The following is the experience of taking your baby to audition, for reference only.
The first one: kiss the kangaroo.
1, faculty and staff
When I tried the kangaroo class, the child was still very young. I described it from memory. Foreign teachers, bishops and teachers from China assisted in translating, playing music and obtaining teaching aids. At that time, the children were assigned to the little turtle class for ten months. This class is basically a crawling child. Toddlers from one year old to one year and three months old are assigned to penguin classes. The content of the course is quite rich, from massaging children to knowing your body, catching and pitching. Dance with music, walk, rainbow umbrella, treasure bag, etc. Parents take their children to play in the hall for ten minutes between classes, which is the biggest difference from other early education centers. I think all mygym's equipment is in the classroom, and I need to do sports in class, which is the so-called big sports training. The teacher here said not to put it in the classroom to avoid distracting the children. It's time. The teacher stands at the door of the classroom and taps the small bangzi. Parents bring their children back to the classroom, then carry out rhythm training with a small bangzi, and finally blow bubbles, and the course is over.
2. Environment
The address of Kissing Kangaroo (Blue Harbor Store) is in the park. The external environment is good, but the internal environment is average. The rest area is in the aisle, so it's a bit crowded and narrow. If the children here are inconvenient to eat and drink, and there is no nursery, a "doctor" can tell you some precautions in feeding according to the development curve. The rest area has lockers and keys against the wall, so it's convenient to store your own bags. There are instant coffee and black tea. There is no children's reading area.
3. Regular activities
Chatting with members' mothers and knowing that they often engage in activities is still very rich.
Step 4 transport
Blue Harbor Store is located in Blue Harbor Children's Paradise. It's easy to find and park.
5. Price
Compared with other companies, the price is not much different. After 96 classes are discounted, it is about 150- 160.
6. Curriculum design
It is said that besides the fun class in the kitchen, kissing kangaroos recently sounds quite new. It teaches children to cook, and has never experienced it.
Second hometown: Gymboree
1, faculty and staff
Gymboree is a big brand of early education that everyone is very familiar with. Because everyone ranked it first, of course, I was the first to listen to this family. Teachers are equipped with Chinese teachers and foreign teachers, but the language expression ability of teachers here is not strong. Gymboree advocates English teaching, which is understandable. The problem is that you have been learning English in a strange context, which requires the teacher's body language to be more abundant. If the body language is not rich enough, how can children understand it? I think after the teacher gave the instructions, the children's expressions were either startled or indifferent, and they were playing with themselves alone. It would be perfect if the teacher had more expressions and gestures, or if the teaching assistant had one or two humanized Chinese explanations.
2. Environment
We also went to Zhongguancun. This center has complete hardware and facilities. The biggest drawback is that there are simply too many people on weekends! I think this is also the negative effect of fame. It is no exaggeration to say that there are many people.
3. Regular activities
This Gymboree activity is really colorful, well done and well filled! Hundreds of activities at a time make me feel a little distressed.
Step 4 transport
I get dizzy as soon as I get to Zhongguancun. Parking is average, 6 yuan an hour, parking space is average. It's not too hard to find.
5. Price
Among these institutions, this should be the best quotation and discount. For us middle class, to be honest, it really feels a bit expensive!
6. Curriculum design
Courses, education, music, art and global treasures imported directly from the United States. The global baby course we went through. Because it was a prize, I went to Africa in the first week and Europe in the second week. I feel full of energy in this world. Teachers will teach these places how to say hello, as well as unique dances and customs. There is also a small notebook similar to a passport, which can post the works of this class, which is very meaningful. It is that the teacher's body language is not rich enough. In the whole process of English teaching, sometimes the children don't know what to say and the teaching assistants don't explain it.
14. How old is the baby attending the early education course?
My baby has been attending early education classes (also called parent-child classes) since five months, and what he has learned is to improve his cognitive ability, motor development ability and communication ability. Children of this age do early education mainly to promote the development of the five senses, and other early education courses with specific contents will not be learned until later.
