X.L.X Xiaomiao Kindergarten (referred to as "X.L.X Xiaomiao" for short) is located on Luoxiu Road, Meilong Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, adjacent to Xuhui District. It is situated in a community of highly educated residents where the four famous residential complexes in Meilong are located. Founded in 2005, it officially obtained the IB-PYP certification from the International Baccalaureate Organization in August 2020, making it the only public-benefit IB-certified kindergarten in Shanghai. Currently, it offers classes for four age groups: nursery, junior kindergarten, middle kindergarten, and senior kindergarten, with a strong atmosphere for reading.
The kindergarten is affiliated to Yuxin Education Group—the only education group in Shanghai whose affiliated kindergartens and schools all hold IB certification. The group accounts for nearly half of the IB education institutions in Shanghai and has cooperative schools in the United States, Canada, and Singapore. It provides X.L.X Xiaomiao with resources such as an intercultural learning community composed of teachers and students from more than 20 countries and regions, as well as consistent IB teaching and research support. Additionally, the kindergarten itself has diverse facilities including certified Chinese and foreign IB teachers, IB-standard classrooms, and Miaomiao Book Bar, along with the support of the academic community atmosphere.
X.L.X Xiaomiao has built an integrated curriculum system of "IB-PYP + Shanghai Second-phase Curriculum Reform". Based on the IB-PYP integrated curriculum, it conducts inquiry-based teaching around six transdisciplinary themes such as "Who We Are" and "Sharing the Planet". It takes "diversified picture book reading" as its characteristic course, guiding children to conduct in-depth thinking in combination with IB inquiry themes through parent-child reading, book exchange activities, forest theater performances, and book festivals. For example, in the theme of "How We Organize Ourselves - Products", the picture book Ali's Red Cloak is used to arouse children's interest in exploring the production process of products. At the same time, it offers extended courses such as creative art, music, and science experiments, as well as development courses like Go and featured English, to comprehensively cultivate children's comprehensive literacy.
The kindergarten has a park-like layout, surrounded by lush trees. It is equipped with standard activity rooms, dedicated functional rooms, and outdoor sports areas, and also has rockery and flowing water landscapes, which meet children's exploration needs. Comprehensive safety guarantees are in place, including electronic fences, anti-fall, anti-collision, and anti-pinch facilities. In terms of meals, the kitchen is fully equipped with facilities, implements the "transparent kitchen" system, and provides nutritionally balanced menus.
Graduates of the kindergarten have diverse development paths. They can apply to enter Liaoyuan Bilingual School, a fully IB-certified school within the group, to continue their IB education. Since the curriculum balances local and international elements, children also have advantages when entering public primary schools or other private international schools, which has been widely recognized by parents.
Xiaomiao Kindergarten obtained IB-PYP candidate kindergarten qualification in 2019.
