Xicheng District Experimental Kindergarten is a first-class park in Beijing and a municipal demonstration park.
The space of the experimental kindergarten in Xicheng District is slightly narrow, and the hardware facilities are inferior to the six kindergartens. The park only covers an area of more than 2,300 square meters, and the kindergarten can only maximize the use of space in the limited space under the premise of ensuring that the children's play, rest and dining space is sufficient. The grassland area of the park is 500 square meters, with two small buildings, and the roof is also separately planned for children's activities. The activity area is equipped with large sports equipment, tree houses, sand pits, animal feeding areas, etc., and parents do not need to worry about the facilities. The building is equipped with 9 well-equipped activity rooms, including a children's book corner, a game room, a multi-purpose hall, etc., and 9 teaching classes.
In the past, the experimental kindergarten in Xicheng District was characterized by the teaching of mathematics for young children, and there was a separate mathematics room, and the teaching activities of children's arithmetic have won many scientific research awards. However, with the changes in the teaching requirements of the kindergarten reform, the Xicheng Experimental Kindergarten no longer focuses on the teaching of arithmetic, but enriches the children's games and interests. The kindergarten will offer personalized courses every semester, including art, dance, science experiments, sand painting, gardening, baking, etc., with nearly 20 kinds of courses. These courses are freely chosen by children according to their own preferences, and adopt a mixed-age model, which also allows children of different ages to communicate and play. In addition, the kindergarten is located near the ancient cultural street of Liulichang, and the kindergarten often has cultural activities in Liulichang.
