After visiting the preschool, the team had an exchange meeting with the parents from Laowu Village Preschool and paid a visit to children whose family is in plight.

By face-to-face communication, it was clear that all of parents attach great importance to children's education, even in family with financial problems, the parents would send their children to the preschool. When children went back from the preschool, they could eat by themselves, volunteer to help their parents do housework, and show songs and dance performances they learned to their parents. And that, above all, made parents feel gratified.

At the parent-teacher conference, Li Jiancai, an officer of Humana People to People, added that the age of 3 to 6 is a critical stage for child development. The daily teaching of Preschools of The Future is dominated by games and learning through play. At the same time, it pays attention to cultivate children's good health habits. Therefore, children in Preschools of The Future will gradually learn to wash their faces, brush their teeth and eat by themselves in 2-3 weeks.

After two days of field visits, the team learned that Preschools of the Future projects of Humana People to People were always carried out in the much-needed and remote rural areas. Since the project was launched, it has not only been strongly supported by the local education department, but also positively affirmed by teachers and parents. In the next few years, we hope to work together towards the common goal of “bringing a better future to children in remote rural areas by providing quality preschool education services”.

The project takes pre-school education as the breakthrough point, to establish standardized preschools in poor rural areas. The project renovates and decorates idle rooms in the village and uses them as classrooms to provide a safe and comfortable learning and playing environment for children. The curriculum focuses on the knowledge of nature, animals, nutrition and health, as well as how to express themselves through art and music, so that preschool-age children living in rural areas can also get all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and arts. Enrolling children aged 3-6 in classes with different ages, the project starts from two modules: teaching hardware upgrade and teacher development. At the same time, the project supervises and manages the daily operation of the preschool, assists teachers in training parents, creates a safe and healthy learning and living environment for those children, allows them to enjoy a quality pre-school education, enables them to obtain diversified opportunities for healthy growth, and make full preparations for entering primary school.
