Do children need to attend early education classes? How to choose an early education class for your baby?
First of all, Gymboree came to answer whether early education should go to an early education class.

The idea of a good mother is: if the economic ability and time permit, let the children try; But if you don't have enough money, it's hard to arrange time, and don't be forced, because early education doesn't mean attending early education classes.

Make your point, and then formally say:

1. What is the theoretical basis of early education?

Scientific research shows that children's brain development is the fastest in the first three years of life, especially in the first year, the brain has grown from 370 grams to 1200 grams, and nearly 80% of the development has been completed. Another is adolescence, and the brain develops rapidly. Therefore, we should grasp the key of children's early education in the first three years.

According to the theory of early education, although people's brain capacity and IQ have great genetic factors at birth, they can increase the neuronal pathways in the human brain through stimulation. When a baby is born, the connected neurons are very rare and will become more and more dense with age. When children grow up, the connections between neurons are not as dense as in the previous stage, but stronger. At this time, the neurons that babies often use are gradually strengthened. Early education is to increase the connection between neurons.

2. What is the content of the early education class?

Almost all early education centers have free experience classes. Parents who have tried it must know that early education classes, whether imported from China or abroad, are run through games, and the intuitive feeling is "playing". This also shows that our early education does not mean learning knowledge. The real early education does not emphasize what the baby learns, but promotes the baby's brain development through external sensory stimulation. This kind of sensory stimulation is mainly achieved through sports, activities and games. The full name of "early education" should be "early physical education"

3. Is the child smart after attending the early education class?

Because everyone has different definitions of "intelligence", they have different expectations for early education. The fundamental purpose of early education is not to make children get full marks in exams, but to make children develop more soundly.

At every growth stage of a baby, you will encounter different developmental obstacles. The most common problems of 0-6-year-old babies can be divided into the following categories: turning over late, not being able to climb, walking unsteadily, being afraid of big sports, underdeveloped fine sports, lagging language development, bad habits and serious emotions. Many parents will attribute these problems to the fact that children are still young and will grow up, but in fact these problems will really have a great impact on their future lives.

Parents can recall whether they or their classmates and friends around them have personally experienced such a situation when they were growing up: holding a pen incorrectly, putting their hands on the table to write, but their bodies deviated from the table, seriously carsick, standing still, turning straight, etc. These problems still exist even in many adults.

According to the theory of early education, these problems are caused by the failure to fully stimulate and inhibit human primitive reflex in infancy (for example, motion sickness is caused by insufficient vestibular stimulation in the inner ear; Incorrect pen holding posture may be due to insufficient inhibition of grasping reaction). Early education is to exercise babies by exercising and stimulating the five senses, so as to avoid these problems as much as possible.

4. So children still have to attend early education classes?

In fact, our parents have misunderstandings about early education. Early education does not mean attending early education classes. Good mother, I often say to my parents and friends half jokingly, "Are you an early education teacher?" You didn't teach your children to call "mom", and you didn't teach them to eat. "I always tell my parents and friends that the teachers of early education should be our parents. Our parents should instinctively assume the role of the first teacher of early childhood education, instead of pinning their hopes on early childhood education classes.

At present, many of our early education institutions teach 1~2 times a week for 45 minutes, mainly to teach children, but good mothers think that "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish", so our early education classes should actually focus on teaching parents. Our parents and friends should know more about early education by themselves.

5. Why do good mothers say that economy and time allow children to try?

According to the good mother's experience in early education institutions over the years and her understanding with parents of children, the good mother summed up several points, and the early education class has some intuitive benefits. (Let me explain here that the early education institutions I contacted were mainly Montessori education. )

(1) Children's sense of order: put the things in the bag back; In class, I know how to clap my hands and sit still;

(2) Children's understanding of teachers: Traditional teachers are at least good mothers. We teachers who came into contact with the post-80s generation are dignified and naturally have a distance. However, teachers from early education institutions play games with us. At this time, children will like to play with teachers and think they are bosom sisters.

(3) Children's cognition of things: The advantage of the early education class is that it is systematic and will bring toys suitable for children's age, which will make children more willing to contact and explore some new things. For example, a child 12 months likes to buckle holes. At this time, we can provide him with something with a hole, let him buckle it himself and tell him the word "hole".

(4) For parents, there is a social circle: a good mother thinks that it is lonely to take care of children alone, so we need little sisters in the same situation to talk and study together. This is actually a process of self-release. Many times, it is inevitable that we will be upset when facing children, but we will not be calm when we know that everyone is like this. A mother's good mood will naturally have a positive impact on her children.

6, since there are still these benefits, if you don't let your child go because of your own economic reasons, isn't it very sorry for your child?

Parents and friends should never think so. Hao Bao, we didn't attend the early education class either. As I said above, parents should instinctively undertake their children's early education teachers. Education for children should start from the age of 0, that is, from birth, parents should try their best to provide their children with rich visual, auditory, tactile, sports, spatial changes, language input and other stimuli, so that children can feel loved, valued, understood, safe, confident and happy. This is the meaning of early education. Don't go to any early education to do this.

7. What should I pay attention to when choosing an early education class for my child?

Good mothers generally don't want to talk, so let's have some grounding gas!

1, language environment: Gymboree pure English, for example; Mygym combines Chinese and English (Jiangyin is like this, the English teacher speaks English, and then the Chinese teacher translates); Red, yellow and blue baby-friendly courses are actually similar, and everyone in China has them. I can only smile bitterly if I want my children to learn English well through early education classes. My idea is: if there is an environment at home, learn English. If not, then speak Chinese.

2. Environment: Many parents choose to pay attention to the high-grade decoration, but a good mother thinks this is not the most important. The most important thing is air circulation. Many organizations are located in shopping malls. Generally, the higher the mall goes, the worse the air and the higher the temperature, especially in winter. Staying for a long time is sultry and uncomfortable. In the classroom, the situation is even worse. Generally, there are 8- 10 children, at least one parent and at least two teachers, so the number exceeds 20. Sometimes after a class, children's little faces are as red as monkey's ass because of lack of oxygen.

3. Teacher qualification level: Many times our parents often ask when consulting, what is your teacher's major? The answer is often: "unified training at headquarters." Good mother is going to laugh again. Teach you a trick: "Can you show me the teacher's diploma?" ? Do you have a certificate of headquarters training? Can I have a look? "I don't want to say that teachers are experts, but at least we should know our children. The little girl who just graduated is neither an education major nor a training, but she will teach after five days of training, so I won't talk about it.

4. Talk to the teacher about the concept of curriculum: this is very important. First, we should know the professional level of teachers. Second, we should know whether these courses are suitable for children. Because every child is different, just cherish it. Compared with children of the same age, she is slower, turns over flexibly in 6-7 months, and crawls in 10 months. Now she is 16544. Because the early education class is public as a whole, according to the early education class, Haobao should go to work now.

8. Early education classes are expensive. The more you report, the more cost-effective the unit price is. How long will it take?

This question is generally based on economy, so local tyrants will automatically skip it. Good mother understands that the basic price of early education center is very high. Here are a few money-saving strategies: 1, pay attention to the regular activities of the early education class you choose, don't float on the surface, and find out what the unit price is; 2. Have a good relationship with the consultant. If you communicate the price directly, you should be reasonable. I hope she can help you apply for a discount and convey your determination to sign up, as long as the price is reasonable; If you can't repay the price, you can ask her the unit price of the longest card, and then ask for it on this basis. 4. I suggest that you don't take too long to report for class, and don't be greedy for a short time, because the business of early education institutions is too strong now, and you can ask for follow-up to make up the difference.

Finally, a good mother still said, "Baby is the most important career in a mother's life. We should learn about children's early education ourselves and don't pin our hopes on others. "
