What kindergarten does little princess Charlotte go to?

What kindergarten does little princess Charlotte go to? Charlotte, the little princess of the British royal family, started kindergarten! Yesterday and today are the days when many primary and secondary schools in Britain start school. Today, Princess Charlotte, the daughter of William and Kate, who is under two years old, also ushered in the first day of kindergarten. Kensington Palace in England announced that Princess Charlotte would go to kindergarten in June 5438+next year 10. Princess Charlotte was born in May 20 15. She is the second child of Prince William and Princess Kate. Because she looks very similar to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, she was nicknamed "the lovely queen" by netizens. In June 5438+February last year, the spokesman of the Williams announced that they had chosen Wilcock Kindergarten not far from Kensington Palace for Charlotte. Coupled with Prince George who went to Thomas Battersea last September, all kinds of speculations and arguments about which primary schools and kindergartens this third and fourth heir to the British royal family will go to have come to an end. Why Wilcock Kindergarten? Let's talk about this kindergarten in willcocks where Princess Charlotte went. It takes only 1 1 minute to walk from Kensington Palace. According to British media analysis, Kate and William drove by and put the little princess Charlotte in the kindergarten, which was very convenient. In another 20 minutes' drive, George can be sent to Thomas Battersea School. As a high-profile member of the British royal family, Princess Charlotte's education must not fall behind. So, why did William and Kate choose this kindergarten among thousands of choices? According to the latest rating given by the Office of Education Standards (Ofsted) from 20 12 to 20 13, this kindergarten in Wilcock was rated as "outstanding" on the grounds that "employees have meticulous planning skills in ensuring children's individual learning needs". The report also praised the children in this kindergarten for "very correct behavior". The teachers in this school are all female teachers. Parents leave messages on the kindergarten website, describing the teachers as "very kind" and "always encouraging children". Some parents left a message saying: "Thank you very much for everything the teacher has done for the child, so that the child can have a very happy memory and benefit her for life." Kindergarten tuition in Wilcock is very expensive. Kindergarten has three semesters in a year, which start in June, April and September respectively. Today is also the first day of the spring semester of 20 18. If you take the morning shift, the tuition fee is 3050 pounds per semester from 9:00- 12:00 every day. In the morning, the monitor will mainly sing, cook, do puzzles and have some educational activities. From eleven o'clock to eleven o'clock, he will give the children milk and biscuits, mainly to help them adapt to the regular life. If you want to have a class at noon, every day 12 to 3 o'clock. Once a week is 580 per semester, twice a week is 1 160, and three times a week is 1740. The activities at noon are for children who want to stay in kindergarten for a long time. As for the afternoon shift, every day from 2 pm to 4 pm, each semester 1800 kg. The afternoon class leaders mainly explore, exercise and have some creative activities, mainly for younger children to carry out extracurricular activities. In addition, the kindergarten is close to the British Museum of Natural History, so it is estimated that Princess Charlotte still has many opportunities to learn shua. But the little princess was lucky. Her parents chose the afternoon shift for her. Is it because the little princess likes to sleep late? But, reading Westcott with my brother Prince George? Compared with the Westacre Montessori School, this school is indeed more expensive. The fee is 33 pounds per day (about RMB 300 yuan). Compared with Princess Charlotte's kindergarten, it can be said to be more affordable. Some people may ask, are the Williams partial? Why is the choice of kindergartens so different? In fact, which parent doesn't worry about choosing a school? The Williams also have reason to do so. The kindergarten chosen for Charlotte has always been famous for its excellent moral cultivation and high standards of etiquette. Mr. and Mrs. Williams must hope that Charlotte is as elegant and polite as her mother! Why did Charlotte and her brother choose different kindergartens? However, the tuition fee of this kindergarten is very different from the Montessori kindergarten in Norfolk where her brother Prince George attended before. The tuition fee is only 33 pounds a day, which is really different. Montessori kindergarten, where my brother Prince George once attended, respects the nature of children's growth and pays more attention to their quality education and potential development. In addition, Prince William himself and his younger brother Prince Harry attended Montessori kindergarten chosen by his mother Princess Diana when they were children! You know, Diana used to work in a Montessori kindergarten in England before she married into the royal family. Generally speaking, parents know their children best, and their love for them cannot be measured by money. What's more, men and women are different and their growth paths are different. The two kindergartens attended by Prince George and Princess Charlotte have different orientations. As the name implies, George Montessori Kindergarten adopts Montessori teaching method, which emphasizes independence and limited freedom, and respects children's natural psychological, physical and social development. The willcocks Kindergarten in Charlotte emphasizes a kind of perceptual education, so that children can get a more moderate education. Obviously, this setting is also set for the different personalities of the two heirs. George will be the king of England in the future, and he will undertake more important tasks, while Charlotte will pay more attention to this part of her female role. Not only is the tuition expensive, but kindergartens in Wilcock only enroll 32 children aged 2 to 5 at most a year, so the location is very tight. Official website said that a kindergarten, if you want your children to attend this kindergarten, you must first write an email to the kindergarten, get the application form, and then register your children. This step alone will cost 125, which is still non-refundable and there is no guarantee that your children will attend their kindergarten. If your child is admitted to the kindergarten, they will inform you by email. At this time, the second fee, that is, the deposit of 1500, will be refunded after the child leaves the kindergarten. Then parents should fill out a series of documents about parents, such as registration documents, medical forms, permission forms, and forms about children's hobbies, so that kindergartens can arrange their favorite toys and equipment to meet their children when they arrive, and help them adapt to the transition stage from parents to kindergartens. In the early days of children's schooling, parents and children will be invited to have a short "stay and play", and then parents will be arranged to leave to see how the children adapt. When the child becomes more adaptable, parents can leave safely, and the whole process may last for one morning or afternoon. Sometimes teachers ask parents to stay near the kindergarten, so that teachers can invite parents back when necessary. And kindergartens also allow children to bring their own toys and family photos from home. They wrote in official website: "Every child is an independent individual. Sometimes separation will make children depressed, but we hope parents will be patient." This is the difference between willcocks Kindergarten and other kindergartens. Because there are few children enrolled in school, teachers can take care of each child one-on-one, and carry out targeted education according to the characteristics of each child, which is probably what William and Kate value most. What are the "hidden rules" for the British royal family to choose schools? On the official website of willcocks Kindergarten, where Princess Charlotte attended, there was a recommendation about where children would go to school after graduation from kindergarten, giving a list of mixed schools, girls' schools and boys' schools, including Thomas Battersea School where George's brother attended. Speaking of Thomas Battersea School, one of the four largest private schools in London, it has been stripped off countless times before, and its admission process is similar to that of Wilcock Kindergarten. It is also necessary to contact the school first, then fill out the application form, and then visit the school, except for the 30-minute one-on-one interview with children. Then the parents will receive three results: admission, standby and rejection. As for the admission criteria, it depends on the school. Thomas Battersea School, I won't say much. The halo effect of the British royal family is great. After George entered Thomas Battersea, Ronaldo, the world footballer who played in the Premier League, also planned to send his 7-year-old son Mini Ronaldo to this school. However, it is worth mentioning that William and Kate chose this coeducational school for George, which can be said to have broken the tradition that British royal heirs have been educated in traditional aristocratic schools. Before Prince George, the princes who were basically at the top of the British royal family's inheritance, from kindergarten to high school, received elite education or traditional aristocratic education. By the generation of Little Prince George and Little Princess Charlotte, there have been obvious changes, and they began to gradually align with civilian schools. However, it can be seen from the isolated experience of Prince Charles in GoldSi Tong and the wild words of Prince William when he first entered school that members of the royal family have some difficulties in integrating in the process of receiving civilian education. However, a new generation of members of the British royal family have realized the importance of changing from elite education to civilian education, and tried their best to make members of the royal family receive education like ordinary people, and their choices of schools are becoming more and more diversified. What kindergarten does little princess Charlotte go to? 2 How should parents choose a kindergarten? Choose kindergarten details 1: distance is the basic consideration. Don't go far away for a good school, it will bring the problem of picking up and dropping off children, and it will also make children have to get up early in their later lives, which will have a negative impact on his (her) health. Detail 2: Don't blindly pursue kindergarten level. Some kindergartens can't reach the demonstration park due to limited space, but they are rigorous in running schools, practical in teachers' work and strong in service awareness, and the satisfaction rate of parents of young children in the park is high. This kind of kindergarten is the most worthwhile choice. Detail 3: Do what you can according to economic conditions. The monthly management fees vary greatly, and the level of fees is not necessarily proportional to the quality of education, so parents do not have to bear a heavy burden for this. Detail 4: When choosing a "distinctive" kindergarten, we should be careful that early childhood is in a critical period of physical and mental development. Children need extensive contact with the surrounding environment to promote the development of language, cognition, social communication, sports and emotion. If you spend a lot of time practicing a certain skill at this stage, your child's other development will be affected. Detail 5: Try not to choose full-time kindergarten. Preschool children are in a critical period of emotional development and are very eager for the care of their families. If they are sent to a full-time kindergarten at this time, children will lack close contact with their loved ones and cannot understand the feelings of ordinary people. In the long run, they will lose their sense of security and trust. Parents should not "reluctantly give up what they love" unless it is absolutely necessary. Detail 6: Try not to enter a class one level higher than the child's actual age. Reason 1: The intellectual age and physiological age of normal children increase synchronously. A clever 3-year-old child has entered a 4-year-old class, and his ability is average. He may be nothing like others, which is very unfavorable to the cultivation of children's self-confidence and competitiveness. The second reason: when a child should enter primary school after graduating from a large class, he can't enter school because of his age. Children will face the blow of "repeating grades". Detail 7: Don't conduct "qualitative training". Before entering kindergarten, children's hobbies, personality and other aspects are not qualitative. Therefore, parents should not conduct so-called "qualitative training" for their children too early. He (she) doesn't need to learn this and that. Kindergarten enrollment is not allowed to take exams. The interview only depends on the child's health (whether there are infectious diseases), whether he knows the numbers (1, 2, 3 ...), color discrimination (red, green ...) and so on. As for some impatient parents, it is not advisable to force their children to receive the best education purposefully. Children's physical health and mental health are the most important. It is a top priority for parents to make their children interested in the surrounding environment and face difficulties with a cheerful attitude.
