Dear parents and children,
The new year is about to come, we will soon bid farewell to the past in the first snow. For the world, 2020 goes by so fast yet not friendly. Many people are experiencing various losses, such as loss of health, loss of family members, loss of life and loss of job. When we look back at such a special year of 2020, what words will you use to describe and summarize your 2020, and what message will you send to your 2021? For Newton Bayside, I would like to make a summary with "gratitude" and "connotation" in 2020, and a starting of "improvement" and "quality" in 2021.
"Gratitude" that all the children and staff are safe and healthy under the epidemic situation; "Gratitude" to parents who always keep trust and support for our kindergarten in the face of difficulties; "Gratitude" to dedicated teachers and staff who always work hard, no matter during the suspension of classes or after the resumption. It is with the joint efforts that kindergarten can continue to develop smoothly in such an extraordinary year of 2020, we can have greater confidence to reflect on our original intention of education, and more clearly plan the development direction of kindergarten in the new year from the perspective of children.
"Connotation" development is the most important mission in the continuous progress of Bayside campus. In 2020, we respect children's nature more and pay more efforts on exploring the play-based learning. We upgraded the outdoor castle slide on the playground into a larger slide and tree house combination made of Finnish wood; we increase the sand water construction play and building block combination construction activities; In 2020, we pay more attention to the significance of activities for children's development, and focus on children's feeling of experience and harvests from activities, let each activity become a stage for children to perform and grow; in 2020, we concentrated on highlighting characteristics, devoted ourselves to the creation of natural courses and music courses, and better integrate campus characteristics into courses and games. Every time I saw the children were immersed in the activities, designed sand and water construction drawings with their friends, explored and improved the blocks building methods, shuttled from tree house to slide, and the interesting lesson stories that happened with every small things in the four seasons, all let our belief of "let the children go outdoors more, harvest and growth in exploration, operation, experience, cooperation" more stronger.
In 2021, we will celebrate our 15th anniversary. On the basis of 15 years of accumulation and inheritance, we will use "enhancement" and "quality" as the work direction in 2021. The campus managers will make more efforts on planning the development direction in the new year, lead the teaching team to stick to the original intention and mission of education, constantly make self-improvement and self-creation. While maintaining the consistent international vision, professional and high-quality early childhood education service, strive for progress in stability, create a more energetic and warm kindergarten, and become a growth paradise loved by children and trusted by parents.
Here, I would like to express my best wishes to you on behalf of all the staff in Bayside campus!
Be safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Principal Joanne Yang and all the staff
