Volunteers are concentrated and brought upstairs, and one cannot be missing
At 8:00 a.m., before the sun showed its "domineering power", the reporter came to the lobby on the first floor of the Oriental Financial Plaza, and one of the "colleagues" - Zhao Yinglin, who is also a volunteer and from Shanghai Normal University, handed the reporter an orange vest overalls. In addition to the reporters, there were four high school students, two college student volunteers and two teaching assistants to take care of the children's daily life.
Next to the side door, a sign-in table has been prepared in place, which records the names of all children, parents' contact information, pick-up and drop-off notes, daily sign-in and check-out, etc., each parent must sign their own name before leaving.
This year's Lujiazui Financial City Employee Parent-Child Studio was opened at the same time in the Oriental Financial Plaza, the BRICS Building, the Lujiazui Riverside Center, and the Qiantan Enterprise World, with a total of 10 classes in two phases, and more than 300 "little cute babies" were enrolled.

After 8:30, it is the peak time for the children to arrive, and because the elevator is shared with other white-collar workers in the building, in order to ensure the safety of the children, volunteers must be led into the classroom in batches.
Jin Leyi, a quasi-fourth-grade elementary school student at Zhuyuan Primary School, was led by his mother Li Cen and walked into the lobby in a blue parent-child studio uniform. The reporter used a forehead thermometer to measure her temperature, and after the parents signed it, they took her little hand and took her upstairs into the classroom.
Li Cen works at the nearby Weifang World Trade Building, and he has only been there for ten minutes. "I send her to work every day, I don't delay going to work at 9 o'clock, and I get off work at 5:30 or 6 in the afternoon, and I can just pick up the child, and the time is completely matched." Li Cen told reporters that last year, he originally signed up for his child with the idea of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good. "On the first day of class this year, the teachers asked me to write a whisper, and she wrote 'I hope the teachers can open every year', and now I can get up in the morning positively."
Just after 9:00, in addition to those who asked for leave in advance, there were some children who had not been delivered, and the reporter began to call parents to confirm the situation - two arrived at 10 o'clock and one arrived at 11 o'clock. After reconfirming the list, the reporter and other volunteers went to the classroom, where the children were reading in the morning.
11：00
Maintain order, arrange games, and distribute lunches
During the morning reading day and the following lessons, reporters and a few volunteers were responsible for maintaining order in the classroom, keeping an eye out for dangerous movements and answering children's questions.
"Teacher, I'm cold, help me get dressed." "Teacher, I can't unscrew the water bottle" "Teacher, I need to go to the toilet." ”…… Since the classroom is in a commercial building next to the company's office, the volunteers need to take the children to the toilet one-on-one and then bring them back to the classroom.
At 10:50, during the recess, the teachers and teaching assistants prepared a number of games for the children to participate in, and the volunteers were automatically divided into several groups to confirm whether the children had dangerous movements and stop possible pushing and shoving in time.

As soon as 11:00 arrived, the hot meal arrived on time. The reporters handed out lunch to the children in turn. Lunch on the same day included braised lion's head, diced corn and chicken, edamame winter melon, scallion oil pumpkin, and small hanging pear soup...... Don't look at the small size of the children, the amount of food is not small.
"After a while, there will be osmanthus hair cake and fruit milk for afternoon tea, and the dishes are still very rich." Luo Qing, director of the External Relations Department of the Federation of Trade Unions of Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, said, "Our lunch is from Zhending's central kitchen, which is on the 'white list' of Pudong meals and is exclusively for summer nurseries, so there is no problem with food safety." Luo Qing told reporters that the menus of the past three weeks (the first phase) have been reviewed in advance, and if children have special conditions such as allergies, special meals will be served.

Special courses arouse children's enthusiasm for learning
After the lunch break, two new teachers came to the classroom, they are tea art teachers from Shanghai Hefeng Drizzle Catering Management Co., Ltd., who are about to bring a "tea culture" experience to the children.
I saw that Mr. Zhu took out dozens of bags of different types of tea and let the children smell the difference. As soon as they heard that there was something new to see, the children couldn't sit still for a moment, scrambling to squeeze on the podium to smell and see, and from time to time there would be rubbing. The reporter hurriedly stepped forward to pull away a few little boys who were about to fight, and finally arranged for each group to go on stage in turn and line up to observe.

"We pay special attention to the exploration of the regional integration curriculum of traditional Chinese culture. Introduce 'tea culture' into the classroom, so that students can understand the historical origin and cultural connotation of Chinese tea, taste the freshness and sweetness of tea, and appreciate the profound heritage of Chinese tea culture. The reporter learned that in the setting of this year's curriculum, from the basic summer care for students, to a series of courses such as safety self-care training, STEM science and technology handicrafts, ancient poetry conferences, national treasures can speak, physical training, etc., and at the same time increase outdoor development such as social practice, so as to meet the diversified and multi-level needs of children's growth and development in an all-round way.
In addition, social resources such as Shanghai East Hospital, Arrail Dental, Mixed Knowledge, Fund Trade Union, Yicang Art Museum, Pudong Art Museum, and Guanfu Museum were also mobilized to set up public welfare classes and enrich the course content.
As parents came to pick up their children at 5:00 p.m., the reporter's one-day volunteer work experience was coming to an end. Managing children is not an easy task, although the task is not difficult, but there are many trivial matters, although the day of companionship is very tired, but there are also moments of being moved and healed by the children.
This week, the first phase of the Lujiazui Financial City Staff Parent-Child Studio will end, and the next second phase will bring more rich and interesting public welfare courses to spend an unforgettable and meaningful holiday with the "second generation of Lujiazui".
