A safe and warm environment
(1) security
The early education center should provide facilities suitable for the baby's body shape and physical activity characteristics, such as small toilets and small sinks, for the baby to wash. There should be a diaper table, nursing room or shower equipment, which is convenient.
Parents take care of their babies; The wall surface should be installed with flexible wallboard. This way, even if the baby hits the corner, it will not hurt; The sports ground should be covered with sponge mats or plastic floors, so that even if the baby falls, it will not be injured. The furniture in the activity room should be round; Toys should be large in size to prevent the baby from plugging the five senses, and hot water and power should be kept away from the baby. The early education center should have a strict disinfection system. After each activity, the staff must scrub the activity room with disinfectant, disinfect the toys, and regularly disinfect the air in the activity room.
(2) warmth
The early education center should create an environment full of family atmosphere for the baby, and provide corresponding facilities, such as diaper table, trolley parking place, adult shoe changing and bag delivery place, tea, sofa and other facilities. In the environment, we provide things that Bob is familiar with and likes, such as plush toys, inflatable smiling dolls, goldfish bowls, baby photo walls, small wooden horses and so on. During the transition and waiting period of the activity, a rest area should be created for the baby and parents for parents to exchange their parenting experiences.
Second, experienced and caring teachers.
1. Experience
Most of the teachers in the general early education center come from the team of nurses in nurseries and kindergartens. After nurse training and other related training, I undertake the education and parental guidance for infants aged 0-3, and have experience in educating younger infants. Some early education centers have a variety of teachers according to the different curriculum. For example, teachers with music characteristics generally graduate from music-related majors, while teachers with sports characteristics may have specialties in yoga and dance.
2. Love
The younger the baby, the greater the individual differences and developmental specificity. All the staff of the early education center should have good professionalism, enthusiasm, love and patience. Generally, the early education center will provide an audition for one class hour, and parents can carefully observe the teachers or staff on the spot. Do they love their babies and understand their psychology? Can you organize activities in a way that your baby likes to play? Have you had a good communication and interaction with your baby? Can you give your baby some pertinent suggestions for development in some aspects after exercise?
Third, parents' strategies.
When parents choose an early education center for their baby, they can choose it in several steps. First of all, they will summarize the collected information in their minds and initially identify several early education centers that they are interested in. Then they will go to these places for field trips, make some records, make comprehensive consideration and make the final choice.
(1) understanding and introductory stage
Parents in the process of checking the early education center, might as well try to do this:
* Ask the staff of the early education center for enrollment information and introduction;
* Observe whether the facilities and equipment of the early education center are safe, hygienic and warm;
* Through talking with the staff, I learned something I didn't know before, such as the educational concept, system, characteristics, activity time and fees of the center;
* Hearing is empty. When choosing an early education center, you can talk to the parents who have been here and get to know the reputation of the institution.
* Feel how far it is to and from the early education center, and whether the baby can adapt. It is best not to drive home from the activity place of the early education center for more than half an hour. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth every time, and the baby will be physically and mentally exhausted, and the interest and quality of learning will be discounted.
If you can't make a field trip, you can also learn about it through the platform of Youzao Education Network (www.uzaojiao.com), and make a professional comparison in terms of its word-of-mouth comments, the professionalism of users' answers, and the teaching staff of teachers. At the same time, you can also understand its brand.
(2) Select the registration stage
After understanding and field survey, parents can comprehensively analyze the collected information, choose the appropriate early education center according to the baby's specific situation, and then make an appointment to take the baby to register.
When signing up, you should go with your baby and bring the materials prescribed by the early education center, such as your baby's birth certificate, household registration book or passport.
(3) Registration and payment
The general early education center will directly tell parents whether to enroll after registration, and agree with parents on the specific time and cost of baby registration. Parents only need to go through the relevant formalities according to the agreement, and then they can take their baby to the early education center to participate in activities.
Some early education centers will issue admission notices after registration, telling parents how to handle relevant procedures and how to hold parent-teacher conferences. At the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher will introduce in detail the baby's preparations for participating in the activities in the early education center and the collective requirements in the activities. Parents may wish to make some records, so that they can better accompany their babies to participate in activities.
Precautions:
You need to make an appointment to register at the early education center or register for payment. If you can't go temporarily, please be sure to get in touch with the early education center and reschedule. If you don't go to the early education center to go through the relevant formalities according to the agreed time, the general early education center will be regarded as giving up automatically.
