kindergarten


The kindergarten has expended to five classes. There are 67 children in the kindergarten and there are more to come. By the end of the school year, the number of the kindergarten children will reach 80 because there are more then 40 children in the waiting list.

There are few mothers joined in the kindergarten as assistant or teacher this year. The ongoing training program has turned some mothers out some good teacher in the past years. Many of professional mother quite their jobs and accompany their children in the school. We still have 20 percent of children in our school move to Chengdu from other cities. We had got very challenge children in the kindergarten before. Now the challenge moved up to the grade school. Our kindergarten teachers learn to accept the younger children more than the older ones. In fact, our kindergarten is quieter than before. Many of children who do not have boundary at home. The teachers are struggling to build up the boundary with the new children. It is a very hard work because we are dealing with all those “the little emperors”.(family’s only child)


The great achievement that we had made  is that we have finally decided to take two and a half year old children. We now have a toddler class with 15 children from age two and half to three and half. We have struggling how to bring those children in. In the first two weeks, the mothers came to help. Now, it is very nice to see little ones.

All kindergarten starts  from 8:30AM to 5:00PM. Our kindergarten end by PM 4:30.  it is a long day for our teachers and children. Therefore we have two swift for lead teachers and children have a long nap in the nap room.

Our kindergarten teachers grow very fast. They also have to work very harder to find suitable materials in our culture such as songs, games, arts and Chinese festivals. There are some parents are very happy to see that we are working out of our culture instead of importing Waldorf education from Germany. They are very impressive by the parents. We do offer ongoing training to the teachers bring foreign teachers to China. They also go to abroad to visit the other waldorf kindergarte.
