Father spends over 20 billion VND to build private kindergarten for 3-year-old son

Chinese media reported that the father, surnamed Li, from Jiangsu Province, completed the construction of the kindergarten in seven months, just in time for his son to start school. "I wanted to create the best environment for my son," Mr. Li said.

Mr. Li's kindergarten charges 3,980 yuan (nearly 13.5 million) per semester and only a few parents enroll, according to the South China Morning Post .

Of the total cost of 6 million yuan, Mr. Li spent 450,000 yuan on design, while the cost of construction, interior decoration and exterior landscaping amounted to more than 5 million yuan.

The school features movable partitions (also known as "detachable walls"), rooms with huge windows, special rooms for dance classes, colorful restrooms, a library, and an orchard.

With the desire to nurture a passion for art in preschoolers, Mr. Li said he placed drawing boards right in the classroom. "I also built a movie theater so I can watch cartoons with my son," Mr. Li said.

Not to mention, a stainless steel slide has been used to replace the "boring" stairs in the school. "Teachers and kindergarten children can slide down from the second floor. How fun it will be," said Mr. Li.

The school also has an underfloor heating system. "It's very cold here in winter. What would I do if my son caught a cold?" Mr. Li said.

The story of a father building a kindergarten for his son has attracted mixed opinions on social media in China.

Some people praised Mr Li as a great father. "Why don't I have a father like that?" one Weibo user commented.

Others called the project a frivolous, wasteful project and an example of indulgent, incompetent parenting. One commented: "So, in three years, he's going to build a primary school for his son?"
