When a mother needs to go to work, and there are not enough places in public kindergartens, a private kindergarten comes to the rescue. However, before entrusting the baby to someone, you should make sure of the correctness of your choice, and reviews are far from the main indicator.
Everything in order. Take 10 minutes and read the SanPiN 2.4.1.3147-13 (requirements for preschool groups organized in residential premises), which entered into force on 2014-14-02 program and daily routine (which is often violated in many private gardens).
Choose a time and walk 2-3 times nearby while walking with children - 10: 30-11 in the morning. When choosing a kindergarten, first of all choose a teacher.
How closely the caregivers look after the kids, is the walking area limited? Do children have to cross the road; if so, how do educators organize this process? Do the educators play with the group, talk about the world around them, or are all the toddlers left to themselves? What is the general mood of the children in the group: everyone is moaning and calling for their mother, or are they cheerful, cheerful and busy … How does the teacher behave in conflicts between children? What if someone cried? Does the teacher shout at children? Will the teacher pay attention if you go up to the child and say hello to him, or the teacher will not even notice the communication with an outside adult? Etc.
You should have at least a rough idea of what will actually happen to your child during the day.
All liked it? Let's move on!
Make an appointment with the manager / director, discuss the following topics:
- Children's daily routine, physical education (exercise therapy does not replace morning exercises), music lessons, speech therapist, psychologist, nurse (what is her schedule) …
- The common European standard is 1 adult for 5-6 children. There should always be a nanny / caregiver in the group, otherwise the teacher himself will do the cleaning, prepare food, etc., leaving the children unattended. Have employees passed a medical examination?
- The premises of the kindergarten (cleanliness and order, without foreign odors …) in accordance with the basic provisions of SanPiN 2.4.1.3147-13 and common sense.
- Educational program. The kindergarten must have a license for educational activities, the daytime group of children is not. Particular attention should be paid to this item if in the future you plan to take entrance exams in grade 1 (there are also such primary schools); After kindergarten, everyone passes the commission on psychological readiness for school.
Don't be afraid to ask questions! It is you who are going to entrust this organization with taking care of the life and health of your baby while you are not around. And let the management think whatever it wants, these are their problems! If the organization is worthy, there will be no conflict situations. Be friendly and open to communication.
Tune in for the best. And you will find a kindergarten where your child will feel good, and you will not worry all day about his safety.
