Educational policy
Ailang Huicai Yuan Kindergarten is positioned to provide internationally leading quality preschool education services for families residing in China.
Our educational policy
1. Children First
Our only job is to cultivate children. Adhering to the concept, principles, and curriculum system of "Active Learning" at Ailang Huicai Garden and ensuring the interests of young children are the primary principles we follow when making decisions.
2. Excellent Service
The success of our business is measured by the parents who entrust their children to us. We carry the trust of parents with refined management, warm connections, attentive services, and responsible actions.
3. Achieving Employees
Promoting the evolution and growth of employees has given our existence significant meaning. Serving, supporting, leading, and achieving employees are the core leadership tasks of each of our principals.
4. Leading Parents
Unlike mediocre schools that carefully maintain relationships with parents, we win the trust of parents through professional guidance and the presentation of teaching results, and rely on their support, follow-up, and reputation to make more parents choose us.
5. Sustained Growth
High quality education is inevitably scarce, and therefore should also be the most popular and valuable. So, numbers are the touchstone for testing the quality of each of our schools, and the continuous growth of student sources (income) is also the material guarantee for us to achieve "dual happiness of all employees".
Characteristics and advantages of education and teaching
1. Based on the proactive learning curriculum system of HighScope in the United States, children's independent thinking and self-care abilities are developed through group teaching and learning center activities.
2. The whole language teaching method provides children with an integrated language application environment for listening, speaking, reading, and writing through group discussions, shared reading, theatrical performances, and other teaching activities. It generates a strong interest in listening/communication, reading/understanding, and expression/creation, and builds a strong foundation of language abilities in the preschool stage.
3. A daily ESL pure foreign teacher English course and an immersive learning environment with bilingual teachers throughout the day, creating a mother tongue acquisition style second language environment for children during the critical period of language development between the ages of 2 and 6, establishing bilingual thinking, breaking through mechanical memory style mute English and performance English.
4. The STEAM courses in the senior class (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) introduce problems through a classic Chinese and foreign fairy tale story reading every week, and carry out a task-based learning process of engineering design, manufacturing, experimentation, and reflection, developing mathematical thinking and creativity, expanding knowledge and quantity, and laying a competitive foundation for children's learning life after entering primary school.
Outdoor environmental design concept
Almost all indoor activities can be conducted outdoors, but there are many activities that can only be carried out outdoors. Even in the city center filled with reinforced concrete buildings, we should also give children a luxurious outdoor space that is rich in functions, environmentally safe, and stimulates creativity!
The first thing we saw was a nearly 10000 square meter outdoor activity area. In order to ensure the safety of the children, we softened all the outdoor activity areas. During the critical period of developing the physical abilities of 2-6 year old children, one hour of outdoor time in the morning and one hour in the afternoon allows children to freely and happily engage in outdoor exercise and games, which is of utmost importance in preschool education.
Fundamentals of Indoor Environment
The soft environment design of the entire kindergarten is synchronized with that of American kindergartens, allowing children to immerse themselves in American language environments from a young age and be exposed to diverse international cultures, laying a solid foundation for children to have a good international perspective in the future.
Ailang Huicai Yuan Kindergarten is positioned to provide internationally leading quality preschool education services for families residing in China.
Healthcare
Strict and serious management of healthcare work to create a good living environment for children in the kindergarten. Efforts should be made to prevent and control infectious diseases, cultivate healthy lifestyle habits, ensure the physical and mental health of children, and provide scientific and refined care.
Transparent kitchen
The diet in the kindergarten ensures 25 different ingredients every day, with no duplicate dishes per week. It emphasizes the combination of meat and vegetables, thickness and texture, to ensure that children maintain comprehensive nutrition and taste. Introduce ingredients for the day to ensure the freshness of the food. Seeing the three meals and two points prepared by the chef for the children on the TV screen is completely transparent and open.
Course Teaching
Compared to the carefully crafted hardware environment, courses and teaching are the core advantages of Ailang.
Ailang International Kindergarten adopts the High Scope Preschool Curriculum, which is rooted in a 40 year longitudinal research project in the United States: High Scope Perry Preschool Study. Americans are determined to find high-quality preschool courses that can achieve lifelong development for their children. In the end, a comprehensive early childhood education system covering all aspects of curriculum and practical teaching operations was developed.
Dr. Rosemary Burton is the Chief Education Officer, Principal, and Curriculum Architect of Elon International Kindergarten. She has been engaged in early childhood education for nearly 40 years and is an authoritative figure in the field of early childhood education in the United States. She has profound expertise in psychology, basic education, educational regulation, and early childhood education, serving as the Chief Preschool Education Officer of Virginia for two to eight years.
Dr. Burton is responsible for the national curriculum system and teacher training.
The most core educational process in the daily process of the Gaozhan course is planning work review. For at least one hour every day, children can independently choose a place where they want to engage in learning activities independently. The reason why work time is important is that it can help children learn to make wise decisions, persist in completing the activities they have started, and discover their innate interests. During this period, they learned how to collaborate with friends and continuously explore and consolidate the knowledge they learned in group activities.
Drama course is one of the characteristic courses of Ailang Huicai Yuan. We have hired Taiwanese preschool drama education expert, Teacher Huang Huiru, to provide guidance in person. The TVY Baby Theater from the United States provides children with a full sensory experience through playful costumes, surprising scenes, and special settings. At present, there are more than 10 plays on display, including "The Escaping Bunny", the black light drama "One Inch Insect", and the light and shadow drama "The Beast Country".
Huicai Garden has a rich variety of activities, including open days, themed events (Thanksgiving, Mother's Day), art exhibitions, science exhibitions, parent teacher meetings, parent workshop, parent-child sports meet, birthday party, tent music festival, hiking, spring outing, autumn outing, social practice, etc.
