At that time, she worked hard and was not afraid of hardship. Don't ask for promotion or salary increase, just learn more valuable work experience.
Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and she has become the director of Xi 'an Daya Kindergarten. Time flies, everything around us has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the only constant is the heart that loves children.
I remember the day of the interview. When I first met Xie Jing, I was attracted by her temperament. A thick black hair, a faint makeup on her face, and a pair of eyes with colorless frames are more cultural. Tall figure, fitted clothes, years seem to take special care of her, leaving no trace of time on her face. Although it has passed the age of no doubt, it still maintains its youthful appearance.
If I hadn't known in advance, I really thought she was a beautiful young ballerina in front of me.
If I had known we were coming, rose tea had been prepared on the table in advance, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.
You can see the rainbow after the storm.

Many people say that Xie Jing is a winner in life, with a happy family and a smooth job. She is fighting for the cause she loves, and she is also strict with herself in life, which is an example for many women to learn.
However, behind all the beauty, there is an unknown sad process.
In the early days of kindergarten, it encountered great difficulties and its future was bleak. Some employees even have the idea of leaving their jobs. Although Xie Jing was anxious, he didn't talk to them alone, but devoted all his energy to the planning and construction of the kindergarten. That stage should be her most stressful time.
She had hesitated and hesitated, but every time she saw the innocent eyes of the children, listened to the voice of the immature children shouting "Director Mom" and thought that many employees would never leave her, her heart suddenly became firm, and she wanted to turn pressure into motivation.
Therefore, she no longer hesitated, devoted herself to her work, visited her children's homes, communicated with every parent, kept abreast of their situation, and remembered their names and home addresses. Communicate with the team and actively solve problems. These experiences taught Xie Jing tolerance and letting go. Everyone has his own choice, and it is more important to be himself.
Xie Jing's success in her career also depends on the support of her family. Although I spend little time with my family, I don't care for my family as much as I do for kindergarten children, although my family complained a little at first. However, her selfless work deeply touched her family. I am very happy to see her doing her own thing, and my family is also happy for her and gives more support and encouragement.
She said, "Every child is an angel. Although young, he can't express himself, but the child is very sensitive. They know who loves them. Every time they call me the director's mother, it is my happiest moment. "
Pay attention to details and protect seedlings.
◇◆◇
When it comes to children, Xie Jing's eyes are full of love. She said that the child's smile seemed magical and she felt very happy every time she saw it.
In her mind, every child is a small seed, which needs to provide a suitable environment and inject true, good and beautiful nutrition in order to grow faster and better. What she is doing now is to take good care of these small seeds and provide them with a steady stream of nutrients so that they can grow better.
Children's growth needs adequate sleep, and it is not enough to sleep at night. Many kindergartens have lunch breaks. But unlike other kindergartens, Daya's children sleep on the ground during lunch break, instead of ordinary shelf beds.
When I heard that, I couldn't help being surprised. How can I let my child sleep on the ground and be more comfortable as a bed?
Xie Jing explained, "Let children sleep on the ground to meet their psychological needs. There is floor heating on the ground, and we will spread thick mats and bedding on the ground. The teacher will accompany the children during their lunch break. This form is easier to give children a sense of security and belonging than sleeping on a shelf bed alone. Some children like to pull their mother's clothes and hands when they sleep, and teachers can also give them such behavioral satisfaction when they are with their children. Children's psychological feelings are no different from those at home, and they will naturally sleep more practically. "
Love is the embodiment of every detail. Every child is a small sapling and needs to be watered with love. Don't worry, give him enough time to watch him blossom slowly and eventually grow into a tree.
Build scaffolding and find happiness.
◇◆◇
The famous educator Chen Heqin once said that children are not "villains", and their psychology is different from that of adults. Childhood is not only a preparation for adults, it also has its own value. We should respect children's individuality and cherish their innocence.
Xie Jing has always adhered to this educational philosophy. In her eyes, every child is an elf. They have their own ideas and choices. What principals and teachers can do is to better guide and inspire children to build scaffolding for their own thinking, and support and encourage them instead of denying the idea of killing them.
She said that in children's world, there is no strict right or wrong, only suitable and unsuitable. All seemingly wrong answers often have deeper reasons behind them.
Once in a food class, a child insisted that vinegar was spicy. The first reaction of many adults is to deny his idea. Vinegar is obviously sour, not spicy.
Xie Jing didn't rush to deny it, but was thinking that children don't lie. There must be a reason why he said that. As the head of the school, he should ask the children why. After asking, I realized that children love to drink Laba porridge and put minced garlic in vinegar in advance, so vinegar tastes spicy.
Although I only asked the children one more sentence, I kept every child's precious childlike innocence, inspired their thinking and made them grow up more happily.
Drama education activities are often held in parks. Different from other kindergartens, the script of drama education is not ready-made, but comes from children's own stories, and teachers put these stories in order.
The initiative of drama education is entirely in the hands of children, who are free to choose the roles they want to play, and there are no fixed lines. On the contrary, the teacher guides the children into the role and makes them put themselves in the position of thinking about what they should say in that situation, as long as the meaning expressed is correct.
If you do this, you often need to rehearse many times in advance, so that children can better play their roles, but teachers are willing to pay such time and energy.
As to why this is done, Xie Jing replied: "When the choice is given to the children, the teacher only plays a guiding role and will not interfere too much. This will make it easier to stimulate children's imagination and expressive power and build scaffolding for children's thinking. It is also more conducive to the growth of children. "
Although children are young, they still have their own ideas and opinions. As adults, we should protect children's imagination and creativity, provide them with free play space, and help them learn to choose and follow their own life path.
Lead by example and open your heart.
◇◆◇
"Please kneel down and talk to the children" and "When the teacher meets the children, bow and say hello to each other" are Xie Jing's most basic requirements for the teacher.
On the surface, it seems to be two simple sentences, and it takes some perseverance and courage to implement them.
Squatting down to talk to children makes it easier to get closer to them and make them feel love and respect. Children are very sensitive and smart. They can easily observe each other's love or hate, draw closer to their children's hearts, make them feel warm, and they will be more willing to open their hearts and feel more secure.
In Daya Kindergarten, all teachers know all the children, and all the children know all the teachers. Just like a big family, the relationship between people is closer.
Many people think it's easy for teachers to greet their children when they meet. There's no need to bow, is there?
In Xie Jing's eyes, practice is more important than oral education. The teacher's bowing to the child is actually playing a good demonstration role. Children's imitation ability is very strong, and they will unconsciously imitate the teacher's behavior, which also helps to develop good behavior habits.
"Many parents report that their children still maintain a good habit of meeting and greeting after graduating from primary school, which is liked by new teachers and classmates." Xie Jing said this with a happy face, as if her child had been praised.
deep ploughing and intensive cultivation
◇◆◇
Xie Jing not only gives children more space to play, but also gives teachers more space to play. She firmly believes that she is not fighting alone.
Adhering to an educational goal, teachers can freely choose the form and place of classes, and even create some brand-new classes. In any case, their goal is unified, that is, everything is only for the better growth of children! In order to achieve this goal, director Xie is not alone, but leads the whole team to fight.
Xie Jing said his team was like bees in a hive. Bees are the most industrious creatures and know how to unite and cooperate. Their internal organizations have a clear division of labor and perform their duties. Every bee is tirelessly busy in his "post" and enjoys it.
Even the elegant appearance of the building is modeled after the honeycomb design. Whether it's the director, the teacher, the children or the staff on duty, everyone enjoys their work like a close family.
Chatting, Xie Jing suddenly some mood changes. Only after asking did I know that she really wanted to express her gratitude to the teachers and other employees in the park through this interview. When she was most helpless, it was the strength of the team that gave her more support and help; When you encounter difficulties, it is the encouragement of the team that makes you cheer up again; When you are frustrated and want to retreat, the sense of mission and responsibility to the team will make you stand up again and move on!
Strict self-discipline, exquisite model
◇◆◇
What kind of woman can afford a model of "elegance and exquisiteness"?
Behind the real elegance is a woman's insistence on a better life. Self-disciplined women have elegant capital. Managing herself well and restraining herself in life is one of the reasons why she has always remained beautiful.
Now, no matter how busy he is at work, Xie Jing still takes time out to study every day. There are all kinds of books on her desk, most of which are closely related to early childhood education. She said that this era is developing so fast that if you don't study, you will be left behind by the times.
Besides reading, she will also take part in various exchange activities. Every once in a while, she will go to kindergartens in Taiwan Province Province to exchange and study, introduce new ideas and ideas, and constantly improve herself. The ultimate goal is only one: everything is only for the better growth of children!
Along the way, from the most basic kindergarten teacher to the director of Xi 'an Daya Kindergarten, I have hesitated and hesitated, faced doubts and puzzles, and won applause and praise. She keeps moving forward in her own direction, and like many teachers with dreams, she builds a paradise of truth, goodness and beauty for her children, patiently guarding and waiting for the germination of that seed!
