在現(xiàn)實(shí)與未來(lái)交織的今日，一所符合當(dāng)代嬰幼兒身心發(fā)展需求、旨在培養(yǎng)終生學(xué)習(xí)者的幼兒園應(yīng)該是什么樣的？

背負(fù)著中山乃至粵港澳大灣區(qū)萬(wàn)千家庭的期望，中山市阿丁萊幼兒園交出了第一份答卷。一所集科技感、空間感、設(shè)計(jì)感為一體的幼兒園于上周末正式與家長(zhǎng)孩子們見(jiàn)面！園區(qū)的落成不僅僅宣告著中山阿丁萊即將在中國(guó)掀開(kāi)一頁(yè)嶄新的篇章，同時(shí)也標(biāo)志著大灣區(qū)的優(yōu)質(zhì)教育提前進(jìn)入“未來(lái)形態(tài)”。

太空元素

激發(fā)想象

步入園區(qū)空間，酷似太空站的戶(hù)外游玩鍛煉區(qū)首先映入了家長(zhǎng)們的眼簾，孩子如同宇航員一樣穿梭于酷白的“飛船”中。在這塊碩大的場(chǎng)地上，配置了包括塑膠跑道、大型玩具、戶(hù)外戲水池、戶(hù)外蹦床、沙區(qū)等多個(gè)不同的探索區(qū)域，不同區(qū)域合理地劃分小區(qū)開(kāi)展各自的戶(hù)外鍛煉，孩子們?cè)谶@里提前感受到了宇宙與自然的神秘氣息。

貫穿整個(gè)一樓的開(kāi)放式圖書(shū)館，是進(jìn)入建筑內(nèi)第一個(gè)刺激家長(zhǎng)們腎上腺的興奮點(diǎn)，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)更激發(fā)了無(wú)數(shù)小小學(xué)習(xí)者們天生的好奇心和求知欲。穿梭于宛如浩瀚太空般的圖書(shū)館中，擺滿(mǎn)書(shū)架的原版中英文書(shū)籍吸引著孩子們追隨自己的興趣愛(ài)好，開(kāi)展一場(chǎng)又一場(chǎng)的知識(shí)遠(yuǎn)游。

而若隱若現(xiàn)的自然光也從精心設(shè)計(jì)的天窗中投射于地板，日光的強(qiáng)弱、角度，如同大自然賜予的鬧鐘，提醒著師生們一天的作息時(shí)點(diǎn)。

一整面落地玻璃窗以及充足的自然采光，是家長(zhǎng)們最為認(rèn)可的設(shè)計(jì)核心。寬敞靈動(dòng)的教室賦予孩子們無(wú)限創(chuàng)造靈感，避免過(guò)多的色彩和素材影響孩子的專(zhuān)注力，盡可能多的留白空間為孩子留存未來(lái)創(chuàng)作的機(jī)會(huì)，種種獨(dú)到的設(shè)計(jì)思路合力打造出了無(wú)與倫比的幼兒探索環(huán)境。

IB課堂

蘊(yùn)藏未來(lái)

被譽(yù)為中國(guó)現(xiàn)代兒童教育之父的陳鶴琴先生曾說(shuō)過(guò)：“小孩是生來(lái)好動(dòng)的，是以游戲?yàn)樯摹！?/p>

中山市阿丁萊幼兒園的教育理念與其不謀而合，我們希望通過(guò)寓教于樂(lè)的IB探究式學(xué)習(xí)，為孩子的身體賦予靈魂，為心靈安上翅膀，為想象打開(kāi)界限，也為他們的未來(lái)注入無(wú)限可能。

中外教聯(lián)合呈現(xiàn)的精彩課堂，大大印證了未來(lái)教育的可實(shí)踐性以及IB教學(xué)的獨(dú)特魅力。從開(kāi)始消除陌生感、快速融入環(huán)境的游戲式舞蹈，到情節(jié)跌宕起伏的英文繪本閱讀，再到孩子們親手塑造神秘感滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)的海底世界，整個(gè)IB探究式課堂將多個(gè)學(xué)科的知識(shí)緊密結(jié)合，并通過(guò)中外教們聲情并茂的授課方式，持續(xù)吸引著無(wú)數(shù)個(gè)稚嫩的臉龐。

在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，不僅僅孩子們的學(xué)識(shí)和眼界得到了提升，暴露在多元文化的環(huán)境下也讓他們的個(gè)體思維得到了充分鼓勵(lì)。孩子們不再束手束腳，他們大膽地分享著自己天馬行空的想法和諸多想要實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。即使當(dāng)天的課堂時(shí)間較短暫，但依然喚醒了孩子們心底里對(duì)于世界、對(duì)于未來(lái)無(wú)限的憧憬，也讓家長(zhǎng)們了解探究式學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)孩子的教育意義。

多元課程

面向世界

我們相信在未來(lái)的世界里，時(shí)代的引領(lǐng)者往往是在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之外“進(jìn)行突破”，這也是為什么我們?nèi)绱俗⒅貫楹⒆觽兲峁┤私逃；贗B探究式學(xué)習(xí)，我們?cè)陂_(kāi)放日當(dāng)天為家長(zhǎng)孩子們帶來(lái)了風(fēng)靡全球的擊劍、高爾夫、國(guó)際象棋，以及3D打印、編程等充滿(mǎn)科技色彩的課程。此外我們還為3歲以下的嬰幼兒開(kāi)設(shè)了以臟臟玩為例的感官、藝術(shù)趣味探索。

在這豐富的中西體驗(yàn)課程背后，我們更是遴選了一批杰出的專(zhuān)業(yè)老師和合作伙伴予以支持，其中更是不乏有來(lái)自哈佛商學(xué)院的課程專(zhuān)家。可以說(shuō)，中山市阿丁萊幼兒園重新定義了“拓展課程”一詞。

當(dāng)然，開(kāi)放日展示的僅是中山市阿丁萊幼兒園多元課程的冰山一角。未來(lái)，幼兒園也將會(huì)提供更多優(yōu)質(zhì)的、可持續(xù)發(fā)展的多元課程，助力每一位孩子博采眾長(zhǎng)，得到全身心的發(fā)展。

糅合中西

展示明天

“如果要保持孩子與生俱來(lái)的好奇心，需要至少一個(gè)成年人的陪伴與分享，并與孩子一起發(fā)現(xiàn)我們生活中的奧秘所帶來(lái)的喜悅和興奮。”作為中山市阿丁萊幼兒園的中方園長(zhǎng)，韓靜女士也在開(kāi)放日當(dāng)天登臺(tái)亮相，并與家長(zhǎng)們分享起了自己數(shù)十年的幼兒教育心得。

除了對(duì)于幼兒園無(wú)限的憧憬之外，韓靜園長(zhǎng)更是從教育、師資、作息以及家長(zhǎng)們最關(guān)心的空氣治理問(wèn)題進(jìn)行深度解析。

關(guān)于教育

由幼兒園多位學(xué)術(shù)專(zhuān)家共同制定出了EYFS框架下的課程實(shí)踐，旨在為學(xué)生科學(xué)地打造一段全人教育之旅。

關(guān)于師資

韓靜園長(zhǎng)向我們透露了中山市阿丁萊幼兒園同時(shí)吸引到了自美國(guó)佛羅里達(dá)州立大學(xué)、香港理工大學(xué)、香港教育大學(xué)等知名大學(xué)幼兒教育專(zhuān)業(yè)教師的加入，并組建出一支中山幼兒教育界數(shù)一數(shù)二的高水平教學(xué)管理團(tuán)隊(duì)。

關(guān)于作息

經(jīng)過(guò)多方商討并結(jié)合現(xiàn)實(shí)狀況，最終制定了不同年齡段的學(xué)習(xí)生活方案，通過(guò)多元的課程和規(guī)律的作息時(shí)間，讓孩子們充分享受在幼兒園的生活。

關(guān)于空氣

在空氣治理方面，除了采用達(dá)到國(guó)際建筑環(huán)保標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的室內(nèi)外裝修材質(zhì)之外，幼兒園還將逐層開(kāi)展多輪的空氣治理工作，持續(xù)減少甲醛、VOC等有害物質(zhì)的存在，并在開(kāi)學(xué)前對(duì)外公布室內(nèi)環(huán)境污染物質(zhì)檢測(cè)合格報(bào)告。此外，幼兒園還將24小時(shí)不間斷地在各個(gè)區(qū)域放置空氣凈化器，以確保提供給學(xué)生優(yōu)質(zhì)的空氣質(zhì)量。

韓靜園長(zhǎng)的全面分享贏來(lái)了200多組家庭的一致認(rèn)可，也喚起了家長(zhǎng)們對(duì)于中山阿丁萊更多的期待。在不久的將來(lái)，由韓靜園長(zhǎng)帶領(lǐng)的教師團(tuán)隊(duì)將正式開(kāi)啟他們?nèi)碌膱?zhí)教旅程，讓我們共同期待她們將為大灣區(qū)教育帶來(lái)的全新色彩！

At a time when reality and the future are intertwined, what should a kindergarten look like that meets the physical and cognitive developmental needs of today"s children and aims to cultivate lifelong learners?

Bearing in mind the expectations of thousands of families in Zhongshan and even the Greater Bay Area, Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten has delivered its first answer. A kindergarten with a keen sense of technology, space and design was officially opened to parents and children last weekend! The completion of the campus not only announces a new chapter for Ardingly College in China, but also marks an early entry into the "future of quality education" in the Greater Bay Area.

Space Elements That Inspire Fantasy

When we enter the campus, the outdoor play and exploration area, which resembles a space station, is the first thing to catch the students and parents" eyes, with exploring the cool white "spaceship" like astronauts. Throughout the large front field, there are many different exploration areas, including a running track, large toys, an outdoor splash pool, an outdoor trampoline, and a large sand play area, etc. The different areas are reasonably divided into divs so children can exercise and play freely, and where children can connect the universe and nature.

The open library, which runs throughout the ground floor, is the things that greets families when entering the building, and it also stimulates the natural curiosity of countless young learners. Walking through the open library space, the shelves are filled with original Chinese and English books that entice children to follow their interests and embark on one intellectual adventure after another.

The natural light from the many carefully designed skylights are also visible throughout the main floor, and the intensity and angle of the daylight is like a natural clock to remind students and teachers of the time of day.

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for fresh air and plenty of natural light and was designed with children and families in mind. The spacious and dynamic classrooms give children the opportunity to be creative, avoiding too much colour and material to distract children"s concentration and leaving as much white space as possible for future creative opportunities, where children are able to showcase learning and make each classroom their own. All these unique design ideas combine to create an unparalleled environment for young children to explore.

IB Programme

Hold the Future

Mr. Chen Heqin, who is regarded as the father of modern Chinese children"s education, once said, "Children are born to be active and live by play."

The educational philosophy of Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten coincides with this, and we hope that through IB inquiry-based learning that is fun and educational, we can give children a soul, give their mind wings, open endless boundaries to their imagination, and inject infinite possibilities into their futures

The exciting classes presented by the Chinese and International teachers were a testament to the practicability of future education and the unique appeal of IB teaching. From the playful dances to eliminate unfamiliarity and quickly integrate into the environment, to the English picture book readings with their own plots, to the mysterious undersea world created by the children themselves, the whole IB inquiry-based classroom combined the knowledge of multiple subjects and continued to attract countless young faces through the emotional teaching style of both Chinese and International teachers.

In the process, not only were the children"s knowledge and vision enhanced, but their exposure to a multicultural environment would also encourage their individual thinking. No longer tied down, the children were bold enough to share their wild ideas and the many goals they wanted to achieve. Even though the class was short, it still awakened in the children"s hearts a boundless vision of the world and their future, and gave parents an insight into the significance of inquiry-based learning in their children"s education.

A Diverse Curriculum for the World

We believe that in the world of tomorrow, the leaders of the times often "break through" beyond the standards, which is why we focus so much on providing a holistic education for our children. Based on the IB learning, we brought parents and children some of the world"s most popular co-curricular activities such as fencing, golf and chess, as well as technology-infused classes such as 3D printing and programming on our open day. We also offered a fun exploration of sensory and art (e.g. Messy Play) for infants and toddlers under 3 years old.

Behind this rich Chinese and Western curriculum, we have selected a group of outstanding professional teachers and partners to support us, including some curriculum experts from Harvard Business School. It is fair to say that Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten has redefined the term "Co-curriculum".

Of course, the open day was only the tip of the iceberg of our diversified curriculum. In the future, the kindergarten will provide more quality and sustainable diversified programmes to help every child to develop their own unique interests and talents supporting a whole child approach to holistic education.

Combining East and West to Analyse Tomorrow

"If we want to maintain children"s innate curiosity, we need at least one adult to accompany and share the joy and excitement of discovering new things in our lives from a child’s perspective’ As the Chinese Head of Early Years for Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten, Ms. Hannah also appeared on stage on the open day and shared her decades of experience in early childhood education with parents.

In addition to her vision for the kindergarten, Ms. Hannah also gave an in-depth analysis of our approach to education, teachers, daily schedule, as well as the air quality assurances that parents are most concerned about.

About Education

The kindergarten has worked with academic experts to develop a curriculum of practice guided by the EYFS framework, aiming to create a scientific journey of whole-person education for students.

About Faculty

Ms. Hannah said that Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten also has attracted teachers from renowned universities such as Florida State University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong University of Education to join us, and will form one of the best quality teaching and management teams in the early childhood education sector in Zhongshan.

About Daily Life

After much discussion and taking into account the realities of what children of different ages are able to do, we have developed a learning programme for different age groups, allowing children to fully enjoy their life in kindergarten through a diversified curriculum and personalised schedules.

About Air

In addition to using indoor and outdoor materials that meet international building environmental standards, the kindergarten will also carry out multiple rounds of air treatment work layer by layer to continuously reduce the presence of formaldehyde, VOC and other harmful substances, and will publish a qualified report on the testing of indoor environmental pollutants before the start of the school year. In addition, air purifiers will be placed in all areas of the kindergarten on a 24-hour basis to ensure that a better quality of air is provided for our students.

The comprehensive sharing by Ms. Hannah won the unanimous approval of more than 200 groups of families who visited the school, and also aroused the parents" expectation for more of Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten. In the near future, the team of teachers led by Ms. Hannah will officially start their new teaching journey, so let"s look forward to the new light they will bring to education in the Greater Bay Area!

Collaboration With World-renowned Partners

No matter what, the health and safety of our children is always the top priority for Ardingly College Zhongshan Kindergarten.

Some of Our Official Families

On the road to education, whether it is following the traditional wave or choosing an innovative path, there are a variety of questions that linger in the minds of every family. Ardingly College Zhongshan, as a school that can see into the future, will combine the efforts of many parties to create a journey of discovery for the future students of Zhongshan that is not limited to culture, thinking or background, and to provide new answers and paths in Chinese education.
