Supporting Your Child’s Transition in ECE 支持您的孩子在幼教部的过渡

The beginning of the school year in August, saw many new faces walking into Yew Chung International School of Beijing’ premises to join our Early Childhood Education Center - the most important years of a long academic journey for our youngest learners that will proceed into our Primary and Secondary Schools. 

8月新学年伊始，我们迎接许多新面孔走进北京耀中国际学校入读我们的幼儿教育部——这群年轻的小学习者在升入小学和中学前最重要的几年学术之旅。

Contrasting their older counterparts, many new ECE students walked into an unfamiliar environment, meeting new friends and spending the day with adults other than their caregivers and family members. Our ECE students’ first few weeks of schools entailed a multitude of first-time experiences that are generally very happy but can be distressing for them and their families. 

与他们的学长相比，许多幼教部的新生走进了一个陌生的环境，结识了新朋友，还与除了保姆和家人之外的成年人在一起度过了一天。我们幼教部的学生在入学的前几周经历了许多人生第一次，这些经历本身是非常愉快的，但对于他们和家人来说可能有一点艰难。

It has been eight weeks since our first day of school and we spoke to Maryanne Harper, ECE Co-ordinator about how the YCIS Beijing ECE team supports new students during the transition period to kindergarten. Below are the strategies she gave;

开学已经8周了，我们采访了幼教部主管Maryanne Harper女士，她阐述了北京耀中的幼教部团队是如何帮助新生们过渡到幼儿园的。以下是她提供的策略：

1. Clear, Consistent Routines

明确、持续的例程

Children benefit from clear and consistent routines that are established in the first days and weeks of school. Children need a sense of to whom and where they belong. They need to know what happens next.

在开学的前几天前几周，孩子们会从明确和持续的日常活动中受益。孩子们需要一种归属感。他们需要知道接下来会发生什么，会和谁在哪度过。

2. Play Time

玩耍的时间

Building relationships with each child is very important. Teachers talk, sing, play, dance and re-assure children throughout the day.

与每个孩子建立关系是非常重要的。老师们整天都在和孩子们聊天、唱歌、玩耍、跳舞，让孩子们感到安心。

3. Our K2 Settling Programme

我们的2岁班适应计划

Our youngest children in K2 start their experience here with a gradual introduction. Our K2 Settling in Programme means that children attend for half days only until they feel safe and secure in these new settings.

在这里，年龄最小的2岁班学生循序渐进的开始他们的学习之旅。我们的2岁班适应计划意味着孩子们先从只上半天开始，直到他们在新的环境中感到安全。
