This "little migratory bird" summer daycare class has helped parents relieve their worries and finally no longer separates summer daycare classes from each other

"I have been working in Shanghai for nearly ten years, and I haven't let my children go to the Bund yet." This is the most common sigh of Wang Zhenzhen, the head of Xiyuguan pickled Chinese cabbage Fish Restaurant in Pudong in recent years.

On August 9, 2023, Wang Zhenzhen came to the children's summer daycare class at the development center of Dongming District to see off her child. With the start of the summer daycare class in mid July, she and her child finally reunited this summer. Not only did she let the child stay with her, but last week, the teachers of the summer daycare class also took her son Zhou Shibo to the Bund, making up for her regret for her child all along.

Her hometown is in Henan, and she and her husband have been working in Shanghai for more than ten years. Her 13-year-old child stays in her hometown to go to school. Every summer vacation, other children from other families play with their parents during the summer vacation, but she has ushered in the busiest time of summer business. "Even if the child comes, there's nowhere to go. I'm busy in the store, but the child is not familiar with the environment here. Let's stay in the restaurant. With so many customers, it's inconvenient. If we go out to play and there are no acquaintances around the child, I'm also worried."

Wang Zhenzhen had no choice but to let her child stay in her hometown. After work, if the child didn't sleep, she would video chat with the child to ease her longing. Every day, she watched other parents gathering with their children at the restaurant, and she envied them. And the time I spend with my child every year is only a few short days during the Chinese New Year. "My child is 13 years old, and the time I spend with him over the years doesn't add up to this holiday!" But this summer of 2023, she finally no longer worries about being thousands of miles away.

Wang Zhenzhen came to the neighborhood development center to send his child to the World Expo.

On that day, a small host activity was held in class, and Wang Zhenzhen recorded a video of the child's speech on the side.

Zhou Bobo wrote down his mother's job introduction on paper.

On the afternoon of August 9th, the teacher of the summer daycare class led the children to do a small host activity, asking each child to introduce their family's business. Wang Zhenzhen's child, Zhou Bobo, wrote down on paper the place and specific work of his mother's work. "Mom is very busy, leaves early, and leaves late" is his impression of his mother's work.

This holiday was also his happiest summer vacation. At the beginning, when he heard that he was coming to Shanghai for summer vacation, he kept asking his mother if there were any children playing with him. Lack of playmates was his biggest concern. Now, he is the king of children in the summer daycare class, and his friends have a good relationship with him.

Zhou Bobo and his friends are playing happily, and now he is the "king of children" here.

Chen Shaojun's 10-year-old daughter, who also opened the "Shuangchenji" pickled Chinese cabbage fish on the street, is also in the summer nursery class. Half an hour before the start of the class, he took his children to the summer nursery class early. "My daughter has always enjoyed playing the piano. I am busy with business and it's not convenient to have a piano in a small restaurant. The diners come and go, and there's no such environment. My daughter plays the piano here, and there are also professional teachers to guide her. I can rest assured."

Chen Shaojun, who sent the child to practice the piano in advance, listened to the child's performance.

According to Lao Chen, he and his lover are busy in the restaurant all day long, and the place where children spend the most time from childhood to adulthood is also the restaurant, which is the most headache inducing during the summer. There are many guests and a lot of noise in the restaurant, and he is also busy. He is not at ease with his child staying inside and has been thinking about finding a place for him to go. Now with this summer daycare class, the activities are abundant and free, the children are happy, and I am also at ease.

After class, the children of the summer care class came to visit and interact with Zhou Shibo's mother's pickled Chinese cabbage fish shop.

Zhou Bobo helped his mother set the table, dishes, and chopsticks.

Although I can see you every day this summer, Wang Zhenzhen still can't see enough. Before leaving, Wang Zhenzhen wiped away the sweat from the tip of his nose for the Zhou World Expo.

The children are on the Bund. More than half of the children are coming to Shanghai for the first time.

According to Lu Jiayi, a staff member of the Dongming District Development Center, in order to create the "Block Innovation Plan" and solve the problem of caring for small migratory birds in Lingyan South Road merchants with a down-to-earth international bilingual summer care service, the plan is to provide over 400+half day care services for the children of more than 20 merchants, so that merchants can have worry free business. Make full use of the resources of party building and joint construction. In addition to inviting various public welfare experts and teachers to teach extracurricular activities every day, we also took the children to visit places such as Jiangnan Shipbuilding, Shanghai Telecom Museum, and Shanghai New York University. We also took the children to visit the places where their parents work and learned about the hardships of working in Shanghai. It is understood that more than half of the children are visiting Shanghai for the first time, and teachers also use their spare time to take them to popular attractions such as the Bund for check-in.
