Brief introduction of foreign kindergartens

About the introduction of foreign kindergartens, parents need to choose a kindergarten for their children when they are old enough to go to kindergarten. Kindergarten settings are different in all countries of the world. Let's share a brief introduction about foreign kindergartens!

About foreign kindergartens 1 1, Norway: kindergartens that teach nothing.

Kindergarten in Norway is famous for "teaching nothing". The general policy of kindergarten is to let children go out to play more and get in touch with the sun and nature as much as possible. In kindergarten, children are never given cultural knowledge classes, and all children are never required to do the same thing.

Every day, the teacher will focus on the children to discuss what everyone is going to do, then play separately, and then talk about feelings and gains at will. However, in the game, the teacher will also teach the children Norwegian culture and traditions and teach them polite manners.

2. Munich: Forest Kindergarten

A natural park in Munich was opened as a "kindergarten in the forest". There are patches of birch forests and bushes, lawns and clear streams in the park. Children can basically play freely or observe the activities of ants and snails after entering the park.

Lunch is also sitting on the grass and eating like a picnic. Children run around in the Woods all day, rarely quarreling, fighting or getting sick. The director set three disciplines for the children: don't eat wild fruits; Don't run around with a stick; When you hear the whistle, you must assemble at once.

However, some parents will complain that their children will be slightly injured when playing, and they will be covered in mud every day when they come home.

3. Vienna: Imagine Kindergarten

Imagination kindergarten is dedicated to cultivating children's imagination. The classrooms here are designed in different environments, such as "fairy tale world" and "space world", and even farmhouses, kitchens and manual operation rooms.

Children can throw themselves into the fairy tale world and design their own. Stories, simulating space travel, doing manual labor, growing melons and vegetables, spinning and weaving, etc.

4. Britain, Britain

Kang kindergarten is carefully planned to fully develop the rich natural resources in the park. There are many natural courses in the park. Such a large kindergarten has little artificial environment.

Some are rugged gravel roads, caves made of boulders, overgrown hills with steep slopes, movable fallen logs, stones and bricks, dense trees falling leaves on the ground, and a big pond for raising fish.

In the future kindergarten, both boys and girls like activities. Strong athletic ability and coordinated movements make it easy to avoid accidents or have fewer accidents.

5. America

The prestigious Bank Street Family Center will strive to create a family-friendly environment for children aged from half to four for nearly 30 years. No Mozart piano training, no foreign language tapes, no math homework.

However, there are comfortable big chairs for children to sit and read, kitchen utensils for children to cook, tables for children to draw, building blocks for children to build castles and stairs for children to exercise their muscles. Children (about 12 per class) are free to play in other classrooms. Just as free as at home.

In the United States, food tasting and nutrition absorption in kindergartens are also an important subject here. Let children understand the importance of collective life in the joy of eating, because eating provides children with opportunities for language communication, and at the same time let children know the shape, color, smell and dining rules of food.

6. Italy

Reggio's early childhood education system is an early childhood education system that affects the world. The means for children to express themselves and communicate with others, as well as the marks for teachers to judge children's understanding, should include not only language symbols, but also hundreds of languages such as actions, gestures, gestures, expressions, paintings and sculptures.

Reggio doesn't have a fixed curriculum plan, and the project activities begin with the teacher's inquiry about the children, discovering their interests and solving problems in real life.

7. Hungary

Kindergartens in Hungary have a beautiful environment and are as artistic as their cities. Many decorations and furnishings in kindergartens are made by teachers themselves, and the materials used are all from nature. For example, the "heart" made of fallen leaves and dead branches;

Dolls, bonsai, boats and small furniture made of corn husk; Portraits made of dead plant roots; There is also a dollhouse, a small world made of reeds.

8. Australia

Kindergarten teachers in Australia spend most of their time talking to each child alone, instead of talking to the whole class. Children are in a relaxed, happy and free environment, without pressure and fear of teachers, and without being silent all the time.

The general standards of class size and teacher-child ratio in Australian kindergartens are:

0- 1 year group, 6 children, teacher-child ratio1:3;

1-2 years old group, 8 children, teacher-child ratio1:4;

2-3 years old children 10, teacher-child ratio1:5;

There are 16 children in the 3-year-old group, and the teacher-child ratio is1:8;

There are 20 children in the 4-6 age group, and the teacher-child ratio is 1: 10.

Australian kindergartens encourage children to eat and serve themselves; Provide children with food that reflects a variety of food cultures; When children eat, at least one adult sits beside them; Chatting while eating, with family color, relaxed and happy.

About foreign kindergartens 2 What are foreign kindergartens learning?

1, Japanese kindergartens: exercise physical fitness and cultivate self-care ability.

There are one class 10-30 in Japanese kindergartens, but there is only one head teacher. Take care of and manage 30 children by yourself, worrying about it for the teacher. However, since Japanese children go to kindergarten at the age of 3, self-care ability is an important learning content.

At lunch time, children should move small desks and chairs into the classroom from outside and set them up. Require middle-class children to change clothes independently; In large classes, children are given all the chores on weekdays.

As for physical fitness, when the spring is chilly in Japan, girls are still short skirts.

Kindergarten will also advocate and encourage parents to "wear less clothes" for their children. Even the first thing to enter the park every day is to take off your shoes and socks and put on loose game clothes, and go to the well-equipped stadium for free activities for nearly 2 hours.

Moreover, these sports do have the effect of "savage their physique". In addition to children's game equipment such as slides and swings, there are also horizontal bars, flat ladders and other equipment that require high strength for children. In addition, Japanese children learn to play football from kindergarten, and they will take part in inter-school football competitions in large classes.

In a day's kindergarten life, children drink cold direct drinking water; Lunch is prepared by parents. In May (the temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius), children's lunch is no longer heated, and they eat cold food directly. Japanese people hope to exercise their children's gastrointestinal function and enhance their adaptability to the environment.

As an early education expert, what I admire most is "there are so many festivals in Japanese kindergartens". Kindergarten holidays are not holidays, but taking children to learn about these festivals and customs and holding various activities with this theme. We advocate theme education, in fact, festivals are good themes. "

2. German kindergartens: mixed-age classes with "quiet corners"

Kindergartens in Germany admit children aged 0- 10, including infants aged 0-3, infants aged 3-6 and pupils aged 6- 10. Kindergartens are similar to the "small dining table" of primary school students in China: after school at noon, they go to kindergarten to eat;

After school in the afternoon, come to kindergarten to do homework; After finishing your homework, you can play games in the kindergarten. Usually there is a form on the wall of each class in kindergarten, which records the school time, school, contact number and so on. For each pupil, so that the class teacher can manage it.

German preschool teachers believe that "mixed-age classes" are beneficial for children to learn from each other and develop their social communication skills: older children will be proud to be together, they will know how to take care of their younger brothers and sisters, and children can learn a lot from older children.

Although corner games have become very common in early education in various countries, Germany still has its own unique place-in kindergartens, children can not only read books, participate in group activities organized by teachers, play with toys independently, but also choose to be alone.

Each classroom has an independent small space called "quiet corner". There is usually a cushion in a quiet corner, which contains many soft dolls made of cloth and interesting cushions.

Children who don't want to participate in group activities can sit quietly in this corner; Naughty children can also somersault here to vent their extra energy.

The design of the quiet corner not only respects the needs of children to be alone, but also provides an observable representation for teachers to understand children. When a child frequently walks into a quiet corner, he has issued a call with his behavior-he needs psychological help.

In terms of children's personality, pre-school education in Germany is thorough. In addition to the design of quiet corners, children also have the right to decide lunch and nap-some kindergartens will provide three lunch hours: 12: 00, 1: 00, 2: 00, and children can decide when to eat.

During lunch break, if the child is still awake for 20-30 minutes, he can get up and go out to play. When I was a child, I experienced the trouble of sleeping in a kindergarten crib, but I was afraid to be quiet. Are you envious?

3. British kindergartens: protect children's curiosity and self-esteem.

All the educational contents arranged by British kindergartens are closely related to children's activities.

For example, in science class, children want to know the characteristics of sand, cement and lime, and the teacher will lead them to build flower walls for flower beds.

Through the work of building a flower wall, the children learned how to mix sand, cement and lime in a certain proportion; Understand the characteristics of these materials; I also learned some simple labor skills and concepts about balance, horizontal and vertical.

In order to let children acquire electrical knowledge, the teacher will put wires, buzzers and high-energy batteries on the table and let the children try to connect the wires themselves. When they are connected correctly, the buzzer will buzz. If the connection is wrong, he will find a way to find a trick until the line is connected.

Similarly, British children are free to choose activities in kindergartens; Because the government has invested enough money, they have more choices. Besides reading, drawing and building blocks, they can also play with water and computers. In Britain, every class in every kindergarten has a computer.

Unlike the iPad thrown at children at home, the school computer provides various educational games and can draw pictures.

Sometimes teachers will follow children's curiosity and create seemingly absurd and boring games.

Once, I thought the kindergarten teacher opened the newly bought toys for the children to play with, but I was attracted by the shockproof plastic bag with small bubbles on the outer packaging. The teacher cut the plastic with scissors and gave everyone a small piece to play with. Someone asked what is the educational purpose of doing this?

The teacher smiled faintly and said, "The children are very happy to hear the crackling sound when the bubbles are crushed one by one!"

In addition, British educators are also very good at protecting children's self-esteem.

At the harvest celebration held in a primary school (with a nursery), children brought many harvest-related items, such as fruits, vegetables, bread and so on. Give them to the headmaster for display in the hall. At this time, a child brought the faucet, and all the other children present laughed.

I only heard the headmaster kindly say, "The faucet seems to have nothing to do with the harvest, but it can wash vegetables, fruits, hands and many things, and it can wash things cleanly. It is very appropriate for the faucet to appear at the harvest meeting. " After the headmaster said this, the laughing child stopped laughing, and the laughed child looked very proud.

4. New Zealand kindergartens: teach children how to play.

In New Zealand, class hours are like advertisements. Generally, before use, during afternoon tea and lunch, children get together and sit on the floor. Teachers use different teaching AIDS to teach simple letters, numbers, songs and actions according to children of different ages. This time is generally 10~20 minutes.

In addition, there are free indoor and outdoor activities, and kindergartens in New Zealand are like a small world. There are slides, swings, gardens, bunkers, sinks, rock climbing, woodworking lathes, tricycles and so on. Rooms are usually divided into several areas, similar to corner games in kindergartens in China.

For example, the "doll house" used by every household, from ovens and refrigerators to vegetables and bread, from dolls and various clothes to children's carts.

In addition to the common doll house, small library, building block area, puzzle area and so on. There are also natural corners of various natural products, including shells, volcanic rocks, pebbles, leaves, dried flowers, bark and so on.

For children in New Zealand, there is only one compulsory course, that is, art. Both indoor teachers and outdoor teachers should be responsible for their own art classes, so that children can try to draw in different ways and with different tools, or complete other "works of art".

When painting, children will bring special aprons, and the pigments used can also be washed. Interestingly, 90% of Asian children carefully protect their bodies and clothes, while other children don't care about making their hands, faces and bodies colorful.
