Ms. Cheng Xueqin, creator of the Anji Play Approach, transformed early education in Anji County, China, building 130 public kindergartens for 14,000 children. Her philosophy, rooted in love, risk, reflection, and free from Western theory, has been recognised by M.I.T., the Lego Foundation, and the World Economic Forum as a powerful 21st-century model. Jesse Coffino, the interpreter for Ms Cheng, works closely with her to share Anji Play globally, training educators worldwide and hosting hundreds in Anji.
