In the early education world, My Gym Meijim and Gymboree Gymboree, also from the United States, are considered by many people to be the same existence as KFC and McDonald's. In fact, Meijim mainly operates children's gyms in the United States, providing weight loss services for obese children, and in China, Meijim's early education business is very successful. There is even a saying in the circle of parents: if it is a baby girl, send her to Gymboree; If it's a baby boy, send him to Meijim.
There are three types of classes, namely My Gym, My Music and My Art, among which My Gym is famous all over the world, if your baby is lagging in physical coordination or other problems, Meijim will be the most suitable early education center for you. The development of gross motor and fine motor skills is very important for children to develop motor skills in the future, and before the age of 6 is the sensitive period of children's motor development, so it is essential to carry out appropriate motor training for children during the corresponding sensitive period. My Gym is the signature course of Meijim, the biggest feature is its sports and advanced facilities, where you can see a lot of large sports equipment, such as swings, rock climbing, balance beam, etc., which is exactly what other early education centers lack. According to the age of the children, the Meijim Joy Class is divided into eight stages, of which Stage 1 to Stage 5 (0-3.5 years old) requires at least one parent to participate in the class with the baby, and Stage 6 to Stage 8, for children over 3.5 years old, who attend the class alone.
In My Music, Meijim cites Music Together, the best professional early music education program in the United States with a history of 25 years, to develop children's musical literacy in an informal environment through collaboration between the classroom and families. It should be noted that to participate in My Music music lessons, you must purchase additional teaching materials, including CDs, lyrics, sheet music, etc.
Meijim follows a global unified curriculum system, the lesson plan is the same as that in the United States, and generally 1 class is led by two teachers for 10-12 children. Most of the teachers are above the junior college level, mainly in preschool education, and they need to go to the Beijing headquarters for closed training and pass the assessment before they can take up their posts. Bilingual teaching is also used here, but the teacher's English level is average, which is fortunately not very influential.
For hygiene reasons, every parent is required to change into non-slip cotton socks provided by MGM in the shoe changing area, hand sanitizer is available at the door, and visitors are required to have their temperature checked. The closest items to the babies, such as teaching aids and toys that parents care about, will be disinfected after the end of each day.
Meijim currently has 7 early education centers in Guangzhou, the number is not large, the coverage area is small, and there are free trial classes, if you are interested, you can go to the trial experience first.
