幼儿身心发展规律的一日生活
Guanhua Daily Routine：Agree with the Mental and Physical Development Patterns of Young Children
启蒙园的理念特别提到「视幼儿为自然之子，遵循其身心发展规律。」，孩子的生活节奏需满足身心灵的步调，除了生活自理的学习外，穿插教师设计的「启蒙教育」，每天不疾不徐的过生活，有温暖与爱陪伴着，让孩子在做中学、在关系中成长、在游戏中求进步。
In the philosophy of our kindergarten, special emphasis is given to “looking at children as the son of the nature whose mental and physical development follows certain patterns”. Children’s rhythm of life has to be in tune with their mental and physical development patterns. Besides the teaching of basic self-care skills, the teacher also designs the “formative education” activities featuring moderately paced life, love and companionship. With the formative education model, the children are able to learn through practice, grow in relationships and progress while playing games.
