The changes behind the development achievements can be felt by Yin Xue, who lives in Yunyan District. "When the eldest goes to kindergarten, he gets more than 2,300 yuan a month, and the second child only needs more than 600 yuan." When it comes to the benefits of kindergarten inclusiveness, Yin Xue's first thought is the cost change, and her two children are enrolled in the Garden Branch of the First Kindergarten in Yunyan District.

The classrooms are clean and bright, the lunch break area is warm and comfortable, and the play area is well-equipped...... Yin Xue said frankly that after the kindergarten was universalized, not only the cost was reduced a lot, but the facilities and equipment were also renewed, and she and her family were very satisfied with the children's happy growth in a comfortable environment and well-designed game courses.
In recent years, Yunyan District has been focusing on the brand building of "Learning in Yunyan", making every effort to promote the popularization, inclusive, high-quality and safe development of preschool education, constantly improving the preschool education policy system, improving the development guarantee mechanism, and meeting the people's expectations and yearning for a better life and high-quality education.
In Lin Xiaofeng's view, the achievements of preschool education are due to the fact that Yunyan District has always given priority to education and adhered to the main line of education with "excellent education for young children and good education for young children". She said: "Based on the development advantages of Yunyan preschool education, focusing on the problems of 'difficult and expensive kindergartens', we have successively formulated a series of documents such as the Action Plan for the High-quality Development of Preschool Education and the Special Plan for Kindergarten Construction to ensure that the gross enrollment rate in the first three years of kindergarten in the district is 95.02%, and the coverage rate of inclusive kindergartens is 93.75%, which is higher than the national average.

A good policy is the guide, and a good system is the support. Yunyan District adheres to the "double improvement" of teaching mode and school-running mode system, and continuously promotes the rapid development of preschool education teaching ability. On the one hand, we will focus on building a curriculum, actively explore a curriculum system suitable for children in the region, and promote game-based teaching, so that children can learn and play while playing; On the other hand, it focuses on building a model, exploring a collectivized school-running system, realizing experience sharing, resource sharing, and achievement sharing, and successfully creating 13 provincial-level demonstration kindergartens and 20 municipal-level demonstration kindergartens.

Enlightenment education is the most important stage in a person's life, and a good enlightenment teacher can lay a solid foundation for a child's growth.
Yunyan District insists on improving teachers' happiness and sense of gain, allowing happy teachers to promote high-quality education and improve the driving force for development. "Two measures have been taken to strengthen the team, one is to innovate the implementation of the 'post system' and 'dual-track system' teacher introduction, strengthen open recruitment, talent introduction, free normal students, purchase of third services, etc., strengthen salary security, supplement and stabilize the preschool teacher team." Lin Xiaofeng said that the second is to rely on the Ministry of Education's "National Training Plan for Kindergarten Teachers" to improve the teacher training system, implement the training system for all staff, and promote the regular training of kindergarten principals and full-time teachers and the rotation training of all staff to achieve full coverage; Build a professional growth channel and development platform for famous principals and teachers, and constantly encourage teachers to develop inward and grow upward.
On January 8, 2024, the education system of Yunyan District carried out the "big competition" activity of the secretary of the grassroots party branch and the full-time deputy secretary of the kindergarten in Chengxi Primary School in Yunyan District.
Whether the quality of education and teaching is good or not, the feedback is the most intuitive. Yunyan District adheres to the efficiency of management, safety and growth, and makes good use of feedback to improve the traction of evaluation.
Yunyan District focuses on the requirements of the provincial "garden standard", sets up a team of district-level instructors, formulates a supervision plan for 2023-2027, clarifies the task focus, methods and steps, regularly supervises and evaluates the kindergarten conditions, safety and health, conservation education, internal management, etc., and builds a kindergarten behavior supervision, monitoring, and evaluation index system, with a compliance rate of 100%.
The final link to the success of preschool education lies with the family and the child. Yunyan District has established a cooperation system between families and kindergartens, organized various forms of parent-child activities, parents into the classroom, parent volunteers, parent open days and other activities, and held regular parent-teacher meetings to promote mutual understanding, mutual cooperation and mutual support in the home, and jointly protect the physical and mental development of children.
Not only that, Yunyan District also improves the assessment reward and punishment mechanism, guides teachers to self-evaluation and self-improvement with "small incisions", and stimulates the internal drive of teaching; Implement the "Strong Teacher Plan" and "Blue Project", organize famous principals, backbone teachers, old teachers and young teachers to form a "master-apprentice relationship", improve the teacher evaluation system such as professional title evaluation, honor selection, and performance appraisal, and promote kindergartens to take the initiative to move towards high-quality development.
As a key part of the high-level opening up of education in Yunyan District, preschool education plays an important role in promoting high-quality educational resources to serve the needs of the masses and high-quality economic development, and can better empower urban development, industrial investment, and talent attraction. Next, Yunyan District will further optimize supply, strengthen security, promote development, and improve quality, continue to select high-quality schools in educationally developed areas to conclude friendship schools, continuously improve the quality of school running, and cultivate the brand connotation of "learning in Yunyan".
