Acting Director-My Experience and Feeling

On Thanksgiving Day, I ended my term as "Acting Director" in my daughter's kindergarten (11.15-1.23). At the same time, the following table is completed as required. In fact, my gains and feelings during the period are far more than these, but my personal language expression ability is limited and the boxes in the table are limited, so I hand in my homework according to the task.

Early the next morning, I habitually turned on my mobile phone and saw the incident of "Tricolor" kindergarten in my circle of friends. My whole person was angry and immediately forwarded it with my sadness and hatred. Later, after understanding and paying attention to the whole incident from multiple angles, I rationally deleted the previous forwarding. In addition to the heartache of children and their families and the condemnation of the perpetrators, more people actually feel that preschool education has a long way to go.

Kindergarten is the first step for children to leave their parents and go to society. This step will have a positive impact on their lives. As a mother and a parent, I also hope that my children can have a wonderful childhood in a healthy and happy kindergarten. Therefore, the birth of a child is also accompanied by my growth.

When she was young, I bought a lot of parenting books. Although many of them have never been seen or opened, I am still very excited about the mood and confidence that I have carefully cultivated my children. However, with the birth and growth of children, our regular life and beautiful expectations have been disrupted. "Children eat, drink and sleep" has kept us busy, not to mention paying attention to the growth laws and characteristics of children, not to mention emotional psychology. ...

So, in this way, I also raised my children by feeling the stones. In this process, we will not only educate our children with the habits we think are right (which should be the habits given to us by our family or the corrections of our parents' discipline), but also read some books that feel wrong and then use them on our children. During this period, I originally wanted to choose early education for her, because I heard that "children can't lose at the starting line", although I didn't agree with it in my heart. Later, when I came into contact with Waldorf, I felt that I really should give my children full love, companionship and freedom. Nature is the best teacher for children, but I don't know or how to do it. Later, I came into contact with "traditional culture". I think it is also reasonable for our ancestors to "strictly teach strict father as a teacher". When children do something wrong, they must be strictly disciplined ... anyway, I will impose various educational methods on children because I read a book, listened to stories for a while and agreed with a certain educational concept. But it is often "fishing for three days and drying the net for two days", and now I want to raise a child. Not too good, not too bad.

It's time to choose a kindergarten for children in a blink of an eye. This was a year ago. At that time, I had three choices: first, a national chain in the community, many of which were famous in Xi 'an, and they were downstairs, so it should be the first choice. But this kindergarten is too small. The probability of owners drawing lots every year is 1:5. On the first night, everyone lined up with benches. The scene is spectacular. That year, we were lucky to be chosen. We had an exchange before entering the park. Finally walked into the kindergarten for the first time. The classrooms in the park are beautifully decorated, but during the communication for more than half an hour, I was disturbed by various voices. I have the impression that one or two classes of children are arranging programs, but it seems very noisy upstairs. I looked at "there are many children in the classroom", and the outdoor activity area is even more limited. Therefore, I rationally dropped PS, because I don't want my children to live in a very cramped space. My intuition tells me that this is not suitable for children's growth.

Second, I chose a high-end kindergarten (relative to the surrounding area). By the way, for a foreigner like us, it is very difficult to get into a better public park, tens of thousands at a time. Although the cost of public parks in the jurisdiction is low, it is said that education is relatively backward (no investigation). In addition, this kindergarten is the new garden of our new house community. It is said that it is a direct-operated character spiritual garden in (* * * country), which mainly promotes "Montessori education". One is to be close to home in the future, and the other is keen on their international management and Montessori's concept of "love and freedom", so I decided to choose this kindergarten, which is two or three times more expensive than other kindergartens around me. It's a pity that my daughter only studied here for a month, not because of the bad environment, not to mention the bad teacher, but because an investor handled the incident once and for all. I won't go into details here, but as a leader of a kindergarten, he represents not only individuals, but the whole kindergarten. The character and values of investors or principals directly affect the future of kindergartens, whether for teachers or children.

Third, in March of the following year, we sent our daughter to a "provincial demonstration park" not far from home. There are 10 small classes in this kindergarten, with about 30 children in each class. You can imagine how big the kindergarten is. Because of my previous experience in high-end kindergarten, the cost is moderate, so my expectations and requirements are not so high. Fortunately, because it is a transfer class, we happen to be in the best small class here with the children of a more careful friend (of course, the teacher's is OK). In this way, my daughter officially entered kindergarten life.

Let me talk about the "admission anxiety" that everyone cares about. Every child's reaction is very different. We can hardly see anything unusual in our daughter. On the contrary, she seems to like kindergarten life very much. One month in that high-end kindergarten before may be because there were fewer children (less than 10), the teachers were well-equipped and energetic, and Montessori education also gave the children relative freedom ... so she didn't feel any discomfort.

Let's talk about "changing gardens". Many parents worry that changing the park will have a bad psychological impact on their children, but this is the same as children living in an unhappy family environment, and they must "stop when they are broken." I made a decisive decision when I realized that there was no long-term nourishment for children here. As it happens, the month after the children finished, it was New Year's Day, and then the winter vacation. I told her: "Sandy has grown up by one year, and she is learning well and quickly. She can be promoted to a bigger kindergarten next year." She feels great and has been looking forward to it. So, in March of the following year, I naturally went to another kindergarten.

Insert another paragraph: Last winter, there seemed to be no heavy smog in Xi 'an, schools were often closed, and vehicles were restricted .../Kloc-Bauer, born in October, was delayed because he saw less grandchildren; Children seldom play outdoors normally. So I discussed it with my father during the Chinese New Year, and we finally chose to move to Weihai. Ha ha laugh ... just simple, just leave, it will come. The reason is simple: give children a comfortable and bright life. Facts have proved that our choice is very wise.

In fact, I prefer the blue sky here during the day, and I feel like living in the heavenly palace. It seems that I can look up and touch the sky overhead, and I can reach the clouds on the horizon ... it's beautiful in the morning and at night!

In April, we booked a house. None of us had been here before that. At that time, I only asked one thing about the choice of a house: it should be no more than 15 minutes walk from one of the best primary schools. In this way, because of "two realities are small", they became attached to "Wei Gao". At the end of July, we bid farewell to Xi 'an's friends, packed some things, and drove to Weihai with our mother and children for a brand-new future life. ...

Ha ha laugh ... that's beside the point! Back to the topic, let's choose another kindergarten! Based on the principle of proximity, the "* * public school" and "No.2 primary school kindergarten" were locked. I feel that there is little difference in fame and cost between the two. However, when I signed the house in May, I went to a park in the community to find out. Fortunately, I met a teacher who scolded one child out of control and all the other children looked at the teacher in panic. At that time, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, and the accompanying teacher kept explaining to me that although I could understand that anyone would be emotional, I felt that as a teacher, I absolutely had to control it (she obviously went too far and the performance of other children made me feel bad). Therefore, this first impression is not good.

In addition, one day in August, I finally walked into our garden for the first time, haha! When I was received by Director Xiao, my first impression was "simple and sincere, like my mother". Because of my previous experience, I pay more attention to kindergarten software, such as teaching philosophy, curriculum and arrangement, teacher training, the original intention and story of kindergarten or director, and why she chose to be a kindergarten teacher. ..... Ha ha, I remember Mr. Xiao said that I was good at asking questions.

After visiting and answering questions, we chatted. Qian Bao is very novel about this strange environment. She has been playing not far from us. Later, she broke her finger on the playground. Miss Xiao took her to dress up. I saw the children coming out of the restaurant one by one with innocent and happy smiles on their faces. Some children also greeted me kindly, "Hello, Auntie!" "When Miss Xiao took her out, I asked her," Do you like it here? Do you want to study here? "She told me excitedly:" I like it, I want it! "

All right, check it out! I decided to sign up soon. Teacher Xiao smiled and asked, "Don't you consider discussing it?" . I said, "No, just for you, here we come!" " Ha ha, of course, because of her introduction, and more importantly, I believe what I see and feel. This is a relaxed and happy feeling, which comes from the atmosphere of children, teachers and the whole kindergarten. It's our sixth sense anyway.

It is just two months before the official admission to the park on September 1 day (the one-week experience period starting on August 28th). As it turns out, my feeling is very accurate. My children got used to it quickly, and they enjoyed their study and life here. Every day, they make great progress. For example, she is willing to share with me her happy and sad things in kindergarten every day (she has made another good friend; So-and-so said that she loves to spit, not her good friend; The teacher praised her, what did she reward her ...) The relationship between time is long-winded! In short, from the child's daily state, I can feel that she is happy in kindergarten. Although she sometimes has a little friction with her children, or encounters some setbacks and difficulties in her study, with the encouragement of her teachers and me (especially playing basketball, starting from zero), she has broken through herself again and again. At first, she was depressed when she mentioned racquet. Now she is comfortable and confident. Therefore, as long as the environment is good (psychological environment) and the method is right, I believe that children can learn and grow happily.

Suddenly thought of the "law of attraction", hey, isn't this the kindergarten I've been longing for and looking for? (Standardized management+humanized concept+family education = laying a happy life for children)

Well, we only stayed in Weihai for three months. Besides decorating the house, I spend most of my time with my two children. Of course, I also hope to have some leisure time to read my favorite books, listen to music and practice yoga ... because my mother helps to take care of us, such time can still be squeezed out.

With the understanding of kindergartens, I also agree with the idea of running kindergartens more and more, especially in "family education". Therefore, I joined the "New Chinese Parent School" without hesitation and chose "Wise Emotional Intelligence" for my children. As many parents have reflected, it is just right to wake up once a week, otherwise all kinds of yelling and anxiety will accumulate together and I don't know how to release them. Parents who have attended classes know that the whole course is carefully designed according to the children's personality characteristics and development laws, combined with the actual and common problems in life, which is very valuable to us and our children. Therefore, learning is not only for children, but also for ourselves. In the end, children and we will benefit.

Back to the beginning of the article, about my experience as an "acting director" In fact, this experience was an accident. On June165438+1October 14, the new family committee was established. As a member of the family Committee, I participated in the whole process. This is my second time in kindergarten. Through the understanding of the previous work of the family Committee, I feel that it is quite stressful to really become a member of the family Committee and play the role of a bridge between parents and kindergartens. I believe we can live up to expectations and do something practical for everyone.

In the evening, the director of the history school issued a notice of "recruiting acting director" in the family Committee group. The three directors went out to study for a week, and everyone may be wondering about the time, and I happened to take Bauer at home full-time, so the time was relatively free. At the same time, I was also the first to register with curiosity! Later, another old parent also signed up. She is in charge of South Park and I am in charge of North Park. Later, when we were sharing, she smiled and said, "If she said that the kindergarten is really good, let everyone rest assured, will others say that she is procrastinating?" I think we just came here and don't know anyone. There should be no suspicion of procrastination.

Hehe, I shared this paragraph today. One is for myself, and it is also a review and record of my parenting experience. Second, I hope more parents can see and treat the problems at home more objectively, and don't lose confidence in preschool education. Starting from ourselves, starting from the dribs and drabs around us, our home will work together to create a happy and beautiful childhood for our children.

Next, I'll give you a detailed introduction to my experiences and feelings during that time:

Although I have some understanding and speculation about kindergarten life before, it will be one-sided and subjective. Through this in-depth experience and study, I have a more comprehensive and objective understanding of children's life and study in one day, as well as the contact and cooperation of teachers in all aspects, especially the ability to solve some unexpected problems.

When Xiao Yuan handed over, he gave me a folder with a "work log" in it. My privilege is to check all classes and posts at any time. During morning exercises, she introduced me to the class teacher one by one. I was a little uncomfortable at first, especially when people called me "Dean Wang". Later, I got used to it, so there was no need to be polite. However, I am more responsible and obedient, so I began to work seriously.

Patrol three times a day on average, and sometimes stay in a class for a while to see how they finish an activity from beginning to end; I will also deliberately observe the class style, language, movements, expressions, children's reactions and so on. Different teachers; They will also observe their own state, as well as the guidance and requirements for their children when arranging their children's lives; There is also the mutual cooperation and coordination between teachers, especially when there are only two teachers in each class. Are you anxious or impatient? The other is the teacher's ability to solve and deal with emergencies such as children crying; Then the management and guarantee of health care, doorman, kitchen, office (finance) and other logistics. ...

Anyway, let's talk about leisure, as if it's really nothing? Because the teachers really cooperate well, every time I say I need help, they politely refuse. Speaking of busy, my calf really hurts on my first day home. My mother joked that the acting director was still so tired? Many times, when children take a lunch break, they can still be seen guarding their children, preparing lessons, or resting to prepare for the afternoon life! This makes me see the difference between kindergarten teachers and primary and secondary schools. They should not only teach their children knowledge, but also pay attention to the cultivation of their living habits, so they really work all the time after entering kindergarten every day. ...

So, it is conceivable that the teachers have practiced at the end of the day ... well, maybe they have all done it. During that time, with the laughter of children and the gentle and firm teaching and care of teachers, I saw a warm and touching picture. Once, a little girl in the middle class came to our office because she couldn't take part in outdoor activities because of a cold and runny nose. The teacher carefully prepared drawing paper and brushes for her. While chatting with me, the child painted seriously. Finally, I was deeply impressed by the pictures she shared. The three people in the photo are her three teachers, playing with the children. I joked that there was only one. Which teacher are you going to give it to? She smiled and said, I'll draw two more pairs ... so this child is a teacher who loves her from the heart.

Therefore, giving the child to such a teacher is nourishing in such a loving family, and my heart is full of love and emotion. Teachers are human beings and need to understand, care and nourish. In addition to their own good adaptation, there is also care in the garden, and more importantly, parents' communication, understanding and support. As a parent, I will always trust, understand and support teachers' work, family education and * * * to create a good growth environment for children.

Secondly, from the perspective of acting director, managers must provide a strong guarantee for the smooth development of teachers' work. Fortunately, the foundation has been laid before the garden. There are only two teachers in each class, and everyone can still cooperate well and finish the work independently. During the period, all teaching activities and daily work and study in the park can be carried out in an orderly manner. I also have confidence in the management of kindergartens. At this point, our garden has done a good job, giving teachers all kinds of training from time to time, and I agree with it. Only by continuous learning and growth can teachers have a conscience mentality, state and skills, and finally give back to their children. I hope that in the future, the principal and management will not forget your initiative and always put the love for children and the growth of teachers in an important position.

Finally, I think in such a big family, every child and every teacher is happy. Because I am also very happy these days. Especially when I hear children affectionately calling: "Mom, teacher, or aunt", sometimes they will give me a big hug, lie in my ear, tell me little secrets ... and teachers' smiles, which exude a feeling of love and strength from the inside out, which I appreciate very much.

In a word, I benefited a lot from this experience and study, thanks to the careful arrangement in the garden. I also wish all children, teachers and parents better and better, and our home is more and more harmonious!
