Yanji Kindergarten emphasizes active activity education, that is, children as the main body, actively participate in activities and actively understand information, rather than simply passively absorbing knowledge. To this end, Yanji has put a lot of effort into the creation of the environment and the design of the curriculum. The kindergarten has set up special activity rooms such as creative room, construction room, wisdom house, living hall, exploration room and music room to meet the various interests and needs of children and enable them to actively participate in activities. At the same time, experiential courses are carried out so that children can actively explore and understand nature, society, culture and themselves in a variety of experiences such as getting close to nature, contact with society, understanding culture, and social interaction.
Yanji Kindergarten has recently adjusted its sports venues, laying artificial turf in the playground and a plastic track for older children. At the same time, the playground is equipped with sports facilities that meet the needs of all ages, including large toys and climbing frames. At the same time, the kindergarten uses corridors and halls to create indoor spaces suitable for children's activities, so that children can keep moving on rainy days, hot days and days with severe air pollution.
Many kindergartens only regard parent-child activities or family education as secondary work, while Yanji kindergarten regards it as a regular work and attaches great importance to it, and is rated as an excellent parent-child guidance station in the judging district. Yanji Kindergarten has done a lot of work in this regard, one is to organize a number of parent-child activities, including parent-child outings, museum tours, parent-child games, handicrafts, etc.; The second is to strengthen the connection between the home, carry out various forms of tutoring guidance such as discriminative parent-teacher meetings, parents into the classroom, story mothers and other activities, and also set up a parent volunteer team to let parents understand and participate in campus work; The third is to guide family education, and the kindergarten and Yanji community are jointly open to more than 400 families to guide their parent-child activities, which is known as the Shanghai Model Community Parent-Child Club. However, frequent parent-child activities are somewhat inconvenient for parents who are busy with work.
