英国一处没有水电的森林里,隐藏着一家官方认定的优秀幼儿园….这家幼儿园的教学模式,让人有点向往呀~~

话说,

在英国多塞特郡的森林里,有这样一个小木屋,

这个小木屋不通水电,却聚集了非常多的小朋友,

同时它还有个非常梦幻的名字——精灵和仙女的森林幼儿园。

木屋的主人是这个叫Kirsteen Freer的女士,她今年57岁了。

回想起自己过去的日子,她表示最快乐的经历就是跟大自然接触的时候,那会儿没有这么多电子产品,但是大家却能在自然中找到更多的快乐。

Kirsteen的这种生活态度也影响了她的子女,所以他们一家人都非常喜欢野外探险和露营。

然而,

Kirsteen却注意到,她们这一辈人从自然中得到的满足,似乎对现在的小朋友而言很奢侈。

“许多小孩子现在已经与自然界脱节,他们每天呆在屋子里被现代技术包围,

这样的生活多无趣啊,他们需要从身边的自然中找到永恒且真实的快乐“。

于是,2007年Kirsteen在森林里建造了这间木屋幼儿园,招了五位志同道合的员工,

并且在木屋建成后,用了六年时间,打造了专属于这间幼儿园的户外课程~

Kirsteen希望大家能在这间“精灵与仙女森林幼儿园”中,忘掉现代的电子产品,体会到他们那一代人从大自然里感受到的乐趣。

因此幼儿园的课程也是非常“接地气”,尽量让大家都呆在户外。

小朋友们学着伐木。

或者让小朋友们简单的呆在户外,晒晒太阳聊聊天也是很好的~

就算雨天Kirsteen也会让大家换上雨衣和雨鞋,感受大自然不同的美妙景象。

“我希望小朋友们能感受到,没有坏天气,

如果感到雨天很厌烦,那也许只是大家穿错了衣服~“

Kirsteen的这间幼儿园起初也引起了教育部门的不满,因为这么多小朋友每天活动于户外,难免引人担心,安全和健康都存在隐患。

所以相关人员本来还想找点实锤警告一下Kirsteen。

不过他们检查过后,简直也爱上了这间幼儿园,后来教育局甚至还给这家幼儿园评了一个“优秀”的高等级。

检查人员表示,在幼儿园老师的带领下,这些小朋友们对这些户外活动非常热爱,孩子们不仅非常独立而且也更加自信。

同时,幼儿园该给予的文化教育,Kirsteen也一点没落下,只不过是换了一种更亲近自然的方式~

天气实在恶劣的时候,大家就在屋子里,用平时爬坡过程中捡回来的树枝和树叶学习算术,

树皮和树叶,以及大家在树林里捡回来的垃圾,老师清洗过后还会被小朋友们做成各种纪念品,

在森林里玩耍的过程中,各种树叶、树枝甚至云彩的形状,以及用树枝在你讲里的涂鸦,

都会成为小朋友们学习字母的天然道具。

大家也会亲手在这里种下几株属于自己的草药~

或者是小朋友们在森林里找到的各种东西,大家再一起奇思妙想的搞出不同的玩儿法。

Kirsteen很庆幸自己开了这家幼儿园。

不是为了赚钱,因为她的托儿费远低于英国平均的水平,而且为了保护孩子们的安全,她规定五名员工最多照顾12个孩子。

只是她觉得在这里,哪怕只有2岁的小孩子都会慢慢的变得越来越独立。

同时大家的反应也让她更加相信,孩子们越接触自然,就会越快乐。

很多网友也表示,这样每天在森林里跟小伙伴玩耍的日子,让他们想起了自己的童年。

那时没有这么多电子产品,但是生活好像反而过的更加开心。
