"We are all willing to be the lights in the mountains and fog of the children, the bright moon and the breeze of the children, and we hope that they will explore the wider world." This is the voice of Qiang Min, a teacher at Beichen Street Kindergarten, in a teacher's style display.
In the eyes of children, she is a loving and strong mother; In the eyes of parents, she is a professional home education instructor; In the eyes of her colleagues, she is an excellent guide...... In the past 15 years of teaching, Qiang Min has silently sailed in the blue starry sky of preschool education in the name of love, so that every child can grow up happily.
The sowing of love begins in the heart
"Good morning, strong mom...... In the early morning, seeing Qiang Min standing at the door of the kindergarten on Beichen Street, the children greeted her from time to time. Every day, Qiang Min always comes to the kindergarten early to welcome the arrival of the children; After school in the afternoon, she went home after the safety check.
Thinking about what children think, thinking about what children think, feeling what children feel, standing at the starting point of children's lives, Qiang Min feels that there are many things that can be done. In her view, every child is a unique seed that needs to be discovered, cared for, and watered with love in order to thrive.
In daily teaching activities, whether it is cleaning stains on the children's laundry pants or preparing clothes in advance for them to change at any time; Whether it is using weekends to communicate with parents about their children's performance at home and in kindergarten, or sending love and warmth to left-behind children and children from divorced families...... Qiang Min is always so careful, patient, and loving. She always insists on treating every child equally, patiently and meticulously capturing their interests and strengths, developing children's natural potential, fastening the first button in life, and letting children spend a happy childhood in kindergarten.
Hard work moisturizes things silently
"To be a preschool teacher, love is not enough, but also the wisdom of education." Qiang Min is not only a caring teacher, but also an educator who has the courage to explore and innovate. In her work, she always adheres to the educational philosophy of "let every child grow freely", and is good at guiding children's growth and making friends with them. Qiang Min understands that the essence of preschool education is to light a flame rather than inculcate knowledge, and it is enough to create a loving and free learning environment for children.

Qiangmin constantly explores the implementation strategies of curriculum life and curriculum gamification, takes children as the foundation, seeks educational opportunities in life, discovers children's growth points, and guides children to express their emotions in true activities full of children's atmosphere.

Moving forward steadily step by step, Qiang Min has grown from an ordinary teacher to the executive director of Beichen Street Kindergarten. However, no matter how her identity changes, her love and dedication to education remain the same.
In her work, she can empathize with the needs of teachers, provide a stage for every teacher to develop, and set an example for young teachers as a confidant sister; She often talks with the teachers so that they can find happiness and a sense of belonging in their work.
In addition to work, Qiang Min also led the team to actively participate in public welfare undertakings, and organized teachers to go into urban communities, elderly care centers, and remote mountainous areas to help and show love, and convey love and warmth with practical actions.
Education and teaching work is the foundation of the kindergarten, and teaching and research is the foundation of the kindergarten.

"I am my child's teacher, and my child is also my teacher, teaching and learning and growing together," Qiang Min said, choosing the career ......of preschool education, is to choose dedication, choose responsibility. After 15 years of preschool education, for Qiang Min, there is a youthful restlessness, sleepless anxiety, and the satisfaction of peaks and loops, and the surprise of tasting Ganlin. Educating people with love, moisturizing things silently, Qiangmin always firmly believes that as long as you can give your child a smile, your child will return you with a warm spring.
