walks of life, all with specialties, just as our teachers specialize in their own preschool education industry. When we encounter bottlenecks in the development of characteristic courses, we might as well try to ask for help from people or parents of related courses outside the park, and there may be unexpected gains. Doing so can not only help solve our own problems, but also bring us closer to the community, so that kindergartens and communities or the outside world can help each other and lead our children to go further and better!
