How to choose a good kindergarten?

First, decide which onepreschool You want to give your child. There are "ordinary" and general developing kindergartens, child development centers, specialized kindergartens. In ordinary kindergartens, you will not find swimming pools, saunas, massage rooms and the like. Such services are provided by child development centers. Specialized children's institutions are designed for children with developmental disorders, hearing or visual impairment. In such institutions, there are few children in the group, they are attended by qualified medical personnel.

Also kindergartens are divided into state (municipal), departmental and private.

AT state kindergarten children are accepted at the place of residence. Pay for a little garden you need a little, he probably is close to your house. What are the conditions in the state kindergarten? If you remember your childhood and your kindergarten, then you can imagine what a state kindergarten looks like. The number of children in groups is usually 25-30 people. Financing of such institutions is small, so you do not have to count on a huge number of toys, a menu of delicacies.

Departmental called kindergartens, which are indepartment of an enterprise. Usually, the children of the employees of the enterprise go to such gardens, for which the fee for a kindergarten is much lower, in comparison with the rest. Private Preschool institutions are organized by privatepersons or enterprises. The fee for the services of a private kindergarten is usually high, but additional subjects or additional services are added to general education programs.

Regardless of whether the kindergarten ispublic or private, should pay attention to the license of this institution. Sadik must have permission from the Ministry of Education, permission from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. Teachers in the children's institution should also have accreditation from the Ministry of Education, a health book with the necessary marks (by the way, this applies to all the staff of the kindergarten).

So, what should I look for when choosing a kindergarten?

1. Location. Sadik, to which one has to travel morehalf an hour by transport, most likely not the best option. A tiring journey in public transport in the early morning or a long standing in traffic jams, if you are on a private car, is unlikely to please your child.



2. Staff. The choice of a kindergarten often comes down toselection of suitable personnel. After all, your child remains with these people for the whole day. Therefore, it is important to take a closer look at how educators communicate with children and with each other. Do they allow themselves rudeness, how much they are attentive to children? How do they respond to complaints and requests from children? You can find out about the personnel of this or that kindergarten by asking the opinion of other mothers who have already given their children to this kindergarten. In addition, it should be borne in mind how many caregivers and their assistants fall into one group. In kindergartens, where the number of children in one group exceeds 20 or even 30, a person must have at least two educators (in the first half of the day - one, in the second - the second) and at least one assistant nurse.



3. Territory. The territory of a childcare institution must be compulsoryhave fencing and close. After all, children are very curious and can run outside the garden. To ensure that the territory of the kindergarten did not enter strangers, it is necessary to have a guard. In the kindergarten, in no case should there be pits or bumps, garbage. It is necessary to have a playground with a sandbox, swings, stairs.



4. Interior decoration. In each kindergarten a hall for classes is requiredphysical culture and music (you can both two separate rooms, and combined). It is mandatory to have a medical office with a nurse on duty or a doctor. It is also desirable to have a speech therapist's office with one or more qualified specialists. The premises of the groups must be clean, spacious. It is important that the rooms for sleeping and for classes are separate. Look at the furniture in the group. Is it convenient for children? Is there any danger that furniture can break at any moment? According to the growth, chairs and tables are selected. Pay attention to the toys in the games room. Are these toys of high quality? Do they play other children, or they stand for diverting their eyes. Do these toys develop skills in children: logic, motor skills, memory?



5. The program of classes. The standard curriculum usually includesacquaintance with the surrounding world, various mobile, story-role and didactic games, development of speech. In addition, the program also includes classes in mathematics, drawing, modeling, applique, design, music, physical education. Additional subjects, such as studying a foreign language or early learning to read and write, are taught in each kindergarten in different ways and their choice is individual.
   

   When you choose a garden, tryattend several classes and observe how they pass. Do the children understand the caregiver? Are his tasks fulfilled? Does the teacher shout at children? Does it explain in addition, if someone does not understand?




6. Food. Full and varied food - a deposithealth of your child. It is important that the child does not go hungry in kindergarten, but it is also impossible to be constantly fed by force. Find out if there is a possibility in the kindergarten for an individual food for your baby, if it is susceptible to allergies. Observe how children eat. Do they eat with appetite? How do caregivers treat those children who are capricious or pampered. If possible, you should visit the kitchen, where food is prepared for children. Are kitchen standards maintained? Are the food stored correctly? Do the cook observe the sanitary rules when preparing food?

Choosing a good kindergarten for your baby -a really difficult task. But do not forget that going to kindergarten will be just a child, not you. Try to take into account his desires and preferences in choosing and do not go wrong, because children more subtly feel the attitude of others around them and will happily walk to that garden where they will be surrounded by warmth and care.
