Who founded Nanjing Gulou Kindergarten?

The founder of Gulou Kindergarten is Chen Heqin, a famous educator.

Chen Heqin is the founder of modern early childhood education in China, and also a famous child educator and child psychologist.

Chen Heqin put forward the theory of "life education", calling for the establishment of a teacher training system for children's education and devoting his life to the research and practice of early childhood education. Chen Heqin believes that the purpose of "life education" is "to be a person, to be a China person and to be a modern China person".

Being a man is the most common purpose of "living education". Chen Heqin believes that the curriculum content of traditional education is fixed, so he concretizes the content of life education as "five fingers activity".

That is, health activities, social activities, scientific activities, artistic activities and literary activities, with the aim of cultivating children's ideal life.

Nanjing Gulou Kindergarten, formerly known as Gulou Kindergarten, was founded by the famous educator Mr. Chen Heqin on 1923.

This is the first kindergarten in the history of China to carry out education and scientific research. Under the guidance of Mr. Chen, Gulou Kindergarten has achieved remarkable experimental results, and compiled and published books such as Kindergarten Unit Teaching, Children's Games and Children's Rhythm. From 65438 to 0928, according to the experimental results of Gulou kindergarten, the Ministry of Education drew up the Kindergarten Curriculum Standard and issued it to the whole country.

Gulou kindergarten became the national experimental center for early childhood education at that time, enjoying a high reputation in the field of preschool education at home and abroad. After the national liberation, in August 1952, Mr. Chen Heqin took the initiative to request that the Gulou Kindergarten be handed over to the Nanjing Municipal People's Government and renamed as Nanjing Gulou Kindergarten.
