What are the development strategies for early childhood education kindergarten early education classes?

More and more parents require their children to enter the park before the age of 3, which not only marks the development of social education concept, but also reflects the expansion of people's demand for high-quality preschool education after the improvement of living standards. At present, according to the needs of local economic, cultural and social development, many provinces and cities propose to establish a complete early education system for -6 years old, which reflects the government's concern and attention to the needs of early education in society. So, what do we think of kindergarten early education classes? How to develop kindergarten early education classes?

First, the current situation of social demand for education for young children in kindergartens

(I) There are diversified forms of education for young children in kindergartens

At present, many kindergartens have started to offer nursery classes (generally enrolling young children aged from 1.5 to under 3 years old), parent-child classes (generally enrolling young children aged from a few months to under 3 years old and their parents * * * to participate in various games) and small classes (. According to the situation of 13 kindergartens investigated by the author, kindergartens offering nursery classes account for 33.98% of the total number of kindergartens investigated; Kindergartens with small classes account for 43.69% of the total number of kindergartens surveyed, which shows that small classes and nursery classes are the two main forms of education for young children in kindergartens, followed by parent-child classes, accounting for 2.38% of the total number of kindergartens surveyed; Kindergartens that offer parent-child classes and nursery classes at the same time also account for a certain proportion, accounting for 5.83%

(2) The phenomenon of studying in small classes is prominent < P > The survey found that although the number of young children studying in small classes is not large in a single kindergarten, this phenomenon is quite common, and many kindergarten teachers call it "the form of early education with China characteristics". Judging from the data mentioned above, almost half of kindergartens have the phenomenon of studying in small classes. Therefore, the author made a further investigation on the reasons for its establishment by means of questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that: (1) kindergartens did not offer nursery classes, which was an important reason for young children to study in small classes, accounting for 33.98% of the total kindergartens surveyed; 4.77% of the kindergartens surveyed have young children enrolled in small classes because of the lack of special teachers to educate young children. 36.89% of the kindergartens surveyed can only carry out education in small classes due to the limitation of facilities and venues; Other reasons (for example, many parents entrust their children to leave the kindergarten as soon as possible) accounted for 11.65% (note: when answering this question, the kindergartens surveyed can make multiple choices).

The phenomenon of young children attending small classes is mostly concentrated in public kindergartens that have long running time and are not worried about students. The main problems they face include: First, kindergartens do not have qualified facilities and sufficient venues. As we all know, at present, the hardware facilities in kindergartens are basically designed according to the development level of children, and young children can't use many of them. For example, in the toilets equipped in kindergartens, the squatting distance of toilet pits is designed for children, and the musculoskeletal development of young children is not yet mature, and their self-reliance ability is poor. If they are not careful, they will fall into the toilet pits and may cause life-threatening. During the interview, many directors showed anxiety because they didn't have the funds to invest in rebuilding and expanding the garden to meet the needs of physical and mental development of young children. Second, kindergartens do not have qualified teachers to educate young children.

Because there are significant differences between young children and young children in physiology, psychology, movement, self-reliance and self-care ability, their teacher standards and specifications, working procedures and requirements are correspondingly different. At present, there is no formal training institution for early education teachers in China. Normal colleges and preschool teachers' colleges do not offer related majors. Only some private training institutions are developing early education teacher training based on business opportunities. These private training institutions usually lack norms, and most of them only provide short-term training, so it is impossible to train qualified teachers who are qualified for the education of young children; Lan is a kindergarten without corresponding policy support. At present, the country has not planned and managed the regular preschool education series for children aged -3, so there is no clear regulation on the fees at this age. When public kindergartens recruit young children to start nursery classes, they can only refer to the fees of kindergarten classes, but they cannot refer to kindergarten classes in terms of teacher equipment, because young children have poor self-control and low verbal expression ability, and many children have not developed their own habit of defecating. I often urinate on my body, and I can't cope with the lack of teachers. This has greatly limited the benefits of running kindergartens in public kindergartens, thus affecting the downward extension of enrollment in public kindergartens.

(3) Kindergarten kindergartens and parent-child classes have huge potential students

The author conducted a survey on the expected students of children with low children in some kindergartens that have not yet started kindergarten kindergartens and parent-child classes. The results show that among the 13 kindergartens surveyed, 75.73% answered "yes"; 14.56% of the kindergartens surveyed answered "maybe"; Only 9.71% of the kindergartens surveyed answered "unclear". In order to confirm the prediction of the young children's students in kindergartens, the author also visited some private early childhood education training centers and found that most of their students are between 1 and 2 years old, of which the youngest is 8 months and the oldest is 2 years and 9 months. When asked why parents don't send them to kindergartens, most of the interviewed parents replied that they don't want kindergartens with young children. Judging from the geographical distribution of their students, they mainly come from nearby communities, but also from other communities that are far away. For example, during the investigation, the author once saw an old grandmother about 5 years old. Her home is about 15 kilometers away from the early education center where her children attend, and she needs to change buses twice. When asked why she brought her children to study in such a far place, she said that early education is so important that it is appropriate to make some efforts. The kindergarten in the residential area only recruits children over 2 years old, while her grandson is one and a half years old, looking for a relationship, the kindergarten in the community just won't accept it. There are countless similar J situations. From the tone and expression of these parents, we can see that they feel helpless about not enrolling young children in kindergartens. This shows from another angle that there are plenty of potential students for kindergartens to offer nursery classes or parent-child classes, and the social demand for education for young children is already very strong.

(4) It is the general trend that parents want their children to receive early education as soon as possible.

The author conducted a special survey on the reasons why parents want their young children to enter kindergartens. The results show that except for 1.68% of parents who can't explain the reasons, parents want their children to receive education as soon as possible, accounting for 69.9% of the total parents surveyed. Secondly, it is mainly because parents are too busy to take care of their children, which accounts for 33.98%, indicating that the acceleration of social rhythm poses a challenge to the educational function of families; Once again, because children are not easy to control, they want children's gardens to receive education to change some bad habits formed at home, which accounts for 4.85% (note: parents can make multiple choices in answering this question). Through interviews with some parents, the author also learned that parents think it is their ideal choice to send their children to the garden. Hiring nannies not only costs a lot, but also most nannies have a low educational level and do not understand preschool education. This shows that the credibility and status of kindergarten education in the eyes of parents is still relatively high.

The reasons why parents want their children to receive education as soon as possible are mainly caused by the following factors: First, the implementation of the one-child policy in China makes each family have only one child, and the social competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the employment pressure is increasing. Many parents hope that kindergarten education can be extended as far as possible because they are afraid that their children will lose at the starting line; Second, with the continuous improvement of parents' educational level and literacy, the understanding of the importance of early childhood education is also increasing. During the interview, when the author talks about various critical periods of children's physical and mental development, parents will talk endlessly happily, which is very different from the situation that educators had to spend a lot of time explaining these strange terms to parents when doing home visits or lectures 2 years ago. It can be seen that it is the general trend that parents want their children to receive education as soon as possible, and the state and government should attach importance to vigorously developing early education for young children.
