辽宁大连伟才伟才国际幼儿园 王梓懿爸爸
I got to know Great Man purely by coincidence. When I was worried about which kindergarten I could choose for my daughter, I asked myself “What is this school like? What kinds of teachers would be there? What type of education would be delivered?” All of these questions were the source of my motivation that ultimately led me to set foot at this school. “The theory of Multiple Intelligences”, “Full-English Environment”, “Closeness to foreign teachers”, “Unwillingness to go home”, “Respect for the natural happiness of children”… Since these educational theories suited our expectations for our child, I became determined and also felt lucky, believing that my daughter would be inspired by the beauty of these concepts. I cherished the opportunity that she would study happily, live happily, and grow happily. This beauty originated from the nature of this educational program.
Time can testify of the truth of this. We were right to believe in this school. The best part of Ella’s time with Great Man was to witness her growth. She truly grew in beauty and in health, with happiness as an individual all year long.
“Dad, do you know how to say ‘blanket’ in English?” “Mum, I learned the English word ‘butterfly’!” “Tiantian (my daughter), do you know how to say “dinosaur” in English?”…
The purpose of education is not only knowledge, but when my daughter demonstrated each night how much she was really learning, she displayed such a proud sense of accomplishment; I was not only surprised by her keen intelligence, but I also admired the success of this situational education and the modeling of the language environment at Great Man.
After experiencing “The Haunted Farm” during Halloween, “The Masque” during Christmas, Parents’ night home-school activities and “I Love Reading” parent-child reading seminar, I suddenly realized that it was not only my daughter who experienced ‘An Encounter with Beauty’ but also we parents did. During the activities, I was able to understand more about the colorful world of children’s imagination, the meaning of having fun together with children and I also learned that children’s growth needs to be accompanied by parents. Additionally, I gained the kind of pure happiness that I had not felt for a long time. I acknowledged that Great Man was a school for both children and parents.
It can be said that it was the careful and meticulous care provided by the staff, the sincere smile we were given each day, the authentic language environment that was provided, and the kind consideration that was shown us made the beauty of this education based on kids’ happiness. Ella’s joyfulness started from the moment she joined this school, and it was the most natural feeling in the world.
