A huge outdoor space with a wider variety of toys and structures than I usually see at centers in Lincoln, NE.
Shoes are only worn on hard floors. There are foot prints next to any soft floor or carpet to remind the children to take off their shoes.
They are so into using recycled materials that the shelf is made of cardboard boxes.
Painting projects are left out so that children may paint whenever they want to rather than it being a special activity that all the children have to do at a specified time.
They were making flowers out of paper cups.
Music is a large part of Chinese education.
There were lots of labels to show children where to put things away independently.
They made a toilet that the children could practice flushing and learn not to be afraid
This kitchen set is made of foam board. The teachers made nearly everything. Very few things are purchased.
Mazes seem popular in kindergartens in China. This one used metallic contact paper to cover the cardboard boxes.
This marble maze was made by the teachers.
This is a telephone game that the teachers made.
Music in another classroom. The teacher had the computer set up so the children could see themselves on the tv.
Another shadow puppet show.
A board where the kids hung the cups with pipe cleaner hooks.
This center has a very large block room that the classes can take turns using.
These children are painting self portraits. Again, they are free to paint when they wish with minimal supervision.
The teachers in China seem to like hanging ribbons to divide space in a room or in doorways. This teacher used strips of paper.
