Founded in 1983 in California, USA, My Gym is "younger" than Gymboree, but its development momentum has caught up, and now has more than 500 early childhood education centers in 31 countries and regions around the world, which has surpassed Gymboree. In the domestic market, the development of Meijim also shows a good trend, and it has become the "double hero" of the early education industry with Gymboree.
The core business of the U.S. Meijim is the children's gym, which is committed to solving the problems of obese children. Therefore, among the three courses of Meijim (My Gym, My Music, and My Art), the music class is the most praised. The course is divided into seven stages according to the age of the month, with Stages 1 to 5 (0-3.5 years old) for both parents and babies to participate in the course, and Stages 6 and 7 (3.5 to 8 years old) for independent participation. The biggest feature of this course is the abundance of movement and facilities, which helps the baby to make a perfect transition from toddler to jumping, jumping, throwing and other big movements. Sports facilities such as swings, rock climbing, and balance beams are also difficult to find in other early childhood education institutions. We understand that gross and fine motor skills are important for children to develop motor skills later in life, so if your baby has a problem with lagging limb coordination, then it is the best choice.
My Music music lessons are based on the American Music Together curriculum system and the original curriculum. With a history of nearly 30 years, the program cultivates children's musical literacy through a series of musical activities such as beat practice and singing without lyrics. It should be noted that to participate in My Music music lessons, you must purchase additional teaching materials, including CDs, lyrics, sheet music, etc. My Art stimulates your baby's imagination and creativity through activities such as painting, sculpture and architecture.
Like Gymboree, the Meijim curriculum system is also globally unified. Each class is led by two teachers (a bishop and a teaching assistant) for 10-12 families. In China, bishops in many centers are foreign religions. Compared with other parts of the country, Meijim teachers in Beijing have higher requirements, usually have a bachelor's degree, and can only be employed after 4-6 months of training.
Meijim also has more than 20 chain centers in Beijing, mainly concentrated within the Fifth Ring Road, which will be inconvenient for parents and babies in the suburbs. Parents don't need to worry about the hygiene of Meijim, and each center usually spends one day a week behind closed doors for sterilization and disinfection. Your baby's temperature will be taken before class, and visitors will need to change their non-slip socks when they enter. Some centers are also equipped with air purifiers. CapitaLand Crystal Center in Haidian is a new store of Meijim, where the equipment is brand new and refreshing, and there is no need to worry about formaldehyde. The consultant will answer the parents' questions carefully, and there is no excessive sales nature. The classroom atmosphere of Meijim is more active than that of Gymboree, and babies can often be seen chasing and jumping between them, completely immersed in the world of play.
