Founded in March 1996, Shenzhen Education Kindergarten is a provincial first-class kindergarten in Shenzhen, the first batch of education and scientific research base schools in Shenzhen, and has repeatedly received preschool education experts at home and abroad on behalf of Shenzhen preschool education institutions. The city education kindergarten currently has two parks, the main park is located in Honghu 5th Street, Luohu District, and the branch park is located in Shenyun Village, Nanshan District.
The Honghu General Park of the Municipal Education Kindergarten has just been rebuilt and repaired two years ago, and the branch park was relocated to Shenyun Village in 2012 to run a school, both parks are very young, and the hardware facilities are difficult to pick: the floor is new and tidy, the classrooms are spacious and bright, and the outdoor activity area is rich in climbing frames, single-plank bridges, rope bridges, bicycles, trampolines, fortress attack and defense, and other game equipment. Especially in the Shenyun Branch, most of the community owners are civil servants, and the composition of the staff is simpler and the management is more orderly.
As the vanguard of preschool education in Shenzhen, the educational concept of the city's education kindergarten is also advanced. The mixed-age system, the class system and the characteristic learning center model are organically integrated into the daily teaching. With the classroom as a unit, the kindergarten has created 12 learning centers, namely the mechanical construction center, the music rhythm center, the life experience center, the art and labor creativity center, the language expression center, etc., the learning center has rich material resources, which can support children to perceive and operate in it. Children of all three grades and different ages are mixed together and have experiential learning in various learning centres in a walk-through fashion. The kindergarten is transformed into a miniature community, where children can not only freely enter the learning center and choose what they want to learn, but also carry out a variety of outdoor activities, planting, raising, cooking, newspaper delivery, cleaning, etc.
In the preschool education stage, the influence of teachers on young children is huge, so the teachers of kindergarten cannot be ignored. The in-service teachers of the city education kindergarten are all bachelor's degrees, including many professionals majoring in preschool education of Beijing Normal University and China Normal University, with an average teaching experience of more than 10 years and rich teaching experience, and parents are generally very satisfied with kindergarten teachers.
There are 12 classes in the three grades of the city education kindergarten, with more than 300 children in the kindergarten, and all children are mixed age classes, with 25 students in each class. Based on the principle of nearby enrollment in Shenzhen, the main population served by the Municipal Education Kindergarten is the school-age children in Honghu Community, Shenyun Village Community and surrounding communities. The average price of houses in Shenyun Village is 72,632 yuan/㎡, and with the increase in the occupancy rate of Shenyun Village in recent years, the difficulty of entering the Shenyun Branch of the Education Kindergarten has also shown a rising trend.
