Features: "Children's Perception Training" is one of the achievements of the research project "Construction and Implementation of Perception Curriculum for 2-3-Year-Old Children." This project was sponsored by the Jianggan District Education Bureau of Hangzhou City, and its outcomes were awarded the First Prize in the 2002 Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City Outstanding Educational Research Achievements. It is constructed based on Montessori's "sensory" methodology, Reggio Emilia's "project approach to teaching," and humanistic thought centered on the child. The project emphasizes creating an environment for young children that returns to nature, cherishes their innate qualities, is relaxed, autonomous, and warm; it highlights the role of real-life experiences in children's autonomous learning; and it focuses on providing diverse sensory stimulation materials, allowing children to actively explore and autonomously construct knowledge using their various sensory organs in perceptual operations. The "perception curriculum" fully utilizes children's ears, noses, eyes, mouths, hands, feet, and other senses, enabling them to explore and develop themselves through touching, crawling, running, jumping, and other activities to understand the world. It is characterized by being all-encompassing, open-ended, dynamic, life-oriented, family-based, and spontaneous in education. The content selected for this book is based on the cognitive structure and physical and mental development level of children in this age group, closely linked to real-life situations, and highly engaging. It serves as a teaching material for kindergarten teachers and parents to implement perception training.
