The tide of private kindergarten closure is difficult for students to chase and become a child, or they will withdraw from the stage of history!
Whether private kindergartens are facing"Wave of bankruptcies", from students being harassed, to children being hard to find, or stories no longer appearing
In order to ensure that students are not left behind, parents are very concerned about this issue from the very beginning of their students' education. Their attitude towards education has changed, and this change has driven the increase and development of kindergartens. Over time, kindergartens have multiplied, resulting in a shortage of students.
Private kindergartens play an important role in preschool education, while public kindergartens have very few places. This has contributed to the prosperity of public schools, with the majority of students graduating from public schools and entering primary school. While private kindergartens don't have all the advantages of public kindergartens, they offer a diverse range of educational options that meet the needs of different parents for preschool education. However, after the boom, today's private kindergartens are also facing many difficulties.
The private garden is facing what is called"Wave of bankruptcies"This means that students no longer frequented private gardens, and it is difficult to find them.
Although in some economically developed areas, public schools may not be as well-known as public schools, in terms of teaching and interest development, public schools have some advantages that public schools do not have. Good public schools are highly sought after because of their abundant teaching resources, curious parents have long queues, and the annual enrollment has become a spectacle for students to chase.
However, in the past two years, private kindergartens have fallen into an unprecedented situation. The director of a private kindergarten in Beijing said that they have felt the chill of the current enrollment market, and the number of inquiries has dropped sharply, and the first four classes that were once full early are now only three classes left, and one of the classes can reach full capacity, which is not easy, and it can be said that it is difficult to find a park.
Private kindergartens are facing difficulties in recruiting students, but also facing fierce competition for students. Due to the difficulty of recruiting students, many private kindergartens can only attract students through incentive mechanisms, that is, giving parents some substantial discounts to help attract students. That is, a certain tuition waiver is given to parents who have successfully attracted students. At the same time that tuition fees have to be lowered, investment in enrollment has increased, which makes the situation different for private kindergartens.
Another major pressure on private kindergartens comes from neighbouring public kindergartens. In the past, public kindergartens were highly competitive, with extremely high entry thresholds and strict qualification restrictions, taking Beijing as an example, in addition to household registration requirements, parents were also required to show proof of work, household registration, Beijing residence permit and actual residence certificate. But now that public parks are gradually lowering the threshold for entering the park, these cumbersome certificates are no longer needed. As a result, some parents were admitted to private kindergartens soon after they were admitted to public kindergartens"Caught"It's right.
In this case, there was a first wave of closures of private kindergartens. Some kindergartens sold their equipment because they couldn't survive. While parents have called for the closure of private kindergartens in the past, that wish may now be coming true.
Private gardens"Wave of bankruptcies"There are three main reasons. First of all, the rectification of the competent authorities has had a great impact on private kindergartens. After the vigorous development of private kindergartens, there have been some undesirable phenomena, such as high tuition fees, too much teaching content, incomplete procedures, etc. In order to standardize the behavior of kindergartens, the relevant departments have carried out rectification, including targeted tuition fees, and the allocation of kindergartens to inclusive kindergartens.
Secondly, private parks"Involution"There are too many phenomena. In order to attract parents, in the face of fierce competition, private kindergartens need to show more sincerity. In the past, some teaching methods were banned, which made many private kindergartens turn to quality education and set up special classes such as ice hockey and horse riding. If a private garden does not have these special classes, it will be considered vulgar by parents, so many private gardens can only follow the trend, and those who can't keep up with the trend will close their doors.
The most important reason for the wave of private kindergarten closures is a declining population. After the liberalization of the two-child policy, kindergartens experienced a short period of prosperity, and private kindergartens sprung up. However, as the last group of children from two-child families grew, the expansion of private kindergartens came at a drop in the number of newborns.
What used to be a maximum of two kindergartens on a single street has now increased to seven or eight, while the number of newborns is decreasing year by year, resulting in many kindergartens being vacant.
From a parent's point of view, the wave of private kindergarten closures can be positive. In order to attract more students, private kindergartens can meet the expectations of parents in terms of fees, courses, and discounts, and the cost of kindergarten fees is expected to be reduced. This will also lead to the emergence of some low-quality private kindergartens with incomplete procedures.
Overall, however, the inability of public schools to enroll a sufficient number of students indicates that the population decline is quite severe. The closure of private kindergartens is often accompanied by layoffs and job losses for kindergarten teachers, which does not bode well in the long run.
In"Wave of bankruptcies"Under the influence of private kindergartens, the first thing to do in order to seek a turnaround is to strengthen teaching services. It is no longer an era when parents are competing to enroll, and kindergartens must pay more attention to the quality of teaching and reputation if they want to attract students.
Secondly, the use of kindergarten classrooms has also increased due to the decrease in the number of students. Where local policies allow, private kindergartens can consider applying for childcare services and undertake childcare services for children aged 0-3. Because it is common for young parents to be inexperienced, busy with work, and not have the elderly to help take care of their children, providing nursery services can attract students, especially private kindergartens with more vacant classrooms.
