First, the consulting director.
Ask about the purpose, work objectives and system construction of the park. During the conversation, master the overall development direction of the kindergarten and understand the management level of the director. If the director is full of confidence, clear thinking, creativity and pursuit, the kindergarten must be good. Even if the charge here is low and the current hardware conditions are average, it is worth considering.
Second, communicate with nursing teachers
Experience each other's professionalism, sense of responsibility, personal accomplishment, educational ideas and teaching methods in the process of communication, and observe each other's mental outlook. You can also ask questions such as "What do you think is the most important quality of preschool teachers" to further assess the quality of teachers.
Third, visit environmental facilities and learn about the curriculum.
Observing the surrounding environment and internal facilities, especially the kitchen and bathroom, can directly reflect the sanitary situation. Ask the teacher about the curriculum, what games to play, how long outdoor activities are every day, and how to carry out health care, all of which have the most direct impact on the baby.
4. What do parents need to do?
The connection between kindergarten and parents represents the importance attached to the baby. If kindergartens hold parent-child schools and classes regularly, make contact manuals and keep in touch with parents, it shows that kindergartens really care about the next generation.
Fifth, observe the baby's reaction.
If possible, take the baby to kindergarten, let him contact the teacher and observe the baby's reaction. Only when the baby likes the teacher will he like going to kindergarten.
If you are interested in sending your baby here, please be sure to check whether the kindergarten has a "model kindergarten" or "qualified kindergarten" license. If it is a private kindergarten, please carefully understand the health and safety situation here and whether it has been approved by relevant departments.
Sixth, choose the right kindergarten.
Theoretically speaking, it is a good thing that the kindergarten has good hardware conditions and the baby will be exposed to more things. In addition, the following two points should be considered:
1. Is it suitable for babies?
About 3 years old is a critical period for the development of baby's safe attachment. At this time, if you can see your mother every day, it will help to build a sense of security. Therefore, parents are advised to choose full-time kindergartens for babies of this age. If the baby's emotional development is normal, he likes to communicate with others and has the desire to take care of himself, he can also try boarding kindergarten.
2. Is it suitable for parents?
Kindergarten, which is far away from home and expensive, will not only make parents feel hard, but also easily cause economic tension. Kindergarten is only the primary stage of baby education. In the future, he will go to primary school, middle school and university, and his expenses are not small. Therefore, when choosing a kindergarten, we should do what we can according to our own situation.
You can't go to a kindergarten like this:
(1) can't provide enough play space for the baby;
(2) Taking the pursuit of profit as the main purpose;
(3) strict requirements for the baby;
(4) Management is not standardized.
Seven, psychological preparation before entering the park
First of all, read a few articles to the baby every day, so that he can learn to think while reading. This is also a good way to communicate with your baby. After entering the park, he will adapt to the teacher teaching in the same way.
Once the baby officially enters the park, send him to the kindergarten gate every day and say goodbye immediately. Don't show reluctance to leave, and don't turn around as soon as you hear the baby cry. After a long time, once the baby has mastered the method of retaining his parents, it will be more difficult for him to adapt to the life in kindergarten.
Another way is to let parents participate more in kindergarten life, communicate more with teachers and understand the baby's performance in kindergarten. Experiments have found that this will promote the baby to perform well in kindergarten.
How to choose a kindergarten for children
A parent told the kindergarten director that he would transfer his 4-year-old son to another school in the second half of the year on the grounds that he was dissatisfied with the kindergarten's failure to teach writing. The parent said that he has many friends and everyone usually gets together. His children are about his own age, but his children seem to know a lot of knowledge and can write a lot of complicated words, while his children know nothing but play. She said she was in a hurry and felt ashamed.
Now many parents, like this parent, only value superficial things, such as writing, arithmetic and other quantifiable indicators. They equate early education with early intellectual development, and train reading, writing and arithmetic skills and impart academic knowledge in advance. The quality of kindergarten is evaluated by how many words children can read and how many points they can count. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of parents, some kindergartens force their children to instill knowledge regardless of their physiological and psychological characteristics and violate the principle of quality education.
Preschool education experts point out that children are in the growth stage and are extremely fragile physically and mentally. The practice of primary education in early childhood fundamentally ignores children's physical and psychological characteristics, deprives children of childlike innocence and the right to play, and distorts or even stifles children's nature. This practice will seriously affect the healthy growth of young children.
In large and medium-sized cities, some white-collar mothers seem to have changed their ideas and focused their attention on children learning foreign languages, piano and painting. They choose a kindergarten for their children mainly depending on whether the kindergarten is famous, how the hardware facilities are, and whether there are special classes.
3-6 years old is a critical period for children's development, and kindergartens have a great influence on children. How should parents choose a kindergarten for their children? We interviewed Kang Deying, the former director of Beihai Kindergarten. Teacher Kang said that when parents choose kindergartens for their children, they mainly look at whether their children can get all-round development in kindergartens. Teacher Kang said that parents should go out of the following misunderstandings when choosing kindergartens for their children:
1. No matter how far the journey is and how high the price is, try to enter the first-class kindergarten. According to the scale, facilities, management level, teacher level, teaching quality and comprehensive evaluation of health care, the state divides kindergartens into first-class kindergartens, first-class kindergartens and second-class kindergartens. The first category is the best. Although the first-class garden is good, it is not the only choice standard for parents. Parents should consider it comprehensively, and the distance of the road should also be a very important consideration.
Don't take learning a foreign language as your first choice. Learning a foreign language is not a compulsory course in kindergarten. There is no corresponding provision in the guiding outline of kindergarten education. You can learn if conditions permit, and you can not learn if conditions do not permit. There is no need to learn. Parents can speak English, and children will learn English better; Parents don't know English, and most children will forget it after learning it. The effect is not very good. In China, there is no ladder-like English teaching mode in kindergartens and primary schools. Learn better, and there is no bad influence if you don't learn.
Special education may not be suitable for everyone. Nowadays, many kindergartens have put up signs of characteristic gardens, such as bilingual kindergartens, music kindergartens, sports kindergartens and art kindergartens. Their commitment to cultivating children's specialties has really tempted many parents. However, these characteristic parks also have mixed characteristics, so parents should choose carefully. Moreover, the early childhood stage focuses on all-round development, and the cultivation of children's interests should not be prematurely oriented and blindly follow the trend. Too much emphasis on one project will inevitably affect the discovery and development of other potentials. Even if it is to cultivate expertise, children aged 3 to 4 should not be too demanding. Parents should pay attention to their children's enlightenment education and don't judge by skills.
Teacher Kang said that when choosing a kindergarten for children, it is necessary to listen to the opinions of parents of children who have already entered the park, get first-hand information from them and learn about the situation from kindergarten teachers. In any case, don't forget to visit in person. After all, "hearing is empty, seeing is believing"! If you are in it, you will know whether this kindergarten is suitable for your children.
You should listen to all directions when choosing a kindergarten.
Tell parents-avoid three misunderstandings
Myth 1: The earlier children's enlightenment education begins, the better.
Experts dispel doubts: children's enlightenment education is a scientific process. Too early or too late is bad for children's intellectual development and the cultivation of thinking consciousness. As the idiom "Encourage the growth of seedlings" describes, if parents blindly advance education, children's mental development will not be absorbed, which will not only have no effect, but also make children feel bored and afraid of the process of learning knowledge, which will lead to endless future troubles.
Myth 2: Children's full-time care is conducive to cultivating children's independence.
Experts dispel doubts: Full-time nursing cannot be used as a way for parents to evade their educational responsibilities. Although children spend most of their time in kindergartens, they are educated and cared for by experienced teachers and kindergarten teachers. But the care and cultivation of family is an indispensable and irreplaceable part of children's growth. Full-time care is really helpful for older children to cultivate their independence, but too young children need the care of family environment.
Myth 3: You should learn to read and do arithmetic early when you enter kindergarten.
Experts' doubts: Many parents want their children to start early, and hope that their children can read more books and do more arithmetic in kindergarten. In fact, they put pressure on their children too early, which may cause them to be tired of learning. Experts pointed out that the main purpose of children entering kindergartens is to gain cognitive, emotional, social and physical training.
As a child's first step into society during kindergarten, we should pay attention to cultivating children's social skills, know how to get along with others and form a collective consciousness, rather than being self-centered. This is very beneficial for him to go to society in the future.
We should also focus on games in learning, because for children aged 3-6, putting pressure on learning too early is not good for their physical and mental health. Getting as much information as possible from the surrounding environment, thus stimulating their thirst for knowledge, is the basis for future study. Emotional education is an important aspect of preschool education. Children should learn to care about others in the collective environment of kindergartens, and at the same time cultivate persistence and independence in doing things.
Choosing a kindergarten for your baby is learned.
When choosing a kindergarten, we should not only consider the teachers, teaching contents and facilities in the kindergarten. The following 10 elements are available for your reference:
1, teacher
The quality of teachers is the most important. Do you need to know whether kindergarten teachers respect children? Is the relationship between teachers harmonious? Because disharmonious interpersonal relationships will affect children, make them always in a state of tension and hinder their development.
2. Teacher-student ratio
The number of children in each class largely determines the quality of all aspects of the group. According to national regulations, full-time kindergartens should be equipped with 2 teachers per class, 1 nurse. Boarding kindergartens should be equipped with 2 teachers and 2 nurses in each class.
Small class (3-4 years old): 20-25 people in each class.
Middle class (4-5 years old): each class has 20-30 students.
Large class (5-6 years old): 30-35 people in each class.
3. Contents and methods of teaching activities
At present, the content of kindergarten teaching is mainly based on six educational activities such as language, common sense, music, calculation, painting and sports, and various games, which run through the education of ideological and moral character, interpersonal skills, labor ability and language development ability in one day's life. Many kindergartens also provide literacy, English, computer, art and other educational activities to improve children's intellectual development. In the choice of teaching materials, the national educational institutions have no specific regulations, and each kindergarten has a lot of independent space.
It is worth noting that parents should pay attention to the educational methods adopted by kindergartens. If they find that the kindergarten adopts the primary school or adult education mode, they should not choose it, lest the children get bored with learning in the future.
4. Hardware facilities
In addition to whether the classroom is spacious and bright and whether there are facilities suitable for children's age characteristics, two aspects should be considered:
Are there any outdoor game AIDS? Are there slides, swings, swivel chairs, climbing frames, etc? Is it safe?
The other kind should consider the layout in the classroom. Are there any works made or painted by teachers and children around the classroom? From this, we can see the professional level of teachers and their patience with children. Are there any study corners and school supplies for children in the classroom? This can reflect whether children have real opportunities to learn actively in kindergarten, and also reflect the degree of teachers' love for their work.
5. food
The garden should provide parents with their children's weekly diet schedule so that parents can know what their children eat at each meal.
6, health disinfection measures
All kindergarten staff must be free from infectious diseases and have a physical examination once a year or half a year to see if they are healthy. Sterilize towels, teacups and other children's products once or twice a day. The kitchen is clean and the children's tableware is disinfected every time. Each child has his own special cup and towel, which are placed in a fixed position. Can provide children with enough boiled water to ensure that children can drink it at any time when they are thirsty. Toys are disinfected once a week.
7. Safety
Are there frequent major accidents related to children's safety in kindergartens? Have you ever lost a child's record? This marks the strength of a kindergarten manager and teacher's safety awareness of children. Some kindergartens cannot reasonably establish rules and regulations, and there is no strict guard system, food hygiene system, shift system and safety system, which leads to loopholes in management and serious consequences.
8. location
Choosing a kindergarten is of course as close to home as possible. First, it can save picking time and reduce accidents. Second, close to home, children can often see kindergartens, and it is not easy to feel strange. If the kindergarten is close to the construction site, the noise of buildings during the day will seriously affect children's daily activities and physical and mental health.
9. Parental participation
Will kindergartens take the initiative to contact parents and let them participate in some activities, such as parents' open days, parent-teacher conferences, holiday celebrations, etc. Can kindergartens send their children's report cards and learning progress to parents, and will kindergartens take the initiative to contact parents when their children have difficulties or other bad behaviors?
10, family economic situation
Parents can choose private parks or public parks according to their own economic situation. Private parks generally have good hardware facilities, but the fees are relatively high, generally between 25,000 and 35,000 per year. There are classes in public parks, first-class and first-class day care, 300 yuan every month for those over three years old, and 350 yuan every month for those under three years old; Class II and Class II kindergartens provide day care for children over three years old in 200 yuan every month, and children under three years old in 250 yuan every month. Boarding kindergarten 100 yuan per month.
The ways to know whether a kindergarten is good or bad are:
1. It is the best and most direct way to communicate with the director by telephone. Parents don't have to worry about being rejected, because the director won't refuse a parent who wants to let his children consult in the park. The wider the range of questions, the deeper the understanding, and the more help you make the right choice.
You can take the opportunity of taking your children home to talk with the parents of other children studying in this kindergarten and get as much information as possible.
Experts teach you how to choose a kindergarten
What kind of preschool education is the best?
The reason why modern parents send their children to kindergarten is that they want their children to get the best enlightenment education. Although some teachers are gentle, patient, love to be with children, and are born with the temperament of being a teacher, they still need to find kindergarten teachers who are professionally trained, can master modern educational skills and concepts, are good at communicating with children and parents, and can share their experience in caring for and educating children in kindergartens. They can enhance the educational function of the family, have the spirit of continuous progress and exploration, and can help children learn more. Therefore, when choosing a kindergarten, we must carefully inspect the kindergarten teachers.
Individualized education can cultivate excellent children.
Kindergarten has its specific teaching objectives and methods. Whether the kindergarten you choose can teach students in accordance with their aptitude according to each child's personality is very important for their growth. Whether the kindergarten's arrangement of educational courses conforms to the regulations of the education department, whether it has its own unique educational content and methods, and what scientific research achievements some courses have are all standards to measure the educational level. Parents must be clear about all the arrangements of teaching, games and life in a kindergarten, from which they can understand the overall strength of a kindergarten.
Environmental planning and safety can not be ignored.
When choosing a kindergarten, the environment is the easiest to see. After contacting the kindergarten, parents can take a walk to see whether the garden building is stable, whether the stairs and equipment are designed for children, and whether the stairs, table corners, columns and game facilities are equipped with protective equipment to protect children's safety. In order to meet the characteristics of children's love of activities, the kindergarten space should be spacious, so that children can run and play whenever they want. In addition, parents should pay attention to the safety of fire fighting equipment, drinking water and electricity. Parents should remember to take a walk in the toilet and kitchen when visiting the kindergarten to see if it meets the hygiene requirements and the distance from the activity room is appropriate.
Of course, the seemingly inconspicuous details such as dirty cups and dirty towels for children to drink water are all good evaluation points. Pay attention to whether there are children's works in the classroom and whether the toys are enough for children. It is best to display books and teaching AIDS in an open way, which is convenient for children to take. By the way, let's see if children can use these supplies freely, and if there are any restrictions.
Don't take learning a foreign language as your first choice. Learning a foreign language is not a compulsory course in kindergarten. There is no corresponding provision in the guiding outline of kindergarten education. You can learn if conditions permit, and you can not learn if conditions do not permit. There is no need to learn. Parents can speak English, and children will learn English better; Parents don't know English, and most children will forget it after learning it. The effect is not very good. In China, there is no ladder-like English teaching mode in kindergartens and primary schools. Learn better, and there is no bad influence if you don't learn.
College education may not be suitable for everyone. Nowadays, many kindergartens have put up signs of characteristic gardens, such as bilingual kindergartens, music kindergartens, sports kindergartens and art kindergartens. Their commitment to cultivating children's specialties has really tempted many parents. However, these characteristic parks also have mixed characteristics, so parents should choose carefully. Moreover, the early childhood stage focuses on all-round development, and the cultivation of children's interests should not be prematurely oriented and blindly follow the trend. Too much emphasis on one project will inevitably affect the discovery and development of other potentials. Even if it is to cultivate expertise, children aged 3 to 4 should not be too demanding. Parents should pay attention to their children's enlightenment education and don't judge by skills.
What should parents and babies prepare?
Every year from March to September, all newborn babies will encounter the same problem. In technical terms, it is separation anxiety, which usually refers to adaptation to the park.
The preparation mentioned here includes two levels and two aspects of preparation. The first layer is the preparation of parents themselves, and the second layer is the preparation of parents to help their babies; The two aspects of preparation are psychological preparation and physical preparation.
Registration is very important for parents who bring their babies to the park for the first time to do their homework. Mom and dad should not only find the most suitable kindergarten for their children's development in advance, but also wait until their kindergarten dust settles. Be sure to get in touch with the garden in advance to confirm the registration time and precautions.
From the policy point of view, the enrollment scope of public kindergartens is generally around, and private kindergartens can cross regions. Due to the limitation of enrollment quota and policy, private kindergartens may make more efforts in enrollment, and the garden will also introduce some different measures to encourage parents to understand kindergartens. At this time, parents must seize the opportunity.
After the interview is completed, the kindergarten will usually ask parents to bring their babies to the interview. On the day of the interview, parents should pay attention to the baby's mood. Don't blame your baby even if his performance is slightly lacking. Don't put too much pressure on your baby and make him hostile to entering the park, which will be unfavorable for your baby to adapt to kindergarten life in the future. After the interview, parents should pay close attention to the list of children entering the kindergarten announced by the kindergarten to prevent some unnecessary troubles.
Ability preparation After completing the previous work, parents should also pay attention to helping debugging. It is very necessary to prepare for basic living ability, basic study habits and abilities. Generally speaking, kindergarten is the first time for a baby to leave his parents and live in a collective environment. This is very useful for babies to develop some basic life skills, such as knowing clothes, taking off shoes, urinating independently and sleeping independently.
Secondly, the preparation of basic study habits and ability training. In kindergarten, babies should not only learn to get along with other babies, but also know how to express their ideas to teachers in time. Therefore, it is very important for parents to consciously cultivate their children's awareness of time and getting along.
Mental preparation is as important as physical preparation. Parents should tell their baby the difference between kindergarten and family life intentionally or unintentionally, so that the baby has the concept of "I want to go to kindergarten". However, in the process of description, parents should pay attention to it, that is, try to stimulate the baby's yearning for kindergarten and prevent the baby from having negative emotions. "
