In the winter of Jianghuai, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky is already dark, and the Hefei Xinxin Preschool Tongdeyuan Kindergarten Nursery Center adjacent to the Hefei Smart Industrial Park is still brightly lit, and many young parents working in the industrial park have rushed here. In less than 10 minutes' drive, Liu Li, who got off work, successfully picked up his son.
We left work late and there was no one at home to take the children, so I was grateful to the teachers at the childcare center for waiting for us to pick up the children after work every day. In Liu Li's heart, the childcare center next to the industrial park is a real livelihood project, which solves the problem of dual-income families with babies, which is heart-warming and professional.
Hefei Xinxin Preschool Tongdeyuan Kindergarten Nursery Center is located in Hefei Xinzhan High-tech Industrial Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as "Xinzhan District"). As a potential area for the development of emerging industries in Hefei, a large number of young people have poured into the new station area in recent years. In order to solve the urgent needs of young employees in the district for childcare, as early as 2021, the district innovated the "state-owned enterprise-run park" system, and established Hefei Xinxin Preschool Education Group in July 2021 to build a public childcare integration demonstration center. In February 2022, the Tongdeyuan Kindergarten Nursery Center under the Group was officially opened.
At present, the childcare center has expanded from one class and 20 nursery places to two classes and 40 nursery places. Liang Xi, head of Hefei Xinxin Preschool Education Group, introduced that in order to run this nursery center well, the kindergarten specially upgraded the hardware facilities, added direct drinking water machines, air purifiers, projection all-in-one machines and sensory integration training play teaching aids, etc., and selected experienced full-time nursery teachers. In the early stage, it is mainly to stabilize children's emotions and guide children to adapt to collective life, and at the same time, five characteristic courses are offered: language emotional intelligence, Orff, creative arts, sensory integration training, and science, so as to improve children's language expression, gross movement, thinking and imagination, self-care and self-control and other abilities through the penetration of these courses.
Gather superior resources to solve parents' problems. The "public nursery" of Xinxin Preschool Education Group has become a warm place for parents in Xinzhan District. "The childcare center not only solves the problem of no one to take our children, but more importantly, the professional teachers in the kindergarten make the children's progress rapidly. In September 2023, Lin Qiang, who works in a nearby factory, sent his son, who had just turned two years old, to the Tongdeyuan Kindergarten Nursery Center.
The child is small and doesn't know if it's okay. Now, a few months have passed, and the gratifying changes in the child have already made Lin Qiang dispel the worries in his heart, and he is more grateful to the kindergarten and childcare center. "The child has learned to eat on his own, and his personality is better, unlike before, when he lost his temper easily. Language skills also develop quickly, and we are pleasantly surprised by the fact that we are able to say a few new words every day. ”
Behind the satisfaction of parents is the firm determination of Xinxin Preschool Education Group to run the nursery center well with the strength of all staff and the continuous silent dedication of teachers.
Nearly one-third of the children in Ding Lili's nursery class arrive 20 minutes early in the morning because their parents are working, and they have to be late until after 5:30 in the evening to pick them up at home. Every evening at around 6 p.m., after safely delivering the last child in her class to her parents, Ding Lili rushes to another kindergarten class to pick up her son. In order to take care of these late pick-up children, Ding Lili, who takes care of the children alone, has to put her 5-year-old son in the extended class of the kindergarten. For Ding Lili, for more than a year, in addition to holidays, she has long been accustomed to such a busy life every day. "This is my responsibility as an ordinary kindergarten teacher, and I am also a mother, and I feel very happy to be able to do something for parents in the area within the scope of my ability. ”
Do the heart-warming things and do the practical things carefully. In order to facilitate the pick-up and drop-off of young workers, the five childcare centers under the Xinxin Preschool Education Group are located within two kilometers of the industrial intensive park in the Xinzhan District. Since its establishment, the five childcare centers have solved the childcare problems of 211 young families. "It is expected that in September 2024, Xinxin Preschool Education and Childcare Center will fully cover the five major communities in Xinzhan District, providing 240 nursery places, benefiting more families.
