Chapter 691 - 540: ’Late Overtures Are Worth Less Than Grass’—Parents May Not Appreciate It
At this moment, a meeting is taking place at Hu Jin Kindergarten.
Reflecting on the frequent meetings at the kindergarten, Huang Jun couldn’t help but feel a mixture of emotions.
Before stepping into the kindergarten workplace, he had never imagined that kindergarten would require meetings.
That’s right!
He had once thought that kindergarten was a paradise where teachers played with children, and after school, teachers could clock out on time to enjoy their family life.
But when he actually started working at the kindergarten...
He realized how naive his thoughts were!
It turns out, the variety of meetings in the kindergarten is vast. Whether it is discussions before preparing events, safety training sessions, or teaching activity meetings that teachers must attend but he himself doesn’t need to, they are all endless.
Luckily, there is no meeting at Dorami Kindergarten today.
After distributing Laba porridge to the parents, he picked up Qingqing and Weiwei from the classroom, and happily took them on the way home.
Even though not having a meeting made him feel relaxed, Hu Jin Kindergarten’s meeting today was closely connected to Dorami Kindergarten, indirectly relating to him as well.
Since the video account of Dorami Kindergarten went viral on the internet, it has continued to attract the attention of many netizens.
Even now, every time a new video is released, the comment section remains lively, with everyone praising the kindergarten meals and expressing their wish for their child to become part of Dorami. A lot of people are playing various interesting memes.
In addition, Dorami Kindergarten plans to open new classes next semester, which has made many parents who were already considering transferring schools even more tempted.
They quickly visited Dorami Kindergarten to ask about related matters and couldn’t wait to register their intentions.
This trend has swept not only Dorami Kindergarten but also other kindergartens throughout the city.
Of course.
The hardest hit among them is undoubtedly Hu Jin Kindergarten, which is just a street away from Dorami Kindergarten.
Because the two kindergartens are close to each other, parents often compare Hu Jin Kindergarten with Dorami Kindergarten in terms of meals and other aspects.
Now, the situation has worsened, with many parents directly expressing to their children’s homeroom teachers a strong desire to transfer schools next semester, which has posed unprecedented challenges and pressures for Hu Jin Kindergarten.
Today, Hu Jin Kindergarten has specifically convened this meeting to deeply discuss and formulate strategies in hopes of effectively retaining the interest of parents who intend to transfer schools.
Simultaneously, they will hold discussions on whether the kindergarten should establish a video account to share daily activities and exciting moments within the kindergarten.
As the meeting commenced, Li Huizhen quickly focused on the core issue of the meeting, and directly posed a crucial question that urgently needs resolving: "Facing those parents who are contemplating transferring their child due to various concerns next semester, how can we actively strategize to regain their trust? Exploring and constructing a practical and effective retention plan is our top priority."
Her words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples and deeply touching every teacher and management member present, making them acutely aware of the gravity of this issue, which affects the kindergarten’s reputation, image, and long-term future blueprint.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense, filled with thoughts and urgency.
After a brief silence...
Teachers and leaders began enthusiastically speaking up, positively offering their suggestions:
"Firstly, I believe we should conduct a comprehensive parent satisfaction survey to thoroughly understand the parents’ concerns and suggestions. Only in this way can we accurately grasp the key issues and provide strong data support for formulating retention strategies."
"We might try to innovate the curriculum, adding some interesting and challenging activities to make the learning process more appealing to the children, thereby indirectly attracting the parents."
"Ensuring the safety of kindergarten facilities and the cleanliness of the environment is a key concern for parents, which we absolutely cannot overlook."
"Additionally, the mental health of children cannot be ignored either. We should provide necessary psychological counseling and support to help them better adapt to kindergarten life."
"Regularly holding parent meetings and workshops, creating a communication bridge to let parents gain a deeper understanding of our educational philosophies and teaching methods to strengthen mutual trust."
"..."
Principal Li Huizhen listened attentively to each suggestion.
It must be said that each suggestion felt like a precious piece of a puzzle, gradually piecing together a complete retention strategy blueprint.
But, are these enough?
A subtle doubt quietly sprouted in her mind, and her gaze swept across the teachers and leaders gathered, sharply capturing Lin Jiayi’s hesitant expression, then decisively called out: "Teacher Lin, do you have any unique insights or additional content to contribute regarding the topic we are discussing?"
Lin Jiayi hesitated briefly before speaking: "Actually, the insights from my colleagues are quite fair. But from what I recently learned, a few parents in our class plan to transfer their children to Dorami Kindergarten next semester, and the key factor in their decision is the quality of the meals there."
