In Xicheng District, where public kindergartens are all over the place, although the Cotton Hutong Kindergarten in Xicheng District does not have a deep history of construction, and the area of the kindergarten cannot be compared with Beihai Kindergarten, but the guarantee of teaching quality and the improvement of hardware facilities have also made it a well-known school. Like Beihai Kindergarten, Mianyu is one of the first first-class kindergartens in Beijing, the first batch of demonstration kindergartens in Beijing, and the first batch of health care demonstration kindergartens in Beijing.
After several expansions and mergers, Mianyu merged with Ping'anli Kindergarten to take over Xisi North Qitiao Garden and Songshu Street Garden, and has now developed into a kindergarten with one park and four sites. The area of cotton is not large, including the total area of about 6,300 square meters, but the facilities in the park are complete, in addition to the activity room, sleeping room, toilet and other necessary space for children's life, modern reading room, science and technology experience room, dance classroom, computer room, multi-function hall is also readily available, especially the science and technology experience room, equipped with VR, interactive projectors, 3D image equipment, interactive tables and other scientific and technological equipment. Mianyou is also equipped with "baby video online" equipment, which supports parents to understand the status of their children in the kindergarten anytime and anywhere, and 360-degree real-time monitoring also makes parents more assured.
The quality of teaching and the setting of activities over the years are also obvious to all. More than 60% of the current teachers have bachelor's degrees, including 2 graduate degrees, and there are many city-level backbone teachers and district-level discipline leaders. In teaching, there are also special courses for independent research, such as using Montessori teaching methods to guide children to complete different tasks, or interspersing English teaching with daily lessons. In addition to the curriculum, there are club activities such as football, basketball, dance, Go, roller skating, etc. Mianyu also attaches great importance to parent-child education, advocating the concept of home co-education, and there are many forms of parent-child activities, including parent-child reading, parent teaching assistants, half-day opening for a week, etc., and parents will be invited to participate in social practice activities.
There are a variety of meal arrangements for cotton children, Chinese food and Western food alternately, and there are children in the class who are allergic to food or have different physiques, and cotton children will also make special arrangements for each meal. Every day, the chef of the cafeteria will arrange the meals arranged for the day in the refrigerated cabinet in the hall, so that parents can see the children's meals at a glance when they pick up and drop off their children. In addition, even half-day children have two meals in cotton and young, which is a minority in all half-day kindergartens.
In order to expand the number of students, in recent years, Mianyu has recruited half-day small classes, which can enroll nearly 280 people every year. Compared with other public kindergartens in Xicheng District, the number of students enrolled in cotton kindergarten is quite large. However, the main kindergarten only enrolls full-time small classes, with a fixed number of 50 students, while the other branches offer full-time and half-day classes. All children in Nursery will be converted to full-day when they are transferred to Nursery. If parents don't mind their children enrolling in a half-day small class, the success rate of choosing cotton children will be much higher, but this also requires parents to be able to pick up and drop off on time, and the time requirements for parents will be higher.
