Park registration is just around the corner. Choose a public park or a private park for your child? What are the advantages and limitations of private operation? Are there any parents who have studied in public and private international schools to talk about their experiences? ……
In order to analyze this problem objectively, comprehensively and in detail, "Big Hands Hold Small Hands" made a very serious investigation before, and recently added information again for your reference!

Some even wrote more than 1000 words.
We selected some of them for publication.
Perhaps in vivid and real details.

1. How expensive is the tuition in private kindergartens?
Go to your city.
Tuition fees in private kindergartens are increasing year by year. Let's take 20 17 as an example.
(This data is for reference only, subject to the official announcement of the kindergarten)
In fact, private kindergartens are different. Generally speaking, the tuition fee is 3,000 to 5,000 yuan for the first grade, 8,000 yuan for the first grade, and15,000 yuan for the first grade. There is a difference between software and hardware. For example, the concept of bilingualism is the same. Some teachers may teach English by themselves, some foreign teachers may have classes 1-3 times a week, and some have foreign teachers. Only from the perspective of language environment, the effect is definitely different.
However, compared with the tuition fee of several hundred yuan, it is estimated that many people will consider whether it is worthwhile to spend so much money on private operation.
There is no standard answer to this question, but you can get some useful information from the personal experience provided by the parents in this interview.

2. What do private kindergartens teach?

First, post a long-term schedule of kindergarten classes for the next semester to feel it ~
The following is the information shared by the parents in the group. We omitted the name of the specific kindergarten.
We study in a small class in a very ordinary second-class private park, with 20 minutes of foreign teachers' classes every week. At present, the others are nothing academic. When you reach the middle class, you can choose to enroll in interest classes such as dancing, painting, piano and guzheng.
The middle class has three English classes a week from the small class, as well as math and reading, and the big class will also teach pinyin. Interest classes include dancing and the like, without extra charge. I think the tuition is worth it, and I don't intend to enroll in extracurricular classes.
We are an ordinary second-class private park with a tuition fee of 4000 yuan. Speaking of textbooks, some kindergarten teachers have two English classes a week, using the textbook of tree house, thinking is the star of the East, and it is said that there will be logic dogs. When you enter a small class, you will have graded reading chinese, using Shuangmei. Similarly, you will be taught to read from the beginning of small classes, and you will have English homework to finish every Friday. When I get to the big class, I will also hold an interest class in Olympic Mathematics. The progress is also quite fast, and some teachers who have no time to teach will be treated as homework for parents to cooperate.
We graduated last year and studied in an ordinary private park. Teachers are very kind to children and are satisfied with the cultivation of study habits and cognitive ability. There are two sets of English textbooks, Shuangmei and Yi Bei. Shuangmei teaches foreign teachers once a week for half an hour at a time. Ebay has a foreign teacher class every day for half an hour. Chinese is mainly the cultivation of language expression ability, and mathematics is mainly official document mathematics and Montessori mathematics. In large classes, special young bridging classes will be held, such as painting red.
The big class has English, reading, mathematics and painting classes every week, and the big class begins to teach hard-pen calligraphy, pinyin and football and other special physical education class. The middle class began to take interest classes, including one-on-one piano.
The middle class signed up for the roller skating fixed interest course, and the elective interest courses include dance, Lego, Roland digital music, Montessori mathematics, magic monkey, art, literacy and so on.
We have a real skating rink and piano lessons taught by teachers of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. There is a China teacher and a foreign teacher in each class, and there are 20 students in each class. When you graduate, make sure to add or subtract within 100, and you will naturally spell it independently.
Our kindergarten has piano lessons every day, five days a week, of which 1 day is a bishop class, and the other four days are sparring classes, each child has 30 minutes.

Small classes are 5000/ month, and middle classes are 7000/ month, but every conceivable interest class park has after-school delayed classes.
Well-known private bilingual small class, learning a lot, playing the piano one-on-one for 20 minutes every day, the interest classes are martial arts, ballet, logical thinking, literacy, painting, Lego, and the English class is a foreign teacher. I felt very good at first and taught a lot, but after a semester, I found that the effect was very weak. English is mainly taught by parents themselves or outside, so it is difficult to see the feedback from all courses. Now only the piano can really read music and play simple songs. The tuition fee is about 5000, and there are 28 students in the class. At the beginning of this semester, four children have transferred to public schools. I will choose public schools as my second baby.
Large classes, foreign teachers and Chinese teachers have an English class every day, as well as math and Chinese classes. Mathematics teaches addition and subtraction within 20 minutes, can be arranged vertically, and also teaches thinking. China students study pinyin, Chinese characters and poetry, as well as music, painting, common sense, karate, Go and ballet. Before studying in a private school, I thought there were more teachers in the park, so I could sign up for fewer training courses outside, but in fact, in this big environment, I still want to keep raising chickens at home. But if the kindergarten is enlightened well, it is relatively easier to teach at home. For example, English pronunciation in kindergartens is quite standard under the guidance of foreign teachers. The training institutions outside have two classes a week, and kindergartens have them every day. It may be better to review repeatedly like this.
I saw many parents think that private enterprises below 5000 are definitely not as good as public enterprises. Let me share it. My family is private, less than 5000 yuan. At present, it is a big class, 20 minutes a day, one way. I am very satisfied, and my sister plans to send it this year.
The teaching is comprehensive, although it should take care of the level of most children, and the depth is not as deep as that of outside institutions, but it basically covers Montessori's basic ideas, mathematics, Chinese (literacy, ancient poetry), English (foreign teachers who work for one hour), physical exercise and diversified activities.
I was lucky to meet a very strict head teacher and a very motivated teaching teacher. There are more chickens in our family, teachers are more encouraging and children's self-confidence is better protected.
But then again, whether the kindergarten is good or not actually has a lot to do with how much parents pay. I have seen public kindergartens teach well, and I have seen tens of thousands of kindergartens teach badly. Parents attach great importance to it, and teachers will pay more attention to it.
My parents and I are in different campuses of the same private kindergarten, but they are completely different. Teachers teach almost nothing, and Montessori is free time. I think the time in kindergarten is quite deserted, so as soon as I have time, I will pick it up in the afternoon and do 100 things by myself.
