It's really good to see so many parents here, and I hope this talk will help you to find out more about what we do here and how the center works, so you can decide if this sounds the right sort of place for your child. 00:01:11,720 Okay, so first of all, what is the Preschool Family Center? Well, basically, it's a childhood education center for children from three months up to five years old. But we're different from a lot of other organizations for preschool children. We believe that the first educators of a child are their parents. And so the Preschool Family Center is organized as a cooperative by the parents, which means it is the parents themselves who are responsible for running the center and also for running each session. So this means that we ask parents to attend the center with their children on a regular basis. 00:01:55,340 In order to make this work, we offer training for parents, teaching them the skills they need to work with children and run the sessions. The children do all sorts of different activities: art, music, singing, and games. And these are all done in groups of mixed ages because we believe that by learning to play together, children learn how to make choices and how to respect people and things. 00:02:28,160 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions fifteen to twenty on page three. 00:02:40,060 Now listen and answer questions fifteen to twenty. 00:03:13,640 Now, some factual information. Sessions run each morning from nine thirty to twelve thirty, and we have an extra session on Thursday afternoons, which is solely for older children, where we do some activities to help prepare them for reading before they start school. 00:03:31,940 We feel this is really important and can make a big difference when they get to school. 00:03:37,640 And now, before you enroll your child in the center, you need to make at least five visits with your child. This is so you are fully aware of how the center works before you enroll. Uh, the centers are recognized as official preschools, and so each center is entitled to funding from the government. The center is a really wonderful experience but does require some work. So I'd just like to talk about some of the commitments you will need to make if you decide to go ahead and enroll your child. 00:04:13,520 A couple of points first. Once you and your child have settled into the center and are familiar with how things work, you will be asked to choose a particular job, like secretary or gardener or librarian or something to be responsible for. 00:04:31,650 And we have a meeting which we use to plan the program, and each parent is expected to attend this. Now, just before we move on to answer any questions you have, I'd just quickly like to mention some of the ways you and your child are able to get the most out of the center. 00:04:52,760 It's important that you attend regularly. This way, you'll get to know other parents well, and your child will develop confidence while he or she is here. 00:05:04,720 Younger children might need to leave early. It's better to leave early than to go home with an overtired child. 00:05:12,540 We do provide drinks for the children, but we ask you to make sure your child has a snack to eat during the morning. No crisps or chocolate, please. 00:05:23,720 Right. I think I'll stop there and ask if anyone's got any questions. Uh- 00:05:32,240 That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 11.
