Recently, the Minhang Branch of the China Welfare Association Nursery welcomed the first batch of large class graduates, which is also the first branch of the China Welfare Association Nursery in its 70 years of operation. It will export high-quality educational resources to serve the needs of a wider range of families and society. At the 2023 graduation charity performance of the China Welfare Association Kindergarten, 185 senior class graduates from Huashan Garden and Minhang Branch took the stage together for the first time. The graduation ceremony is the first growth ceremony in children's lives, and it is also the "education of love" given to children by kindergartens. In this graduation charity performance with the theme of "Love is My Eyes", all the funds raised through the performance will be donated to the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation to help children in schools for blind children.
This year marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Song Qingling, one of the founders of the New China, the honorary chairman of the country, and the founder of the China Welfare Association. The children sang the song "Give the Most Precious Things to Children", marking the beginning of their graduation performance. The first batch of graduates from Minhang Branch expressed gratitude to their teachers, parents, and friends for accompanying them all the way. Every child in the senior class walked onto the stage with blessings and expectations, expressing gratitude to their teachers and parents through singing and dancing. "It's raining, closing time, Little Balazi is having a meeting!"... In the program "Remembering Childlike innocence in the alley time", the children sing Shanghai nursery rhymes, play alley games, and travel through time to return to the childhood of their parents and ancestors. In the program "Towards the Future Together", Olympic table tennis champion Wang Liqin and the children perform dynamic dances. The children are confident and full of energy, rushing towards their own brilliant future. Every graduating class member takes the stage to receive their graduation certificate, and all the graduates and teacher representatives sing passionately: "Because of you, childhood is sweet; because of you, the world is beautiful; because of you, I understand the meaning of love..."
In 2019, China Welfare Association signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Minhang District to jointly promote cooperation in the education sector. In September 2020, the Minhang branch of the China Welfare Association Kindergarten opened for enrollment, which was also the first branch of the China Welfare Association Kindergarten. Relying on the national "Infant and Child Care Service Training Base" platform, the China Welfare Association Nursery will continue to play a leading and radiating role as a demonstration kindergarten in Shanghai, effectively carry out the same quality operation and collaborative development of multiple departments in one kindergarten, serve the needs of more families and society, and contribute to the "good education of children".
For children, graduation ceremony is an unforgettable experience of discovering and reaping growth. Looking back on the four years of living and playing in the China Welfare Association daycare center, children have immersed themselves in the "Love and Health" curriculum for growth. The "soil of love" of the China Welfare Association daycare center has taught children to respect, tolerate, and share with each other, to get along equally with others, and to care for others. In their young hearts, the seeds of honesty, integrity, and kindness are quietly sprouting. "Through this ritualistic activity, the children expressed their love and gratitude to the people around them with beautiful songs and dances, and took on small social responsibilities with practical actions. While feeling love, they also conveyed love and warmth to more people in need," said Fang Yue from the China Welfare Association Nursery.
