Located in Zhoujiazui Road, Yangpu District, the private science and technology kindergarten was transformed into a private kindergarten in 2004, featuring science and technology education. The Science and Technology Kindergarten has been awarded the titles of Shanghai First-Class Kindergarten, Shanghai Social Organization 5A-level Unit, and Shanghai Private High-quality Kindergarten, and has a high reputation in the local area.
The outdoor space of the Science and Technology Park is small, equipped with artificial turf playgrounds, sand pits, climbing walls, swimming pools and other sports facilities. The indoor space is large, including a science exploration activity room, a pottery room, a library, a Jerica classroom, a dance room, a calligraphy and painting room, a duplex children's bedroom, etc. Due to the long time of the establishment of the school, the decoration and some facilities of the private science and technology park are slightly outdated, and the hardware equipment is not excellent, but fortunately, it is bright and tidy, the layout is reasonable, and the overall environment can still be satisfied. The science and technology park is located in a residential area, which is convenient for parents to pick up and drop off their children, but it is a bit noisy.
The hardware conditions of the science park are average, but the courses and activities are very rich, and the scientific enlightenment is the highlight. There are three kindergarten courses in the Science and Technology Park, one is game sports, which mainly exercises the body through music rhythm teaching, outdoor games, equipment activities and other ways to increase interaction and interaction. The second is the "Early Childhood Brain Development" course of Jerika, which aims to cultivate children's logical thinking, mathematical thinking, image memory, etc. Although many early childhood education institutions and kindergartens have offered the Jerica curriculum, the effectiveness of this pedagogy has not been widely proven. Third, the most distinctive curriculum of the Science Park --- science activities, where teachers use common materials to conduct science experiments and handicrafts with children to enhance their interest and understanding of science.
Some kindergartens that focus on themes such as physical education or the arts rarely offer other types of classes. The Science and Technology Park, which features scientific and technological enlightenment, not only hosts art activities such as calligraphy, dance, ink painting, and vocal music, but also offers regular courses such as spoken English, chess, and pottery. In addition, there are science and technology festivals, buffets, parent-child sports meetings and other activities. In general, the activities that young children participate in are relatively comprehensive, however, for busy parents, there are too many activities that need to be accompanied and somewhat inconvenient.
Teachers are the core of early childhood education, and in addition to academic qualifications and teaching ability, patience and love for children are the most important qualities. The teachers of HKSTP all have a college degree or above and have been working in the industry for a long time. The Science and Technology Park has been a high-quality kindergarten in Yangpu District since its early establishment, and the overall teaching staff is relatively stable. According to parents' feedback, the teachers in the Science Park are highly professional, enthusiastic and considerate towards their children, and parents are generally very satisfied with them.
The Science and Technology Park now offers 2 nursery classes, 2 small classes, 2 large classes, and 3 middle classes. In terms of enrollment, the monthly fee for local students is 700-900 yuan, and the monthly fee for non-local students is about 3,500 yuan. Enrollment is given priority to students in the area, and it is more difficult for students in the non-area to enter the park.
