On this day, Zhang Kai told Liang Yuchen that the child's household registration and name change had been completed, and the kindergarten admission application had been submitted.
This kindergarten has an interview session. The interview is mainly divided into three parts. The first part is to fill in the parents’ job position, whether the child attends an early childhood education institution, the child’s physical health, and whether they are willing to spend time with the child to participate in parent-child activities in the kindergarten. , if the child is injured, are you willing to let the school treat you immediately, etc.
This part can be filled in according to the purpose of "I am willing to spend time with my children, I believe in kindergarten".
The second part is the parent interview, which is mainly to see if the parents are easy to communicate with. The questions are divided into two parts: questions related to parents and children. These questions are mainly to understand the child's independent ability and the parents' educational philosophy from the side. Therefore, parents must have an understanding of the kindergarten in advance, and the answer should preferably be in line with the kindergarten's educational philosophy.
The third part of the child's interview is divided into two parts: physical fitness and interview. The physical fitness test includes walking on the balance beam, stacking blocks, jumping in circles and throwing balls. The interview part mainly focuses on English communication and common sense cognition.
Zhang Kai handed the prepared interview materials to Liang Yuchen and said: "Director Liang, I have listed down the questions that may be asked during the kindergarten interview. You take them back and prepare them with your sister-in-law. When you are ready, I will make an appointment with the kindergarten for the interview. "
Liang Yu took it and took a look, good guy, there are two pages in total.
When he picked up Qin Buyu after get off work, he briefly talked to Qin Buyu about the interview. As a result, Qin Buyu didn't even bother to cook when he got home, so he started reading the interview materials and trying to answer questions.
"These are simple common sense questions. Just answer them truthfully." Liang Yuchen felt that she was too nervous.
"It is still necessary to be well prepared. If the child passes the interview but the parents fail, it will be bad for the child."
"How can you, a competent mother like you, hold your child back?"
Qin Buyu didn't know for a moment whether his words were praise or sarcasm. She didn't feel that she was a competent mother. On the contrary, she felt that she owed her children a lot. For example, she didn't even send them to a formal early childhood education class. .
She was very worried that her children would not pass the English interview, so she asked Liang Yuchen if he could help the children make up for their shortcomings. So throughout the night, Liang Yuchen repeatedly asked the children the following questions in English and taught them to answer them in English:
What's your name, kid?
How old are you?
Is it a boy or a girl?
What toys do you like?
In the next few days, Liang Yuchen also communicated in English when playing with the children with building blocks. For example, he took out red, yellow, and green building blocks, said the colors first, and demonstrated how to build the blocks. Then he talked about the colors and asked Niannian and Enen to come up with the corresponding colors and build the blocks according to the instructions. Finally, the children had free play and simple interaction, and the whole process was in English.
Fortunately, Nian Nian and En En have good comprehension skills. After three or four days, they were able to answer English questions and complete game interactions on their own.
Qin Buyu was busy preparing questions related to parents. Other questions were easy to answer, but there was one question that she had not really considered before: What is the future education plan for her children?
She had no choice but to discuss it with Liang Yuchen.
Liang Yuchen only took one look at it and said it was simple, then called Zhang Kai and asked him to find professionals to design an education plan based on Nian Nian and En En's situation.
He felt that the problem was solved.
Qin Buyu was very dissatisfied with his way of solving the problem, "You are dealing with an interview in a kindergarten. I really want to know what your future education plan is for your child?"
"The children are still so young, it's too early to consider this issue." Liang Yuchen said disapprovingly, "Let's wait until they are five years old. Then you can enroll them in more interest classes. My idea is that they can learn whatever they want to learn. What, no need for planning and restrictions.”
"What if they're not interested in anything?"
"Impossible. I see that the two children are very obsessed with Lego. They also like painting and are also interested in chess."
"Then you don't have any expectations for your children? For example, what kind of university will they go to in the future and what major will they study?"
"These are not important. Rather than becoming talented, I hope they can find the fields they are interested in and good at, and live a relaxed and happy life."
Qin Buyu thought his idea was good, but it didn't feel very realistic.
Qin Buyu didn't know whether Liang Yuchen inherited the family business proactively or passively. She felt that Nian Nian and En En could not avoid taking this path, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
Since he said this, let's just believe that he really thinks so.
Almost ready for the interview, Zhang Kai made an appointment with the kindergarten for the interview.
On the day of the interview, Qin Buyu followed the experience posts written by other mothers on the Internet and changed Niannian and Enen into cooler clothes, and called Liang Yuchen in advance to ask him to dress more formally.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, the interview teacher asked a parent to take their children to play games. Because Liang Yuchen took the children to practice before at home, Qin Buyu asked him to take the two children in. As a result, after she entered the room where she watched the surveillance, I found that there were three other families brought by my mother.
The teacher sent a registration form to the parents watching the surveillance, which required them to fill in their parents’ workplace and position. Qin Buyu honestly filled in the words “Nie Yu Education and Art Training Director” and “Liang Shi” according to the answers Zhang Kai had given before. Chairman of Pharmaceutical Group”.
Zhang Kai said that as long as they filled it out in this way, Nian Nian and En En would be admitted regardless of the interview results.
Kindergarten is also a society. There was a parent next to her who kept praising his daughter as "someone else's child". She was able to communicate with her parents and foreign teachers in English at the age of two, could read many English picture books independently, and sang dozens of English songs. He was well-behaved, polite, and friendly to others, but after seeing what Qin Buyu filled in, he immediately shut up.
Although they had made adequate preparations at home, the two children were still young after all. It was their first time to experience such a scene, and in the end they "lost the chain". They only said one sentence in English during the whole process, which was "bye", and did not answer any other questions. Even when the teacher asked them their names, they ignored them.
Enen, he was following his elder brother. If his elder brother didn't say anything, he wouldn't say anything either. Nian Nian was a slow-moving child. He was very cautious in a strange environment. His reluctance to say anything was his normal reaction.
Although Zhang Kai's words came before her, Qin Buyu still felt cold. She felt that there was a high probability that she would fail the interview and would have to fight for her father. This was actually the result she least wanted to see.
Fortunately, the two children performed very well in games such as walking on the balance beam and stacking blocks, and cooperated throughout the process. They also used their creative thinking when building blocks, which greatly surprised the interviewing teacher.
Then came the cognitive test. The teacher took the cards and showed them to the children one by one, guiding the children to describe the things in the pictures. He asked about ten cards, and the contents were all common sense things, including animals, fruits and toys etc.
Nian Nian and En En both answered quickly.
After a week of anxiety, Qin Buyu finally received the kindergarten admission notice. The first interview in the lives of the two children finally ended successfully, and he began to look forward to entering the kindergarten in September.
