Children and young people are the hope of the motherland and the future of the nation. It is the common wish of the whole Party and society to have children to let every child grow up healthily with the pace of the times.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the growth and development of young people and provided all-round guidance on the work of young people and children.
Over the past decade, the beautiful vision of having children is coming into reality. Various reforms are being steadily promoted and supporting measures are constantly being improved. More and more children are smiling brightly in the sun.

At around 5 pm, Sun Ping, who lives in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, finished her work and came to Yinghuaxiang Kindergarten to pick up the 3-year-old Erbao Tiantian home.
In the kindergarten, Tiantian and the children carried out outdoor exploration activities under the guidance of the teacher, knowing plants, observing insects, and setting up tents... This scene made Sun Ping feel very at ease.
The area where Sun Ping’s home is located is densely populated, and the resources of universal kindergartens are short of, so the problem of children entering kindergartens has always been a headache. She said that when she recalled that when Dabao was fighting for the entrance quota for the kindergarten six or seven years ago, there was a long queue at the entrance of the only public kindergarten nearby, and registration one year in advance might not be possible.
In 2021, the local government repurchased the site from developers and invested financial funds to build the public Yinghuaxiang Kindergarten with high standards. Here, there are all tidy and bright classrooms, warm and comfortable lunch breaks, and fully equipped play areas. The monthly childcare fee is only 500 or 600 yuan. Sun Ping sighed that the kindergarten is now downstairs of her own house. Not only is it convenient to pick up and drop off, but it is also not expensive. The child is accompanied and grown up in the carefully designed lively games. She and her family are very satisfied.
Director of Yinghua Lane Kindergarten Liu Jianping said that the kindergarten provides 270 degrees to vigorously solve the problem of "difficulty in entry and expensive entry" for children of appropriate age in the surrounding areas. The arrival of key teachers of municipal demonstration kindergartens has improved the quality of childcare in newly established kindergartens.
The story of Yinghuaxiang Kindergarten is a microcosm of the rapid development of preschool education in recent years. Looking across the country, more and more parents have experienced the leap from "difficulty in entering the kindergarten" to "going to a good kindergarten" like Sun Ping.

Along with happiness, there is also a leap in physical fitness.

After more than a year of training, I jumped rope nearly 200 times in one breath, and the energy in my little body was stimulated, and participating in various sports activities can bring more fun than sweat.
After-school service hours, the playground was crowded with people, and the teaching building was also very lively.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the overall health level of children in my country has improved significantly, and indicators such as growth retardation and low weight rate of children under 6 years old have gradually improved. "H Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents " and "Highlights for Obesity Prevention and Control of Obesity in Children and Adolescents" have been successively issued to prevent children from making "little glasses" and "little fat guys". In 2020, the coverage rate of eye care and vision examinations for children aged 0-6 was 91.8%.

[Story]
As soon as the familiar music started, the 8-year-old orphan child Han Han immediately put down the toys in his hand, counted the beats intently, and followed the rhythm while singing and dancing.
Because of brain damage , the original Hanhan was taciturn and unwilling to communicate, and his emotions fluctuated greatly, and he was prone to conflicts with his friends. In class, Hanhan was just alone and kept tapping objects with his fingers. The language class teacher once thought she couldn't speak.
After entering the Education Center of the First Social Welfare Institute in Changsha City, Hunan Province, Hanhan received special education in preschool middle classes and preschool senior classes, and conducted training in self-care for life and meticulous activities.
"Every time I find Hanhan is restless, I will hold her, touch her head, and reason with her in a gentle tone. After a period of time, she began to be willing to express herself. In class, the teacher asked questions, and Hanhan would also raise his hand to speak." Zhang Meilin, the head teacher of the preschool class, said.
Gradually, the teachers discovered Han Han's passion for dance and music, and then cultivated her as a key seedling of dance and instrumental music.At the art performance held by the Welfare Institute not long ago, Hanhan performed dance and other programs, and cheered her at the young age.
Now, Hanhan's personality has become optimistic and sunny. He will take the initiative to say hello when he sees people and is more willing to help others. "I am the eldest sister now. I want to help my aunt take care of my younger brothers and sisters, wash their faces and feed them." Hanhan said proudly.
Hanhan, who has lived in a welfare home for 4 years, has found a home here to care for, help and recognize her. This home gives Hanhan and hundreds of orphans and disabled children like her, one by one, a childhood of intoxication of love.
