In Jing'an District, where every inch of land is valuable, there are not many private kindergartens, and high-quality kindergartens are even rarer. There is no private school in the first-level kindergarten in Jing'an District, and Green Xinlei is the only private second-level kindergarten, so it has attracted much attention. Founded in 2004, Green Xinlei is located in the downtown area of Changle Road, with a superior geographical location and a small scale, with an international kindergarten as its positioning and no foreign investment background.
Green Xinlei is a converted bungalow from an English garden house with brick and wood construction, which is more European country house style. After being changed to a kindergarten, the colorful decorations correspond to the fire-brown walls, like a small children's castle, full of childlike fun. Unfortunately, the area is small, and the outdoor field is transformed from a small garden, with only slides and seesaws, and there is not enough space for children. Green Xinlei is divided into a number of functional areas, including etiquette room, science room, mathematics room, thinking and exploration room, reading room, playroom, etc.
Sufficient activity space is very important for the healthy development and growth of young children, compared with the monthly tuition fee of 10,002, the overall environment of Green Xinlei is average, not to mention outstanding.
There are many bilingual kindergartens that are not worthy of the name, but there is not much bilingual teaching in Green Xinlei. Foreign teachers follow the whole class, most of them are from Europe and the United States, and there are also South African teachers, who have certain teaching qualities. Green Xinlei has created the "Singing Sentence Teaching Method" and "TP&MR" Teaching Method, aiming to master the ability to use foreign languages through the combination of behavior and language. Green Xinlei mainly focuses on situational teaching, and mostly uses environmental stimulation learning methods to teach different topics. For example, add seasons or festivals to the curriculum theme, and set up specific scenarios for children to learn Chinese and Western cultures, etiquette, etc. Code of conduct education is also at the heart of Green, for example, teachers will ask children to clean up their desks independently after eating.
Green Xinlei now has 4 classes, with a total of more than 70 children, and each class has a Chinese and foreign teacher and a nurse. Due to the small number of enrollment places, it is quite difficult to enroll. The monthly management fee alone has reached 10,002, and there are other expenses, and many parents say that the cost performance is not high.
