I have always believed that the younger a child is, the more parents should pay attention to it, especially before the age of six, which is a crucial period for the formation of personality in life. Moreover, children's inability to make their own choices depends entirely on their parents, who should certainly do their best. If you go to middle school, choosing a school is more about grades and abilities, and parents don't have much help. Therefore, parents in kindergartens and primary schools should be selective and create the best conditions for their children.

I started visiting kindergartens in the middle and late March, so many kindergartens can't start school. According to my own hearing and online inquiry, I know that there are more than 20 kindergartens near my home. I roughly divide these kindergartens into three categories: public parks, private aristocratic parks and private community parks. According to the distance from home, it is divided into walking distance, driving distance and driving distance. Then one family began to investigate.

At first, I heard an unfortunate news. My first choice kindergarten, the second kindergarten in Yuelu District, will be demolished in the second half of the year. Originally, this home was close to grandma's house, and it was convenient to pick up and drop off. It is also a public park, and the tuition is not expensive. It is also a city demonstration park, and its quality is relatively guaranteed. What a pity! The second child is dying, just look at the first child and the third child. Yiyou is an old-fashioned public park and is not allowed to go. When I arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, I said I wanted to sign up, but the doorman refused me, saying that the principle of admission is to be close by age. Three-and-a-half-year-olds are still waiting in line, and people who live next to the kindergarten are still waiting in line. You are still a few months short of three years old, and you have to drive to kindergarten, so you can't get in! As for Sanyou, several friends said it was too bad. Even friends with a monthly income of 3,000 would rather choose community parks than Sanyou. In this way, when I went to investigate, the doorman reluctantly said that we opened the registration for three days last week and it was full in three days, with 100 people. Children will have to sleep together this year.

All public parks are so delayed that they are not allowed to see them. I don't even know whether the classroom is round or square, and whether the teacher is male or female. I'm completely blind, and I'm really worried. Then I will go to see the private park.

There are only two good private parks nearby. One is Wanying, which has been operating for many years and ranks 6 1 in the list of the top 500 kindergartens in China. The other is Montessori kindergarten, which is newly opened and has its own skating rink fencing room. Of course, their fees are also high.

Wan Ying's teacher is very friendly. I went to see the garden by myself for the first time, and then took my children to participate in activities for more than half a month. They even called out my name when I got off the bus. When I visit the garden, the teacher who shows me around can also name every child I meet. There are independent classrooms and bedrooms, divided into classes according to age, rich toys and a large outdoor activity venue. Be kind to children, observe their hearts and establish appropriate rules. There are 20 students in a small class, two teachers and two guarantees, and the teacher-student ratio is reasonable. But the teaching AIDS are a little old, and there is no complete set of Montessori teaching AIDS in one class. Some teaching AIDS are empty, and they are not Montessori's classic mixed-age teaching. In short, in the traditional garden, this should be a very, very good choice, and it is also the favorite kindergarten for children.

Mengda Montessori Kindergarten was newly opened last year, and it used to do early education. Kindergarten is a small green villa with a large venue, including a dance room, a fencing room, an indoor skating rink, several guzheng and a piano room. The key is still very new and feels good, which is helpful to cultivate children's aesthetic education. For mixed-age classes, each class has a full set of Montessori teaching AIDS instead of the 88-piece set on Taobao. Teaching and sleeping together, two teaching and two guarantees, no more than 24 people in each class. The disadvantage is that the teacher is young and afraid of lack of experience and patience (later, a friend and child entered the park, but in more than a year, the child changed teachers three times in class). But I like it very much.

Both kindergartens have a shortcoming, that is, more than 4 thousand a month, which is still expensive for me who is going to have two treasures. So, I'm going to see a cheaper private park again.

Within a ten-minute walk from my home, there are four kindergartens, one is a special education kindergarten, which is specially set up for autistic children. Of course, it is not considered. Two are community parks that only accept 1 100. In fact, they are both very good community parks, and the director of one of them lives in my community, I know. There are several foreign children in the park (there are many black and Middle Eastern students near my home), but the quality of teachers in the park needs to be improved. In fact, I also visited four or five other community parks with more than 0/000 people/kloc. When I went to see them, I saw that the baby didn't eat. The teacher grabbed his ear and scolded him. The teacher shouted at the baby. The standard Mandarin was not standard. I saw the teacher dressed like a killer, the teacher's clothes were covered with oil stains and black nails, and the teacher said, "White rabbits are for nothing" and the children were sitting in small chairs. Seeing children fighting, the teacher doesn't care, some show the baby TV, some let the big class children write pinyin, and many let the children play by themselves. The teacher looks at the mobile phone and giggles. And in the communication with teachers, I basically don't have as much knowledge about parenting as I do. After observing the children, I found that many Xiong Haizi would hate walking on the road. In short, there is no community park with a ratio of 1000 or more, which makes me slightly satisfied.

More than 1,000 gardens are not satisfactory, and more than 4,000 gardens are expensive. Find a medium-level garden. There is also a garden near my home, * Mei Kindergarten, which is held at 2 100 every month. It looks very big. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I have an appointment to see the garden. A middle-aged man with a mouthful of alcohol in the guard room kindly took me in and introduced himself as a doctor in kindergarten. The young teacher who received me painted black nail polish and introduced the kindergarten in nonstandard Mandarin. Speaking of teaching characteristics, she introduced that kindergarten is robot education, similar. I was surprised and said, can a three-year-old baby do such a complicated thing? She said awkwardly, we started teaching at the age of four. I am still surprised that a four-year-old child can build a robot and program it. She said that there are teachers to guide and help! I see, Lego brainstorming courses are generally aimed at older children, and I don't want to encourage them. I also introduced their thinking class, which is probably to play different games and learn unity and logic in the game. That's good. It's a pity that when I took my children to see the garden for the second time, I happened to meet some children playing with thinking the game. Some sheep tried to besiege the wolf and make it unable to move. But when the children walked, the teacher kept interrupting how to walk. The children had their own ideas, and finally they acted with a wink from the teacher. The hardware and environment of this kindergarten are actually ok, but the software is really not.

Later, I went to the news kindergarten. The environment and hardware of this house are also good. There is a black foreign teacher in the international class, who spends half a day in a foreign language class, charging 3600 yuan, while the ordinary class only costs 2300 yuan. I made an appointment for my child to attend a regular class. I take care of the children at eight in the morning. Before the head teacher arrived, the assistant head teacher and the nanny arrived. After doing morning exercises together, we went back to the classroom to have breakfast. At breakfast, the teacher was combing the children's hair, which was very harmonious. Suddenly, a child knocked over the bowl and the breakfast fell to the ground. Although the nanny didn't scold, she treated it with a look of disgust, and the two children started fighting. The teacher stopped braiding. When dealing with it before, another child vomited a lot of snot and dragged it. In short, chickens fly and dogs jump, and they come and go in a hurry. I was thinking that there are only 19 children in this class. If it is a public park with 30 or 40 children, what should the teacher do? At this moment, the head teacher came. In fact, the head teacher is still good. She picked up a child crying for his mother and told the other children to sit down and prepare for class. But the child can't always hold it, put it on the seat and do it well, or cry that mom will pick me up right away. Aunt nanny came to break his fantasy. She said directly: Your mother won't come right away! Hearing this, the child immediately changed from sobbing to crying. Aunt nanny came to me again and said, isn't your child almost finished eating? When kindergarten arrives, it will be closed and you will starve to death! 10: 30, I left with my children. As we all know, I passed this kindergarten.

I feel that more than 1,000 kindergartens are not as good as kindergartens near my home that know the director, and more than 2,000 kindergartens. It's better to bite the bullet and go to Wanying or Montessori (there are several activities later, just tell me 3600-3800).

At the same time, I still haven't given up public parks. I want my children to attend Bafang Community Kindergarten (children of civil servants of the municipal government) directly under Changsha Education Bureau. Since it is difficult to enter the public park through normal channels, it is good to find a relationship. But almost all relationships tell me that you found out too late. After the Chinese New Year, the list of students enrolled in September will be handed in. At this time, Bao Dad, who always thought it was no big deal to go to kindergarten, also felt that something was wrong. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a suitable kindergarten, so he began to pay attention.

The kindergarten affiliated to Normal University told us that if we want to go, we can pay 1.5W to enter the park. However, it is actually very inconvenient to go to our home. If you go to school, basically it takes more than 1.5 hours to pick up and drop off on the road every day! That's torture for the children and for us.

At the end of my rope, a friend sent me a list of the best kindergartens in Changsha (don't ask me about the list, I have long lost it, and I vaguely remember Huaguoshan Kindergarten, Children's Home in spring and so on. The kindergartens on this list are kindergartens that educate their children with love and freedom instead of beating and scolding their children. Basically, Montessori education method or Waldorf education method is used. Emphasize that the task of childhood is not to extend outward, but to accumulate inward. A person's inner strength is very strong, in order to control himself well, cultivate children's sense of responsibility, self-confidence, concentration and enthusiasm, and cultivate spiritual embryos that care for children.

Such kindergartens are large and small, and there are two such Children's Home in Hexi. The whole Children's Home is a mixed-age class, with no more than 20 children, three teachers and a nanny. I have talked with two main class teachers in Children's Home, and I feel that their educational philosophy is exactly what I want, and they are more professional and can grasp and operate better than me. Heart margin Children's Home is one of them. Its founder is Dahuang, a male teacher who has been engaged in preschool education for more than ten years. One is Omon Children's Home, founded by LYN, an international certified teacher of IMA Montessori. Another teacher, LILY, came back from Singapore with a master's degree in education and advanced and reasonable educational ideas. In fact, the hardware of the two children's homes is not as good as that of the big kindergarten. They are all apartments in apartment buildings. However, choosing a kindergarten is mainly about choosing a teacher with children! ! ! Mainly to take children to choose teachers! ! ! Mainly to take children to choose teachers! ! ! (Important words three times) I took my children to these two children's houses for an audition. Their courses are very rich. In Xinyuan Children's Home, children do housework and sanitation together every Monday, and have outdoor activities, step on streams and have water fights on Wednesdays; Omon Children's Home had a small scientific experiment, and climbed trees outside to pick bayberry on the day of the audition. Both Children's Home took their children to visit clinics, supermarkets and properties. Yes, it is very similar to the foreign forest kindergartens, outdoor kindergartens and exploration kindergartens you often see in your circle of friends.
