According to the reporter's investigation, the early education institutions in Changchun generally have 45 minutes per class, and the cost ranges from around 40 yuan to 120 yuan. The tuition fee for a semester is mostly several thousand yuan. In addition, there are various expenses, such as entrance examination and evaluation fees and extra materials for art classes.
It is said that a penny is worth a penny, but this may not make sense in early education institutions. During the visit, the reporter found that some early education institutions with similar courses charge different fees. This happened in two early education institutions in Hongqi Street, Changchun. In the first early education institution, the staff introduced several courses suitable for one-year-old children, including swimming, music, interaction, pronunciation, etc., mainly to exercise the baby's social, sensory and cognitive aspects. 80 yuan is charged for each class, while the second class is exactly the same as the first class, and only 40 yuan is charged. Regarding the price question raised by the reporter, the first early education institution explained that their equipment and teachers are the best, which is definitely more expensive than those who are "irregular", while the second early education institution said that it never advertises, and it relies on the reputation of customers, so the advertising fee saved becomes a price concession.
"Don't take early education too narrowly. Teaching children to read and recite poems is early education, and playing games with children is also early education. " Education experts say that the theme of early education is happiness. It is necessary to help children understand the environment step by step in the game, and unilaterally increase the burden on the baby according to the wishes of parents. Instead of laying a good foundation for the baby to learn various skills in the future, it will become boring and have a negative impact on the baby's future education.
Experts believe that high investment does not necessarily lead to high return, and early education courses cannot prove their value by price, so be careful when choosing. Whether it is the early education of infants or the later study and education, the important thing is not to cultivate talents, but to cultivate children's healthy psychology and personality.
