嗨，我叫Wenfei，是一名三个孩子的母亲。我和我的先生、三个孩子住在墨尔本。我们全家定居澳大利亚已经七年多了。
我的女儿安妮在三岁时参加了三岁幼儿园计划，目前正在参加四岁幼儿园计划。
安妮有时候胆小怕羞，所以我们从一开始就希望她能够在一个安全的环境中多结交一些朋友，学习新的东西，同时发展语言技能。
我们之前在网上做了不少研究，还与其他的家长进行了交流。我们就是这样知道了幼儿园提供的早教计划以及“Find a Kinder”网站。
这些获得政府批准的计划，由专职教师负责施行。安妮在幼儿园寓教于乐的环境中学到了很多东西，而且想象力也到了充分地锻炼。在这样一个重要的年龄阶段，我们希望她能够在得到很好照顾的同时也能够获得全面发展，所以选择为她报读了一所提供三岁幼儿园计划的幼儿园。
自从安妮去了幼儿园后，我们注意到她会比以前更加有意识地去关注身边的人，与其他人在一起的时候，团体归属感的意识也增强了很多，而且现在她更加善于表达自己了。
我们还发现她的精细运动技能也得到了提高。看到她在幼儿园掌握了这些技能，我们感到非常地高兴。
在幼儿园有机会结识来自其他文化背景的小伙伴对安妮来说也是十分有益，这有助于她了解澳大利亚文化的多元性。安妮的小伙伴们也能够对她的文化有所了解。
最重要的是，她每天都很开心，并且很期待第二天再去幼儿园。
安妮目前正在参加四岁幼儿园计划。看到安妮有了这么大的进步，我们全家都非常地高兴，很期待她明年开始上小学。
在较早的年龄阶段接受高质量的幼儿早期教育能够为儿童今后的发展带来更多积极的影响。

Hi, my name is Wenfei, a mum of three. I live with my husband and 3 kids in Melbourne. We’ve been in Australia for over 7 years.
My daughter Anne has attended Three-Year-Old Kindergarten. Now she is in Four-Year-Old Kindergarten.
Anne is a bit shy sometimes. We wanted her to be more social, learn more things and develop her language skill at a place that’s also a safe environment for her.
We did some research online and also spoke to other parents. And that’s how we learned about the kindergarten programs and the ‘Find a Kinder’ website.
These are programs run by a teacher and approved by the government. While she’s there, Anne learns lots of different things while playing and gets to use her imagination. We wanted her to be well cared for at this important age. We chose to enrol her at a childcare that runs a Three-Year-Old Kindergarten program.
Being at kindergarten, we have noticed Anne being more aware of people around her and having a better sense of belonging as part of a group. She has become better at expressing herself.
We have found that her fine motor skills have been improved as well. We are pleased to see all these skills she has gained at the kindergarten.
We also think it’s good for Anna to have friends from other backgrounds to play with, so she understands the diverse culture of Australia. And her friends get to learn about her culture too.
And most importantly, she is happy every day she he is still excited to go back the next day.
Now Anne is attending the Four-Year-Old-Kindergarten. Given so much she has progressed, we are excited for Anne to start school next year.
Starting a quality kindergarten program at an earlier age leads to even more positive effects on child development.
