? Regarding the early childhood classes for children, people often ask me how effective it is, whether I want to attend them or not, and whether the money spent is worth it.
? All kinds of early education institutions not only besieged major communities, but also small counties in the Fifth Line. There are many such people in my hometown. I really feel very cautious when I hear my classmates say that I want to take my children to the "sensory training" class. Words that always confuse you, such as "sensory training", "emotional intelligence training", "adversity quotient training" and "left and right brain development", are the focus of publicity, so basically you don't have to consider them, and IQ tax can be saved. However, the more mystifying, the more parents regard it as a standard. Moreover, how anxious parents are, there will be many interest classes and various "camps".
My elder sister started taking classes at Gymboree about eleven months ago. The course in the past three years is more of an inspiration and influence to myself. I have always believed that family education is the starting point and foundation of all education. This is especially true for preschool children.
I recognized Gymboree because of our luck, of course. Because the teachers in the center are really passionate and professional, in this class, children are happy and parents benefit. Gymboree's educational philosophy and curriculum system also coincide with mine. The three views are correct and integrated into one.
For friends who are confused about the choice of early education classes, there are several suggestions for reference:
? First: choose large institutions.
Teachers are guaranteed, and curriculum design can be traced back to the source.
? Organizations with incorrect views, big and small, will definitely make your children suffer. Especially common, such as the teacher casually saying "Your child is too timid" and "Your child is not attentive in class" ... must be enough to make you lose your mind. I have never encountered such an evaluation in Gymboree. Even in this case, I don't think many parents will feel that there is a problem, so it depends on the parents' ability whether their children suffer or not.
When choosing an institution, I always have to look at my eyes, which saves me a lot of time and trouble. I never take my eldest sister around to try classes. I always collect information like a special agent and then judge for myself whether it is an "excellent" institution. The choice made by my eldest sister has always responded with "happiness", which makes me feel that "happy education" is really waving to us. Moreover, it is difficult to find the effect in one or two experience classes, and even some children use crying to express their position. A really good organization can judge eight or nine points conceptually. I think mothers can identify the right one for their children from the colorful ones.
Moreover, it is also fate to meet the three teachers. For teachers, concept is more important than level. The big sister's luck is that she met a group of very professional teachers.
? Second: How do you view the cost of early education classes?
? Children are money breakers, but parents can choose whether to give them a chance. Interest classes generally have more than 200 classes per class, which is the cheapest. Investment is not investment, because children should not be business. Investment must pursue returns. If you lose money, you should consider withdrawing your investment. But what do parents pursue in their children's long life?
? If you think early education classes are expensive, really don't follow suit. In addition to children attending classes, there are various transportation expenses. After having a meal, children are attracted by toys and must buy something to go home and play on the playground next to them. Expenditure is spiraling up. Therefore, if you are willing to invest, you must learn to be reluctant and not anxious. It is painful to be reluctant but unable to make up your mind.
Third: Do I have to attend an early education class?
? Parents who are anxious about this must be not confident enough. Family is the most important class for children. Talking to children, being exiled to Shan Ye or playing with scenery and mud are all courses for children. It is difficult for a child's long life to change qualitatively because of a small stage. Anxious parents are everywhere, and IQ tax is easy to collect.
? Fourth: How many years is the early education class suitable?
? We are used to the pursuit of fame and fortune, and we hope that as long as we invest, we can have immediate results. Perhaps three or four-year-old children will cry and refuse in class, and most children are suitable to go to places outside their homes to hone with others. But not all children can show calm quickly. Persistence, companionship, guidance, learning, exploration, discovery and encouragement are the meanings of early education classes.
? At the graduation ceremony, I also saw many children about two years old. To be honest, this stage is actually the golden time for children to integrate into the classroom and suddenly end their studies. There may be various reasons or other better choices, but I am also sorry. Since I have chosen, it is actually good for parents and children to spend more time persisting and trying or going through different stages of courses. And exploring in a familiar environment will make children feel more secure and trusting.
? Fifth: What should parents do if they don't have time and want their children to attend early education classes?
? There are many nannies or elders accompanying the class. From the top of the contempt chain, I naturally disagree. But of course, I think it is surprising that parents are so willing to invest money for their children. ? The elders basically only spoil and scold their children, and can't see any guidance methods. Most of the children who completely indulge themselves in the classroom come from this. Nannies are more free, because they sit in class but charge by the hour. They are winners in life.
? Of course, there are parents who can't do anything about their children, parents who always interfere with their children's every move, parents who don't know English or what the teacher is singing, and parents who can't turn their mobile phones around the world ... take care of themselves and ask for more happiness.
? Sixth: What if children don't like classes?
? An important reason why elder sister likes attending classes is that she always finds that attending classes is closely related to her life. The new thing she just came into contact with suddenly appeared in class; What she likes can also be found in class; The new knowledge she learned in class can just be met in life ... so it is really important to broaden children's horizons. ? Not to let her know more than others, but to let her have so much love, curiosity and answers in her heart.
Seventh: What did the elder sister learn after three years of class?
? The answer to the question may be nothing.
Learning is just a way of life to make your life more comfortable. Showing off complacency, inferiority and frustration are all hurting children.
Big sister enjoys it. She grew from eleven months to three years and seven months, and has always been that special. Counting on my fingers, in order to attend more than 200 classes, I drove more than 200 times and spent more than 800 hours, which is insignificant in my life.
