0-12 years old, from physical development to growth counseling... Walking into the "Children's Home" located in the Pingjiang residential area of Yichuan Road Street, people will find that as long as they can think of the needs of children, they can find resources here to meet.
Kid friendly space
"Make a dojo in a shell of a snail lion", this is the greatest wisdom of the general branch of the party and the neighborhood committee of the Pingjiang residential area in the face of limited resources. Through the mobilization of community autonomy forces, community volunteers and talents have become the biggest helpers of the party general branch and the neighborhood committee, and jointly created four projects such as "0-3 year old infant activities", "parent-child reading story meeting", "interest group" and "mental health care counseling", which fully cover the needs of children of all ages aged 0-12.
Child-friendly gathering place
In order to make efficient use of the limited indoor space, the party general branch, the neighborhood committee, volunteers, and talents jointly designed a timetable for staggered peak opening. Under the guidance of professionals, parents use activities such as parent-child story meetings to scientifically cultivate children's reading interests and habits; and then rely on calligraphy, painting, handicrafts and other courses, all parties work together to further enrich children's spare time. The psychological counselors who come here have also become "architects" with unique roles - the "through bridges" connecting the hearts of children and parents are "completed" in turn.
From indoors to outdoors, you can see unique imprints of children's growth process. On both sides of the outdoor trail, art wall paintings created by children will present major themes such as celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the construction of civilization in the new era, and the classification of environmental protection and garbage.
In this way, the children in the community record their own journey and give back the love and support from the community.
Fun activities combined
For the children of Pingjiang residential area, "poetry and far away are also not far away", because around everyone, there is also a stage close to nature - children's vegetable garden, which is still the masterpiece of the group of community masters who have been activated by the general branch of the party and the neighborhood committee.
Through online searches and teacher searches, the children who solved one gardening problem after another also became propaganda teams and planters - teams of younger children found their "idols" here. The growth path of learning knowledge and advocating life has silently sprouted and gradually taken shape in the hearts of more and more children.
These children's vegetable gardens not only help children master knowledge, but also become a special position for everyone to build a "big me". Whenever the harvest is harvested, the "small vegetable farmers" will give their own harvest obligations to the elderly in the community. The glory of "I am a member of Pingjiang" has made everyone more aware of their mission and responsibility as a member of the community, and gradually cultivated a strong interest in consciously participating in the construction of civilization in the new era.
Although the space is small, the "all-age, all-round" contrast is as strong as a magnet to attract the children living in the community, so that everyone can't help but use this place as the starting aircraft carrier port of their own lives - let themselves grow up happily in the happy ocean of swimming. In the future, relying on the Children's Home, Pingjiang Residential Area will continue to improve the level of community children's services, and make greater efforts to create a friendly and vibrant child-friendly community to escort the healthy growth of the flowers of the motherland.
