Kindergarten is a kind of pre-school education institution, which is used for centralized care and education of young children. It usually accepts children aged three to six. But what is the recent difficulty of entering school? Now let me tell you the reason why it is difficult to enter kindergarten!
1. Family reasons
(1) Parents are becoming more and more conformity. Today's parents don't want their children to lose at the "starting line", and pay great attention to the choice of their children's first school, which makes high-quality public kindergartens and some well-known private kindergartens become the goal of parents, and then form a bad atmosphere of following the trend and comparison among parents.
(2) Many people are superstitious about zodiac signs and consider the year, resulting in the phenomenon of getting together for the birth of their children.
(3) Most parents believe that only public kindergartens have formal management, standardized teaching, hardware facilities and Teacher Allocation higher than private kindergartens, indicating that traditional ideas are deeply rooted in their minds.
2. Government reasons
(1) Some new cities pursue high-speed development, and the construction layout of many places is unreasonable.
(2) Although the state pays more and more attention to preschool education, in fact, the guarantee mechanism for preschool education is not perfect. There are relatively few public kindergartens. Generally speaking, the government does not pay enough attention to it.
(3) For a long time, the welfare treatment of preschool teachers has not been truly implemented. Some excellent graduates are unwilling to engage in this industry. The quality of some preschool teachers is not high, and the construction and management of some teachers are not standardized.
3. Social reasons
(1) In recent years, China's open "two child" policy has led to a rapid increase in the number of young children.
City migrant workers are pouring into cities, and there are migrant children left behind. The number of school-age children without registered residence has also increased greatly, resulting in huge pressure for admission to the city. 2.
4. Kindergarten's own reasons
(1) The quality of some preschool teachers is not high, which leads to the low quality of education.
(2) Some kindergartens focus on the external decoration of the park, and do not start from the aspect of education quality, which leads to the flashy construction of kindergartens.
School selection considerations
Knowing the difference between public and private kindergartens, I believe parents will still be confused about the selection of kindergartens. Then, cradle, I will provide you with some more specific suggestions on the selection of kindergartens.
1. Clarify your needs
Before sending your child to kindergarten, you should first understand your needs and what you want your child to learn in kindergarten? What expectations do you have for kindergarten? Do you want your children to be bilingual? Or is life well taken care of? Or do you want to cultivate your expertise in some aspect? Choose a suitable kindergarten for children in combination with the actual situation of children, as well as the school running purpose and characteristics of the kindergarten.
2. Location considerations
Combined with the practical experience of many mothers, it is very important to choose a kindergarten close to home. If you spend about 1 or 2 hours on the road every day, it will have a great impact on children aged 3-4. Moreover, once the child is ill or other emergencies occur in the kindergarten, it will be much more convenient to be close.
3. Investigate the reputation of kindergartens
Before going to kindergarten, you can have detailed communication with parents in kindergarten. Their statement is the most direct and authentic feedback, which is better than other side understanding. If conditions permit, it is recommended to go directly to the classroom to feel the teaching atmosphere. Is the child restrained when doing activities? Whether they can spontaneously and effectively integrate into the activities and the evaluation of children are the most valuable opinions.
4. Understand the quality of Teachers
Before entering the kindergarten, you can communicate and exchange with the dean of the kindergarten and teachers in advance to have an early understanding of the teachers' school running philosophy and basic quality. From the tone and actions in the daily communication between teachers and children, we can also see whether teachers are loving and responsible.
5. Refer to hardware environment facilities
The hardware and supporting handouts of kindergartens are the most basic conditions. During the inspection, we should not only look at the site and equipment, but also pay attention to whether children are allowed to use them frequently and whether their safety conditions are qualified.
6. Understand the charges
The charging standard of kindergarten is also one of the key points for parents to refer to. Private kindergartens, in particular, charge from hundreds to thousands, with prices ranging from. Parents should choose appropriate kindergartens according to their actual situation and within the scope they can afford. In order for children to learn some special skills or knowledge, it is not necessary to spare the efforts of the whole family and spend sky high school selection fees or tuition fees.
1. Prepare a small schoolbag for your baby. Don't forget the Embroidered Name. Inside, you can put your baby's favorite small book or a small toy. Familiar items will reduce your baby's psychological pressure in a strange environment.
2. Embroider the baby's clothes, shoes and other items with names or signs, and let the baby recognize them, so that the baby can distinguish his own items in collective life.
3. Prepare one or two sets of clean clothes and trousers for your baby. Remember to write your name and put it in the kindergarten. Babies often pee their pants because of anxiety or playfulness, so that teachers can replace clean clothes and pants for babies in time.
4. When choosing clothes and shoes for your baby, don't be too novel and exciting. Small pockets that can shout, bright shoes and interesting beads will make your baby's attention focus there, which will affect your baby's interest in participating in collective activities. Some of them also have some unsafe factors. For example, the baby likes to put the dropped beads in his mouth and ears.
5. The size of shoes should be appropriate and suitable for the baby's sports as far as possible, so as to ensure the baby's safety in collective activities.
6. When the baby doesn't learn to tie his shoes, try to wear less shoes with shoelaces. If the shoelaces are loose, it is easy for the baby to fall. You can choose zipper shoes or loop shoes.
7. Don't forget to prepare a safety pin for your baby and fasten a clean handkerchief to him every day.
8. Try not to hang pendants, gold lock pieces, bracelets, etc. these items will bring inconvenience to the baby's activities. At the same time, there are also unsafe factors.
9. Guide the baby to try to take off his shoes and clothes, and don't forget to praise the baby's progress from time to time.
Garden house equipment
The park should be located in a quiet place with fresh air. There should be flowers and trees in the park to let children get close to nature.
The activity room should be lively, lovely and changeable. It should have three conditions: sufficient light, ventilation and soft color. Tables and chairs should be suitable for children's height. The corners of tables and chairs should be round and the materials should be firm and durable; Pay attention to the safety of the game place. It's best to use grass or wood, and avoid cement and waxed ground.
Toys, equipment and instruments should be enlightening and less dangerous. Bungalows are preferred in the garden. If it is impossible to do it indoors, attention should also be paid to safety facilities, such as the safety of windows and stairs.
Teaching aspect
Early childhood education is a kind of pre-school education. Observe whether your favorite kindergarten allows children to write and read like primary school students. If so, it will really kill children's interest in learning - starting classroom teaching too early will cause children's disgust and hurt their wrist muscles. Some children have the psychology of "I can do it" because they have learned the first grade courses in kindergarten, I didn't study hard in primary school. Therefore, kindergarten teaching should be different from school teaching, and pay attention to the balance of morality, intelligence and body through games, music and painting. Word recognition should not occupy the leading position of teaching.
Home school contact
Kindergartens should keep close contact with each baby's family. Only in this way can we really understand the child's real personality and life situation, and give correct guidance according to people. Moreover, parents can learn about their children's learning and living conditions and existing problems in the kindergarten through contact with kindergarten teachers, so as to help teachers solve them together.
When parents visit the kindergarten, they can ask to see the baby's family manual, family visit records and other activity records in the kindergarten, and listen to the opinions of the baby's parents in the kindergarten to determine whether the kindergarten is qualified.
Disputes in kindergartens, conflicts caused by kindergartens taking prescription drugs for children without permission, news on March 12, 2014, Xi'an. The child came back from kindergarten and said that the teacher asked him to take a white pill. The parents inquired on the Internet and learned that the medicine the child took was called "morpholine guanidine hydrochloride tablets", commonly known as "virus spirit". The news spread in the kindergarten QQ group. It turned out that most children in the kindergarten had taken this medicine, "why take medicine for children?" Parents find the kindergarten and wait for a reasonable explanation.
Avoid several kindergartens
1. Kindergartens solely for profit: the organizers and competent departments of such kindergartens need to consider, the facilities are not complete, or even unsafe at all, the quality and sense of responsibility of teachers are not enough, and there are arbitrary charges.
2. Kindergartens that cannot give children full play: kindergartens are too cramped and narrow, and teachers imprison children's actions too much.
3. Kindergartens that are too strict with children: this kind of strictness may come from the "kindergarten training" of the kindergarten, that is, they hope to put forward strict requirements for children and achieve the purpose of cultivating children. It may also be that the temper and character of a teacher leave a less amiable impression. This requires careful investigation and patient identification.
