Yangpu District is undoubtedly the education district of Shanghai, where countless parents have settled in order to obtain a degree, and after the merger of Jing'an District and Zhabei District, the educational strength of the new Jing'an District has been greatly strengthened, and Weihai Road Kindergarten is the best representative of its high-quality preschool education resources. Private kindergartens with the name of Montessori emerge in an endless stream, and some old kindergartens are conservative. Weihai Road Kindergarten, which has a history of 68 years, introduced Montessori education as early as 2001, while retaining traditional courses such as "three-bath exercise" and forming its own educational characteristics. Weihai Road Kindergarten is located at No. 730 Weihai Road, which is one of the few model public kindergartens located in the downtown area.
Weiyou covers an area of 6,748 square meters, with a green area of 2,750 square meters, and has been rated as a greening unit in Shanghai. Large green meadows, winding grape trellises, and promenades flow through the shade of green trees, and children play in the greenery. When spring comes, the wisteria trees are full of flowers, like a mini garden, comfortable and comfortable. In the bustling streets, there is this children's paradise, which is really rare. The indoor space is divided into activity area and living area, and is fully equipped, equipped with auditorium, game room, structure room, operation room, activity room, Montessori teaching hall and other functional rooms.
We implement Montessori education throughout the kindergarten and adopt mixed-age classes, with 1 hour of Montessori activities every day. The younger children in the class carry out individualized activities, including puzzles, art, painting, etc. Older children use Montessori aids in music to explore and discover the meaning of the aids, thus developing concentration, independence, coordination, and more. Montessori is an educational method created by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Maria Montessori, which aims to develop children's own potential by observing children's spontaneous learning behaviors through special teaching aids, environments and professional teachers, generally using mixed-age classes. The Montessori education system is mature, and the teaching effect has been widely verified and has a reputation far away.
Compared with the officially accredited private Montessori kindergartens, the Montessori education of WAYYOUNG is not thorough and professional, but it is far superior to other kindergartens that provide Montessori education. In addition, in view of the actual situation in China, some parents prefer Weihai Road Kindergarten, which is closely integrated with traditional Chinese education. The contrast between the two is also a microcosm of the difference between public and private kindergartens in Shanghai, private kindergartens are more thoroughly practiced in Western-style education concepts, while public kindergartens are more conservative. Some parents prefer pure Western-style education, while some parents prefer a combination of Chinese and Western teaching mode, and it is recommended that parents understand the educational philosophy of each kindergarten in advance before making a choice.
Physical exercise is also the core curriculum of WIC, and in the three-bath exercise, children often bask in the sun outdoors to play games, and then take a bath to exercise. In daily sports, male teachers are responsible for teaching group sports, such as playing ball, relay climbing, etc., while female teachers lead children in low-structure exercises, including morning exercises, running, etc. It is worth mentioning that according to the characteristics of the children, the teachers used various materials such as tires, boxes, and wooden boards to build a lot of large-scale activity equipment, which is more suitable for children. Every week, Weihai Road Kindergarten carries out an independent sports activity, and the park is divided into 20 sports areas, including boxing, pitching, climbing, etc., where children choose their own projects, and most children can find activities of interest.
In the mouths of parents, the teachers of Weiyou are conscientious, patient and meticulous. Teachers require children to master self-care skills, treat them equally, and take good care of children with slightly delayed development. Every week, teachers will provide teaching feedback sheets to inform parents of specific courses, activities, etc., and communicate with their children's problems, which is very intimate.
There are 12 classes in Weiyou, including 10 domestic classes and 2 foreign classes, all of which are Montessori classes. Weiyuan Road Kindergarten in Huangpu District is similar to its name, located at No. 112 Weiyuan Road, please pay attention to the distinction. In 2018, the enrollment scope is residents of Caojiadu, Jing'an Temple, Jiangning, Nanxi, and Shier streets, and computer allocation will be adopted. The enrollment policy of Jing'an District is more complicated, some kindergartens use computer allocation, some independent enrollment, and set up interviews, which are not uniform.
