Gymboree (Wanliu Center) - Institutional Reviews

Founded in the United States in 1976, Gymboree has gone through more than 40 years and has developed into a world-class early education brand in more than 40 countries and regions. Since entering China in 2003, there are now more than 300 early education centers in China, which has become a model for many careful early education institutions in China to learn and imitate.

Gymboree's core curriculum is Edutainment, Music and Art. The class is divided into seven stages according to the age of the month, and more than 10 families are led by 2 teachers to provide age-appropriate and interesting games for babies to explore their sense of space and body control. It also allows parents to discover the special features of their babies in the game. Music lessons are divided into three levels. Through 20 music styles and a variety of musical instruments, in singing, dancing and other performance forms, stimulate your baby's musical potential. Art classes are also divided into three levels, starting with 18-month-old babies. In this regard, Gymboree has a variety of forms and will provide a large number of artistic tools or materials to improve the baby's hands-on ability and aesthetic ability in the creative process. The Global Baby Program is a feature of Gymboree, which allows babies to travel to 24 countries around the world before the age of 5, and is a good choice for parents who like to collect "stamps" in their passports.

The high overall quality of the instructors is also one of Gymboree's strengths. The information about the instructors is open and transparent, and you can see that some teachers majoring in music, foreign languages and art work for Gymboree. Pre-job training is also the focus of Gymboree, all instructors need two to three months of training, and they can only take up their posts after passing the assessment. Even so, you still need to have one year of teaching assistant qualifications to become a bishop teacher, followed by an annual assessment, which can be described as very strict. In Gymboree's view, the professionalism of music teachers is extremely important, and the main teachers are not only required to graduate from music-related majors, but also need to pass various assessment tests including sound quality, pitch, and model singing.

Thanks to the huge scale of Gymboree worldwide, its curriculum system is not only consistent, but also has a unique visiting system, once you become a member of Gymboree, you can enjoy two courses in any branch of the world.

At present, there are more than 20 Gymboree early education centers in Beijing, covering almost every district. Among them, Huilongguan Center, Dongcheng Center, and Chongwenmen New World Center are the most popular. Generally, the center will be equipped with floor heating and fresh air system, and the hygiene situation has also been affirmed by many parents. When you enter a Gymboree, you will find that the interior atmosphere is very warm. In the classroom, the instructor leads the baby to the class with the parents, and the baby learns to do various body movements under the protection of the parents. The dean will greet every parent cordially during the visit, which shows that he is very familiar. It is not uncommon for the elderly to bring their children to class or to play, and in Gymboree, parents no longer need to worry about their baby's preschool development.

It is worth mentioning that in 2017, Gymboree children's clothing declared bankruptcy in the United States, but in fact, Gymboree's early education business has long been independent of the group, and parents do not need to worry about this issue.
