在现实与未来交织的今日，一所符合当代婴幼儿身心发展需求、旨在培养终生学习者的幼儿园应该是什么样的？

背负着中山乃至粤港澳大湾区万千家庭的期望，中山市阿丁莱幼儿园交出了第一份答卷。一所集科技感、空间感、设计感为一体的幼儿园于上周末正式与家长孩子们见面！园区的落成不仅仅宣告着中山阿丁莱即将在中国掀开一页崭新的篇章，同时也标志着大湾区的优质教育提前进入“未来形态”。

太空元素

激发想象

步入园区空间，酷似太空站的户外游玩锻炼区首先映入了家长们的眼帘，孩子如同宇航员一样穿梭于酷白的“飞船”中。在这块硕大的场地上，配置了包括塑胶跑道、大型玩具、户外戏水池、户外蹦床、沙区等多个不同的探索区域，不同区域合理地划分小区开展各自的户外锻炼，孩子们在这里提前感受到了宇宙与自然的神秘气息。

贯穿整个一楼的开放式图书馆，是进入建筑内第一个刺激家长们肾上腺的兴奋点，现场更激发了无数小小学习者们天生的好奇心和求知欲。穿梭于宛如浩瀚太空般的图书馆中，摆满书架的原版中英文书籍吸引着孩子们追随自己的兴趣爱好，开展一场又一场的知识远游。

而若隐若现的自然光也从精心设计的天窗中投射于地板，日光的强弱、角度，如同大自然赐予的闹钟，提醒着师生们一天的作息时点。

一整面落地玻璃窗以及充足的自然采光，是家长们最为认可的设计核心。宽敞灵动的教室赋予孩子们无限创造灵感，避免过多的色彩和素材影响孩子的专注力，尽可能多的留白空间为孩子留存未来创作的机会，种种独到的设计思路合力打造出了无与伦比的幼儿探索环境。

IB课堂

蕴藏未来

被誉为中国现代儿童教育之父的陈鹤琴先生曾说过：“小孩是生来好动的，是以游戏为生命的。”

中山市阿丁莱幼儿园的教育理念与其不谋而合，我们希望通过寓教于乐的IB探究式学习，为孩子的身体赋予灵魂，为心灵安上翅膀，为想象打开界限，也为他们的未来注入无限可能。

中外教联合呈现的精彩课堂，大大印证了未来教育的可实践性以及IB教学的独特魅力。从开始消除陌生感、快速融入环境的游戏式舞蹈，到情节跌宕起伏的英文绘本阅读，再到孩子们亲手塑造神秘感满满的海底世界，整个IB探究式课堂将多个学科的知识紧密结合，并通过中外教们声情并茂的授课方式，持续吸引着无数个稚嫩的脸庞。

在这个过程中，不仅仅孩子们的学识和眼界得到了提升，暴露在多元文化的环境下也让他们的个体思维得到了充分鼓励。孩子们不再束手束脚，他们大胆地分享着自己天马行空的想法和诸多想要实现的目标。即使当天的课堂时间较短暂，但依然唤醒了孩子们心底里对于世界、对于未来无限的憧憬，也让家长们了解探究式学习对孩子的教育意义。

多元课程

面向世界

我们相信在未来的世界里，时代的引领者往往是在标准之外“进行突破”，这也是为什么我们如此注重为孩子们提供全人教育。基于IB探究式学习，我们在开放日当天为家长孩子们带来了风靡全球的击剑、高尔夫、国际象棋，以及3D打印、编程等充满科技色彩的课程。此外我们还为3岁以下的婴幼儿开设了以脏脏玩为例的感官、艺术趣味探索。

在这丰富的中西体验课程背后，我们更是遴选了一批杰出的专业老师和合作伙伴予以支持，其中更是不乏有来自哈佛商学院的课程专家。可以说，中山市阿丁莱幼儿园重新定义了“拓展课程”一词。

当然，开放日展示的仅是中山市阿丁莱幼儿园多元课程的冰山一角。未来，幼儿园也将会提供更多优质的、可持续发展的多元课程，助力每一位孩子博采众长，得到全身心的发展。

糅合中西

展示明天

“如果要保持孩子与生俱来的好奇心，需要至少一个成年人的陪伴与分享，并与孩子一起发现我们生活中的奥秘所带来的喜悦和兴奋。”作为中山市阿丁莱幼儿园的中方园长，韩静女士也在开放日当天登台亮相，并与家长们分享起了自己数十年的幼儿教育心得。

除了对于幼儿园无限的憧憬之外，韩静园长更是从教育、师资、作息以及家长们最关心的空气治理问题进行深度解析。

关于教育

由幼儿园多位学术专家共同制定出了EYFS框架下的课程实践，旨在为学生科学地打造一段全人教育之旅。

关于师资

韩静园长向我们透露了中山市阿丁莱幼儿园同时吸引到了自美国佛罗里达州立大学、香港理工大学、香港教育大学等知名大学幼儿教育专业教师的加入，并组建出一支中山幼儿教育界数一数二的高水平教学管理团队。

关于作息

经过多方商讨并结合现实状况，最终制定了不同年龄段的学习生活方案，通过多元的课程和规律的作息时间，让孩子们充分享受在幼儿园的生活。

关于空气

在空气治理方面，除了采用达到国际建筑环保标准的室内外装修材质之外，幼儿园还将逐层开展多轮的空气治理工作，持续减少甲醛、VOC等有害物质的存在，并在开学前对外公布室内环境污染物质检测合格报告。此外，幼儿园还将24小时不间断地在各个区域放置空气净化器，以确保提供给学生优质的空气质量。

韩静园长的全面分享赢来了200多组家庭的一致认可，也唤起了家长们对于中山阿丁莱更多的期待。在不久的将来，由韩静园长带领的教师团队将正式开启他们全新的执教旅程，让我们共同期待她们将为大湾区教育带来的全新色彩！

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!
