As one of the only two private demonstration kindergartens in Shanghai, Children's World Yangpu Kindergarten has naturally attracted the attention of many parents. Founded in 1988, Yangpu Kindergarten is the experimental base of the famous educator Chen Heqin's educational thoughts, and was rated as a public demonstration park in Shanghai in 2002 and transformed into a private kindergarten in 2004. Yangpu Kindergarten features sports and covers half-day, full-day, boarding and childcare. Over the years, Yangpu Kindergarten has won many honors such as Shanghai Sports Advanced Park and Shanghai Excellent Parent School.
Yangpu Kindergarten has good facilities and park environment. The park is divided into more than 10 activity rooms, such as the Wooden Head Intelligent Toy Hall, the Montessori Toy Hall, the Mimi Book House, the Science Room, the Labor Room, and the Performance Room. In terms of sports, outdoor venues include plastic playgrounds, flip music, dinosaur walls and other facilities. Yangpu Kindergarten is not luxurious and very spacious, but it is better than most kindergartens.
Physical activity is relatively important for young children, not only to exercise their bodies, but also to increase interaction and develop communication skills. Yangpu Kindergarten attaches great importance to children's physical activities. Daily outdoor activities are abundant, including "rolling tires", "stepping on stilts", "walking on balance beam", "dinosaur wall climbing", etc., to encourage children to run, jump, kick, pull, etc. Even in summer and rainy days, there is a lot of exercise, and the teacher will lead the children to do activities such as "basketball shooting" and "rope skipping" in the indoor gymnastics room. In addition, Yangpu Kindergarten has also designed its own innovative sports activities such as football drills. Yangpu Kindergarten organizes spring and winter sports meetings and sports weeks to increase children's activity opportunities and cultivate their interest in sports by means of morning exercises, parent-child games, and children's games.
In general, the curriculum of Yangpu Kindergarten is relatively conventional and traditional, with sports as the mainstay. The main activities include safety and health education, role-playing games, painting, chess teaching, etc., which are no different from most kindergartens. The teachers of Yangpu Kindergarten are all college degree or above, and have won awards in a number of teaching competitions, and the overall teaching level is excellent. The team of teachers in Yangpu Kindergarten is not outstanding in terms of academic qualifications and scientific research level, but for preschool teachers, it is more important to be caring, patient and meticulous to children, especially in today's frequent incidents of child abuse. According to parents, the teachers of the kindergarten are considerate, friendly and gentle to their children.
The market competition in private kindergartens is more fierce than that of public kindergartens, and many private kindergartens actively improve the experience of parents to gain a high reputation. Yangpu Kindergarten regularly invites parents to complete teacher questionnaires and satisfaction surveys to understand parents' opinions and suggestions. At the same time, Yangpu Kindergarten let parents know about the situation of the park through open days and other means.
There are many kindergarten classes in Yangpu, including the early education center and the Siping early education garden, there are 3 classes in the kindergarten class, 9 classes in the small class, and 7 classes in the middle class and the large class. The childcare fee for the lot is 800 yuan per month, and the corresponding lots include No. 1-68 Yanji No. 4 Village, No. 1-70 Yanji No. 5 Village and No. 1-21 Yanji No. 6 Village. If there is a balance, supplementary registration will be accepted, and the childcare fee for non-local students is 3,800 yuan per month, and it is constantly rising. For students in the area, it is very cost-effective to study in a private demonstration park with the tuition fee of a public kindergarten, but this also pushes up the price of the school district housing in the area, although the school district house of Yangpu Kindergarten is a residence in the 80s, but as high as 50,000 to 60,000 yuan 1 square meter.
