STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): JANAT, Teacher at the No.3 kindergarten of Shawan City
"Morning, my dear.
My name is Janat and I'm 30 years old. I'm a teacher at the No.3 kindergarten in Shawan City.

Morning, my teacher mom.
Morning, my dear.

This is Wang Shiqi. She is younger than the other kids in the class. She is a bit clingy to me as she feels that I treat her just like her mother. That's why she calls me "teacher mom."

We have kids from different ethnic groups, including Kazakh, Hui, Uygur and Han ethnic groups. They enjoy being together and having fun.

In our class, we have a reading corner, a game zone, a brain-building activity zone, a performance area, and an art zone. They are designed for the kids to develop various abilities.

The subsidy from our country covers children's daily meals in our kindergarten. We charge no extra fees.

The kids enjoy the food here, and the environment is also good.

When they play together, they develop friendships with each other.

Be careful. Hold tight.

Goodbye, teacher mom.

Goodbye, dear.

As I watch the kids here growing up day by day, I get so much energy in me."
