Choosing the right kindergarten for your baby is the most important concern for parents. From the moment the baby is born, parents start thinking about what kind of kindergarten to choose for their child. So, what kind of kindergarten is most suitable for the intellectual development of the baby? Let's take a look together.
When choosing a kindergarten for your baby, parents must consider the following aspects:
1. Whether there is an advanced educational philosophy.
The talents we cultivate are the construction talents of the 21st century, and they should be international talents with comprehensive abilities. Therefore, it requires kindergartens to have advanced educational philosophies. Advanced philosophies determine the correct educational goals, advanced teaching models, and scientific teaching methods. Only in this way can education be aligned with international education and focus on the future development of children and the needs of modernization.
2. Whether there are standardized management measures.
Standardized management is a necessary measure to ensure the implementation of educational philosophies and the achievement of goals. It includes perfect rules and regulations (safety management, hygiene management, teaching management, resource management, etc.) and effective supervision measures. Only in this way can the educational work of the kindergarten be carried out smoothly and with high quality and efficiency.
3. Whether there are complete teaching facilities.
Complete teaching facilities are basic requirements for a kindergarten. First, it must have buildings that meet the requirements (through quality inspections, fire inspections, relatively independent, no more than three floors, complete functional rooms - health care room, duty room, classrooms, multi-purpose rooms, large activity halls, etc., with a reasonable layout and no safety hazards). At the same time, it must have necessary canteen facilities (meal preparation room, freezer, disinfection cabinet, fly-killing lamps, raw and cooked cutting boards, necessary stoves, tableware, various washing sinks, smoke exhaust, drainage equipment, etc.). It should also have safe large-scale toys (large building blocks, comprehensive play frames including slides, climbing, balancing, swings, suspension bridges, etc.) and scientific teaching facilities (qualified kindergarten desks and chairs, toy cabinets, desktop toys, etc.).
4. Whether there is a stable teaching staff.
The stability of the teaching staff directly affects the smooth progress of the educational work. A stable teaching staff is a necessary guarantee for improving the overall quality of teachers. It not only reflects the management level and efficiency of the kindergarten, but also reflects the recognition of the kindergarten by parents and teachers.
5. Whether there is a beautiful indoor and outdoor environment.
A beautiful learning environment is an indispensable condition for an ideal kindergarten. An ideal outdoor environment means no pollution, no noise, no safety hazards, a large green area, exquisite landscaping, large activity areas, and reasonable allocation of large toys. An ideal indoor environment means good ventilation, good lighting, child-friendly and exquisite environment, orderly placement of items, and good hygiene.
6. Whether there is a distinct educational feature.
A distinct educational feature not only reflects the uniqueness of the kindergarten, but also indicates that the kindergarten is vibrant and has an innovative spirit. To understand the features, it is necessary to see if they contribute to the comprehensive and healthy development of children, if they are distinct and prominent and have achieved a certain scale, and if they are effective and have significant results.
7. Whether there is an excellent professional principal.
As people often say, "A good principal means a good school," the same applies to kindergartens - "A good principal means a good kindergarten." An excellent principal is characterized by strong professional qualities, an innovative spirit, meticulous work, decisive and fair decision-making, love and affinity, leading by example, keen insight, and self-reflection.
Issues to consider when choosing a kindergarten
1. Choose a kindergarten nearby if possible (short distance for drop-off and pick-up, ensuring sufficient sleep for the child).
2. Visit the kindergarten in person, preferably with your child, and pay attention to their feelings.
3. Listen to different opinions about the kindergarten and avoid being biased.
