The creation of outdoor environment is not something that can be done by enthusiasm alone. The creation of outdoor environment combines the knowledge of preschool education, children's developmental psychology, amusement space design, children's natural education, aesthetics, architecture, environmental gardening design and many other disciplines. Kindergarten outdoor environment creation should follow the following principles.
0 1 security
The safety of children in outdoor activities is the most concerned issue. The safety required by the construction of outdoor environment is mainly manifested in the ground, facilities and equipment, toy materials and so on. Children under the age of six generally have the characteristics of running and jumping, imperfect movement development and poor self-control ability. ? In order to prevent children from falling and being injured, the directors will choose soft plastic or artificial lawn materials. A few domestic manufacturers' materials are not up to standard, which has caused great controversy and has been criticized as a "poisonous runway".
My suggestion here is that soft and clean sand, sawdust and dried bark can be laid in children's play areas and sports areas. Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to use natural grass directly, and other public areas can be properly plasticized.
02 nature
One of the most important functions of outdoor activity places is to provide a healthy space for children to get close to nature, feel natural changes and bathe in sunshine and air. Therefore, the outdoor environment should be built to preserve the natural features as much as possible, so that flowers, trees and various small animals can accompany children to grow up and let children feel the beauty and magic of life growth and change.
03 education
Space is the most important educational resource. Therefore, when creating the outdoor environment of kindergarten, we must consider the educational objectives and the needs of the educational process and create as diverse an environment as possible. For example, there are various sports environments that meet the needs of children's outdoor physical exercise, various game environments that meet the needs of children's rich game activities, and scientific inquiry environments that meet the needs of children's scientific cognition and scientific inquiry activities. The environment is closely related to the curriculum, and the environment should contribute to the implementation and generation of the curriculum. Kindergartens should create an outdoor environment with regional and kindergarten-based characteristics according to the concept and characteristics of kindergarten-based curriculum.
04 aesthetics
The aesthetics of outdoor environment is to create a beautiful outdoor environment from the aesthetic point of view, so that its amusement space design is creative, the color is harmonious, the pattern is beautiful, and the most important thing is childlike interest. Kindergarten outdoor environment design has gardening elements, but we should not only pay attention to gardening, but also pay attention to the artistic beauty and childlike sense of playground design. It should be emphasized here that a childlike outdoor environment does not mean cartoonization-cartoonization is a misunderstanding of children's aesthetics by adults.
05 openness
Open outdoor space and open toy materials are one of the prerequisites to ensure children's freedom and autonomy in outdoor activities. The continuity and mobility of outdoor activity space help children to change from one space to another.
06 challenging
Children need a safe and suitable outdoor environment. However, with the growth of age and ability, older children will increasingly like adventurous and challenging facilities and toys. Kindergartens should create diverse, creative, challenging and adventurous environments for children. What must be explained here is that to create an adventurous and challenging environment, all potential safety hazards must be eliminated under the premise of safety.
Hillside is suitable for younger children, and crawling is suitable for older children.
forgetive
In role-playing, children realize their desire to participate in social life in an imaginative way, so it is of great significance to children's self-awareness, social experience, communicative ability, language expression and emotional development.
In the game, children take on scenes, roles and plots by substituting people for things, and realize their inner wishes.
For example, a sailing-themed playground gives children a chance to imagine themselves playing at sea. They can fight pirates or meet mermaids, and give full play to their endless imagination! These play areas promote children's development, provide hands-on games and encourage children to learn while playing. For example, a playground with the theme of fire engines can help children develop their emotions and cognition when they imagine helping others. Theme playgrounds can also help children develop social skills by encouraging group games. For example, a castle-themed playground encourages children to play different roles in the castle and act together.
