① The course characteristics of In the Night Garden.

First of all, according to the baby's development, it is divided into NIDO classroom and IC classroom. NIDO classroom: NIDO means "nest" in Italian, which is a learning space designed for babies who can't walk yet. The teaching AIDS in NIDO classroom mainly help the baby's language and movement development, from lying to lying, from sitting to crawling, to standing and walking, and through the operation of teaching AIDS, fine movements are trained, thus improving brain development. IC classroom: The full name is Inf ... Ant Community, which is a learning space specially designed for walking babies. It has language area, sensory area, art area and daily life practice area. IC class allows the baby to operate teaching AIDS freely, learn group cooperation, cultivate concentration from it, and lay a good foundation for arts and sciences learning. Second, inspiring Montessori teaching AIDS The teaching AIDS in the early education classroom are made of high-quality and high-precision Montessori teaching AIDS imported from abroad, selected natural wood and safety coating, and cut by the latest technology. Different from colorful toys, Montessori teaching AIDS are characterized by choosing colors close to raw materials or monochrome, aiming at highlighting learning goals and not confusing babies. For example, the "pink tower" of sensory education is all pink, so that babies can concentrate on exploring the relationship between cubes of different sizes, which is also the principle of isolated learning. Another deep-seated educational intention of Montessori teaching AIDS is to let babies "correct their mistakes" in operation. The design of teaching AIDS will let the baby find out what he has done wrong. By constantly trying and correcting his mistakes, the learning process of self-discovery and self-correction is far more effective and more fulfilling than the teacher pointing at him. Third, in the arrangement of mixed-age study, in addition to the NIDO and IC classrooms according to the baby's monthly development, the class arrangement is to adopt a mixed-age system, with five students and two teachers in one class. Preschool teachers have a bachelor's degree in preschool education and have received professional Montessori education and training. The reason why early childhood classes adopt mixed-age learning is to provide babies with a positive environment for mutual learning and growth. The little baby takes the big baby as the imitation object, and the big baby inspires a sense of honor and responsibility in the process of taking care of the little baby and becomes an example. 1.Kids English is divided into A-F***6 levels according to the learning level, and the course is divided into A-F***6 levels according to the difficulty, and the learning time of each level is 6 months. After completing the CET-6 course, you can take the Cambridge Children's English Certification Entrance Examination. Second, MIC interactive teaching and point reading textbooks The English classroom is equipped with the latest multi-touch electronic whiteboard and multimedia electronic courseware, aiming at enriching classroom activities and interactivity and improving the baby's learning motivation and effect. The teaching materials used in the course are a full set of imported reading materials, so that the baby can review easily through the reading pen when he gets home, and seamlessly connect classroom learning with family review. Third, Chinese and foreign teachers jointly teach children English. The class starts with an excellent class system of 65,438+00 students. This class is jointly taught by Chinese and foreign teachers. Chinese teachers graduated from English-related majors, and foreign teachers came from Britain, the United States, Canada and other countries. Chinese and foreign teachers have rich experience in children's English teaching and understand children's learning psychology.

② A prepared environment is one of the basic conditions of education and the core of Montessori education. What is its specific content?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question:

The preparation environment in Montessori education includes the following main content factors:

First, the concept of freedom.

Dr. Montessori believes that only in a free atmosphere can children reveal their own essence, and adults can observe their interests and activities, understand their personality and development, and improve the environment at any time to meet their needs. In an increasingly interesting environment, children can freely choose the job they are interested in and focus on it, so as to achieve the realm of self-control and self-education, and have the opportunity to understand the influence of behavior on themselves and others, as well as their own abilities and shortcomings. This opportunity of self-knowledge is also the most important result brought by the freedom of Montessori classroom.

The development of social life of intransitive verbs

Environment not only refers to material materials, but also includes people who interact with children, and talents are the main objects of children's learning and absorption, including children's interaction with children and children's interaction with teachers.

1, interaction between children

Montessori education adopts mixed-age classes, that is, children of different ages are mixed in one class.

Nidoban: 2 months-walking independently

Class IC: Walking independently -3 years old

Kasaban: 3-6 years old

In such mixed-age classes, older children will help younger children spontaneously, while younger children can get inspiration and role models from older children's work, which is conducive to the development of their social life. This kind of teaching is very valuable, because the mind of 5-year-old children is closer to that of 3-year-old children than we are, and there is a kind of spiritual "infiltration" between them, which makes it easy for children to learn what we can't teach.

In addition, in a "prepared environment", all the equipment is arranged for children, not adults, who can carry out activities independently and socialize. The taking, putting, using and operating of all kinds of appliances and teaching AIDS in class also follow certain requirements and laws. We should always consider whether it is convenient for others and whether our behavior is civilized, which promotes the development of children's social acquisition.

2. Interaction between children and teachers

Montessori advocated example rather than words. If we want children to talk in a low voice, we can talk to them in a lower voice instead of giving them the order to "speak in a low voice". The decibel of children's speech decreases as the environment becomes quieter. Don't forget the child's absorbing mind. For another example, if you want children to take off their shoes when they enter the door, it is best to put a small space at the door so that they can tidy up and put a small shoe rack for their shoes, instead of letting them look around in their own cabinets.

In a word, the "prepared environment" mentioned by Dr. Montessori is really suitable for children's needs. Children will act according to their own internal needs, development speed and rhythm, and in this process, they will show the quality of loving order, paying attention for a long time, and trying their best to perform certain operations repeatedly without feeling tired, and eventually grow into members of society with excellent quality and wisdom.

I hope the above answers are helpful to you, thank you!
