Founded in 1954 and located at No. 70 Nanyang Road, Jing'an District, Nanyang Experimental Kindergarten is one of the most well-known kindergartens in Jing'an District. In 1980, Nanyang Experiment was rated as a model kindergarten in Shanghai, and it is the teaching practice base of East China Normal University and the training base for early childhood thinking mathematics teachers in Jing'an District. In the course of development over the years, Nanyang Experimental Kindergarten has won collective honors such as Shanghai Garden Unit, Shanghai Civilized Unit, and Shanghai Advanced Collective of Education and Scientific Research.
The environment of Nanshi Garden is clean and tidy, and each activity room is equipped with a washroom and a cloakroom storage room. In order to meet the various interests of children, Nanyang has opened a library, a computer room, a mathematics informal activity room, a structural formula, a clay sculpture room and other special rooms. Due to the long time of running the school, the building is inevitably a little old, but the layout is warm, the space is sufficient, and the overall environment is acceptable.
The Nanyang experiment, which has a history of several decades, has not been infected with the traditional kindergarten conservative and conservative teaching, and as early as 2001, the Montessori education method was introduced to carry out Montessori education, which was ahead of its time at that time. Montessori education is not promoted throughout the park, and Nanyang Experiment has set up another Montessori class and adopted independent enrollment. In addition to the use of teaching aids and mixed-age teaching, other activities in Montessori classes are no different from those in regular classes, including meal making, outings, tea parties, etc.
Nanshi's basic courses include music, sports, life, etc. The Early Childhood Thinking Mathematics course is a special teaching course, and teachers have produced a lot of mathematics game materials, aiming to get rid of the boring image of mathematics, so that children can learn through play and think actively. There are many kindergartens that pay attention to family education, and there are few kindergartens that attach importance to intergenerational education, and Nanshi is one of them. In response to various problems in intergenerational education, Nanyang Experiment has set up lectures to answer common questions and give educational advice.
Nanyang Experiment has set up primary, middle, large and Montessori classes, with a total of 16 classes and 2 teaching departments, enrolling Chinese and foreign children. Chinese children are charged $700 per month for childcare and $1,300 for foreign children, as well as $66 for snacks and $198 for lunch. Parents are very satisfied with the teachers, and some teachers actively communicate with parents by uploading photos of their activities.
