The new semester has begun, and leaving children unsupervised after school early is a headache for many parents. "My son is in the first grade of elementary school. He was in full day care in kindergarten. We don't have to worry about it. Now that elementary school ends early, he is looking for a place to take care of him." Ms. Wang and her husband both work in the workplace and are usually busy with work. They leave early and come home late. , in order to solve the problem of children’s lunch and pick-up and drop-off after school, Ms. Wang thought of after-school care. It is understood that as the pace of work accelerates, parents are becoming busier and busier. After-school care for primary school students is getting bigger and bigger. Currently, there are three types of institutions (centers) that provide care: on-campus care, institutional care and private care. There are also "noon care", "afternoon care" and "full care". Faced with various child care classes, how should parents choose? Should the child be sent to a day care center? Positive: Trusteeship is a "work necessity" Ms. Lai: I think trusteeship is a last resort. Who is willing to leave their children in the care of others? It is inseparable from work and is a "necessity of work." It is definitely not a good thing to have children in child care when they are too young, but after they reach the second or third grade of elementary school and their mental development is relatively mature, it is still possible to have children in child care if there is no other way. Opponent: The role of parents cannot be replaced. Netizen yangyan said that if the family can arrange the transportation by themselves, it is better to do it themselves. The role of parents cannot be replaced, especially for children who have just entered school. Parents who are willing to spend time with her are crucial for her to form good study and living habits. Unless absolutely necessary, don't push this role to others, lest you regret it later. If the children fail to develop good habits, it will be the parents themselves who will have a headache in the future. School care: the most popular but becoming less and less popular. “In the past, schools had care. After school was over at 4 p.m., children could be cared for until 6 o’clock, waiting for parents to pick up their children. Later, the school stopped taking care of the children, and educational institutions outside the school took over the care. Every day After school, someone was sent to the school gate to pick them up." Auntie Xie, who has experienced child care, recalled that school care was greatly affected by the policies of the Education Bureau, and schools have continued to cancel care in recent years. Child care offered by schools should be the most popular among parents. Firstly, it is taken care of by school teachers, who can manage the students' daily life. Secondly, it is standardized and there is no need to worry about safety issues. But why, as Auntie Xie said, do many schools cancel trusteeship? It is understood that most of the day care offered by primary schools in Guangzhou is “noon day care”. Before 2009, each primary school generally had a trusteeship function. However, after the implementation of the "one-fee system", some schools canceled the trusteeship, and only some primary schools still retained it. In October last year, Guangzhou required schools to stop offering interest classes. Due to this "implication", some schools canceled day care classes. The reason is that the school care takes up a lot of resources, but the fees are low. The charging standards announced by the Guangzhou Price Bureau, Education Bureau, and Finance Bureau are 1 yuan/day for sleeping classrooms and 2.5 yuan/day for beds. day fee. In this regard, some teachers said that this is almost equivalent to "voluntary labor." The day care center provides meals, which saves parents a lot of trouble. Institutional custody type: Relying on the "letting go" of schools gradually becoming chain-operated schools, a large number of institutions and various interest training classes have opened custody services for primary school students. Such institutions are not far from primary schools and send teachers to schools after school at noon and afternoon. Students are picked up and dropped off at the door to the training institution. Not only are they provided with lunch and dinner, but they can also take a lunch break at noon, do homework or participate in interest activities in the afternoon. The reporter saw at Huangpu Golden Century that an educational institution was recruiting care students, and they had opened afternoon and evening care classes. Afternoon care is from noon to 2 p.m. The organization is responsible for picking up and dropping off after school, lunch break, and sending to school. Each teacher is responsible for 3 to 5 people; evening care is responsible for picking up and dropping off after school, homework, checking for missed vacancies, and learning feedback. Each teacher is responsible for 6-8 people. Since this institution has multiple branches, it has also opened "chain" custody services in residential communities such as Huajing New Town, Zhujiang Dijing, and R&F Taoyuan. In some newly opened schools, education and training institutions also waste no time in developing custody services.
The reporter interviewed at the Zhujiang New City campus of Xianlie East Primary School and found that before the school started, a tutoring center had put up a publicity stunt online, saying that the center was only 10 meters away from the campus and provided temporary care, after-school care, and Saturday and Sunday interest classes for primary and secondary school students. etc., which can solve the worries of parents in Zhujiang New Town. Private trusteeship type: Most of the trusteeships are privately run by retired teachers who are using their spare time. Most of them are hidden in residential buildings near schools. Some are tenants, and some are their own children. They can be slightly modified and hired one or two nannies. Enrollment has begun. Due to limited space, most private daycare centers only admit three or five children, and some have nearly 10. Private care centers are run by kindergarten teachers, retired teachers who use their spare time, and some middle-aged and elderly aunts who also use their free time to take care of children. The most popular among parents are kindergarten teachers with teaching experience and retired teachers with rich teaching experience. The reporter saw information on the Internet about "Sun Yat-sen University teachers' home care and primary school students" and called to learn that the care center has been open for three years. The owner's family is a teacher of Sun Yat-sen University and currently has several students. It mainly recruits students from the primary school affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University. It is convenient. A dual-career family that returns home late. The latest trend: "Custody for Interest" Personalized Custody In terms of methods, there are noon care, afternoon care, and full boarding care. If the children can be picked up and dropped off normally in the afternoon, parents can only choose noon care, which is generally between 12:00 and 14:00, including lunch and lunch break; if they often have to work overtime at night, parents can choose "noon care and afternoon care" and afternoon care The time is usually from 6:00 for the first and second graders to 7:00 for the third to sixth graders. You can also negotiate with the care institution. Some institutions also have "boarding full-time care". Since most custody institutions are born out of "institutions" and various interest classes, a kind of "custodial interest" personalized custody service has also emerged. The reporter learned from an institution in Tianhe District that the institution offers "basic custody" and "professional piano custody". In addition to basic custody services, students participating in "professional piano custody" also receive piano practice and teaching, and the fees are also increased accordingly. Some institutions offer "custodial tutoring"-style custody services. After the institution picks up the children, professional teachers will be responsible for the children's homework and check the homework. In addition, there are also teachers who provide "one-on-one" personalized services. Services, help children preview, review and consolidate their homework, check for gaps and fill in gaps, and ensure half an hour of lecture time every day to effectively improve children's academic performance. Reporter's observation: Custody is not "no matter". With children in custody, families with two working parents have no worries. Therefore, some parents think that since the school is in charge of the classroom and the daycare center is in charge of the extracurricular activities, they can just "don't care" anymore. Is this really the case? Not really. Parents in custody not only cannot "ignore", but also need to "manage" more skillfully. First of all, we must "manage" the transitional period of first-year students. There is a span from kindergarten children to first-grade primary school students. Parents must grasp the changes in children's behavior during this transition process, cultivate good study habits in children, and help them pass the "transition period." Secondly, although it is in trust, the parent-child relationship cannot be "trusted". Child care centers can never replace parents. You should be the protagonist of the parent-child relationship. Picking your children up, telling them stories, and taking them to watch movies on weekends are all parent-child activities that will affect your children's spiritual growth.
