In order to create a more open learning space for children, let children establish a sound personality in an independent and open atmosphere and promote all-round development. Kindergartens should make full use of educational resources, approach communities and let education cross the walls of kindergartens. We should make full use of community resources, and strive to tap the natural environment, human environment, material environment and other educational resources in the community, so as to maximize their development and utilization and lay a solid foundation for the healthy growth of children.
First, strengthen community ties and serve community culture.
Kindergartens should take the initiative to strengthen communication and contact with community neighborhood committees, strive for community cooperation and support, hold meetings of directors of neighboring neighborhood committees, invite them to visit kindergarten's environmental facilities, and formulate reasonable community contact plans and programs, so that the contact between kindergartens and communities can proceed smoothly. It is necessary to go deep into the community to carry out family education propaganda, improve the awareness of family education among community members, and actively publicize the party's educational policy to community residents; Correct educational concepts, scientific parenting knowledge, and regularly send kindergarten leaders and experienced teachers to the community to give lectures on scientific knowledge of family education; Go to communities, squares, welfare homes, nursing homes, military units and other places on holidays, show the children's programs arranged by kindergartens to community residents, promote community ties and serve community culture. In recent years, our garden has held activities such as "Yellow River Square at the end of the month", "Lisda Cup" and "Yancheng Experimental Kindergarten June 1 Celebration", and added activities such as "Yancheng Spring Festival Literary Evening", "Yancheng Children's Art Festival Trial" and "Ideological and Moral Construction for Minors", which greatly enriched the lives of community residents.
Second, integrate into social life and exercise children's ability.
In order to cultivate children's communication, cooperation and problem-solving skills, we take them to the supermarket for shopping. In order to cultivate children's awareness of obeying traffic laws, we take them to the crossroads for on-site teaching; In order to let children know how to respect the elderly, we take our children to the nursing home to meet the elderly; In order to cultivate children's sympathy, respect and care for disabled and mentally retarded children, we take our children to welfare homes and become good friends hand in hand with the children in welfare homes; According to the seasonal characteristics, we also lead children to swim in autumn chrysanthemums in spring and observe and pick strawberries in greenhouse, so that children can feel the wonderful changes in the world and the relationship between seasons and people's life and labor through close contact with nature. Participating in social activities not only enhances children's social cognition, but also cultivates children's ability to communicate and solve problems. For example, in the activities of visiting the supermarket, the teacher first guides the children to observe how the goods in the supermarket are placed, so as to let them know that these goods are placed according to the purpose of the goods, including daily necessities and food, which is convenient for people to buy, enhance their social cognition and understand the application of mathematics in people's social life. At the same time, they encourage children to take the initiative to ask the clerk about the price of goods, cultivate their communication skills, and finally let them buy a commodity with their own pocket money and learn simple shopping.
Third, use community resources to expand educational content.
With the improvement of living standards, the supporting living facilities in the community are constantly improving. The community resources around our garden are rich and colorful, including food market, supermarket, bank, barber shop, primary and secondary schools and so on. And the living facilities around us are all educational resources that we can use, and they can all be living teaching materials for our theme activities. Therefore, we make full use of these community resources to enrich children's lives and carry out different educational activities. In the activity of "I am a little environmental guardian", children take the initiative to "make suggestions" to stop acts that damage and destroy the environment. Through the "I am a little environmental guardian" activity, children go to the community to pick up white garbage and serve the community, which makes the community environment elegant and clean, effectively promotes the germination of environmental awareness in children's hearts, and enables children to perceive the beauty of the environment in a relaxed and happy scene, and germinate the feelings of loving and caring for the community. Take children to supermarkets, food markets, post offices and other places to guide them to explore and enrich regional activities. Supermarkets are the most interesting and familiar places for children. In order to meet children's hobbies and needs, we organize children to go shopping in supermarkets according to local conditions. Let children experience life through shopping activities and improve their familiarity with coins. Children not only become small masters once, but more importantly, they experience the happiness of being accepted and valued by society. The vegetable market is another focus of children's attention. When they know about the "vegetable family" activities, they organize children to go to the vegetable market to observe and record what they see when they come back. Most of the children have recorded it comprehensively, and the theme activities have expanded. In addition, we also made use of the educational resources of primary schools to carry out the theme activity of "I want to go to primary schools", leading children to visit primary schools, reading a book with brothers and sisters, having a class as before, running wildly in the wide playground, getting in close contact with primary school teachers and pupils, asking questions boldly and interacting with teachers, brothers and sisters, and the children experienced the taste of being primary school students for half a day.
Practice has proved that the use of community resources to carry out thematic activities has promoted the formation of children's good behavior quality, consolidated and enriched children's knowledge, promoted children's intellectual development, enhanced mutual cooperation and care among children, cultivated children's feelings of loving their hometown and motherland, and really played a role in promoting children's physical and mental health and comprehensive and harmonious development.
Fourth, give play to the role of radiation and promote harmonious development.
Kindergartens give full play to the advantages of community specialized educational institutions and radiate educational functions to the community. In order to let the children in the community experience the colorful life of the kindergarten, the kindergarten has carried out various forms of open activities to the community, enjoyed the educational resources of the kindergarten, constantly enriched the activities, and held children's sports meetings, parent-child activities, festival performances and other activities. Invite community residents to take their children to the kindergarten to watch. Holidays, open to community children, provide playground and toys for community children; Take advantage of the high professional quality of kindergarten teachers, set up early childhood education classes, let experienced teachers take classes, and guide parents to raise children scientifically; Assist the community to carry out various educational activities; Consultation on community preschool education activities; Set up a family education publicity column at the entrance of the kindergarten to carry out family education publicity to the residents in the surrounding communities. In addition, kindergartens organize parents' school lectures every semester and invite parents of community children to attend lectures to help parents establish a correct view of children and education and improve the level of scientific parenting.
The educational resources contained in the community are very rich and valuable, which provides a broad platform for us to carry out thematic activities. Kindergarten can promote the development of children's quality and the construction of community spiritual civilization through the combination of community activities and kindergarten education activities. At the same time, it has played a very high role in society, improved social benefits and expanded the number of kindergarten students.
The development of kindergartens depends on the support of society and also serves the society. Kindergartens should strengthen community ties, make educational resources and community resources enjoy each other, enrich community culture, promote the development of community preschool education, expand kindergarten education content, exercise children's sociality, realize two-way interaction and two-way service between educational institutions and communities, and achieve the goal of mutual promotion and harmonious development.
