Among the many parenting problems of our time, the problem of kindergartens is, without exaggeration, one of the main ones. Thousands of moms and dads are worried about getting to kindergarten on time. The situation here is really difficult, because the number of kindergartens has greatly decreased over the past ten years, and the birth rate has increased significantly. A few tips will help you not to stay out of the preschool.
First advice. Do not postpone your visit to kindergarten! Many gardens have a queue of people wishing to get there for two or even more years. Therefore, visit your chosen kindergarten as soon as you receive your baby's birth certificate. Remember, they are officially enrolled in the kindergarten from June 1, but you can register on this day so that you can start walking from September 1 only by accident. Each garden manager has a special notebook in which he writes down all the candidates, try to be on this list for the year you need. Example. You came to record in October 2010. Your baby is now 1 month old. You were enrolled as number "8" for September 2012. This means that when the child is 2 years old, he will go to kindergarten from September 1. By the way, most preschool institutions accept children from 2 years old. In the given example, the parents need to remind the head of themselves from time to time and not forget to come on June 1 to register their child in kindergarten.
Second advice. Do not be lazy and sign up for several gardens at once. Make a list of the preschools you want and enroll in. This will significantly increase the chances of being on the coveted list. Remember that lists are constantly changing. The kindergarten workers themselves call potential candidates from time to time. Someone leaves, someone gets a job in another place, so that the line is constantly moving, the main thing is that they do not forget about you. Make it a rule to visit managers once a month and remind you of yourself.
Third advice. During your first visit to kindergarten, try to convince the supervisor of your usefulness. This is not a bribe. It's just that working with parents is the most important part of the life of a preschool institution. Each manager wants his kindergarten to be the best, and parents can help with this. Your professional skills, hobbies (especially needlework, photography, etc.) may well be in demand. You can help arrange and carry out repairs, assist in purchasing equipment - whatever. In principle, each person can be of some use to the kindergarten, the main thing is to be able to explain this to the administration.
Remember, if you want to place your child in kindergarten, you must show your willingness to participate in the life of the entire institution. To make it easier for yourself, look around, pay attention to the interior of the kindergarten, the plan of educational work, the list of circles. This will help navigate the conversation with the administration.
Fourth advice. Pay attention to your appearance and demeanor. Everyone will agree that dealing with a decent, cultured, intelligent person is much more pleasant than with anyone else. What follows from this? You should look neat, strict, tasteful. A minimum of decorations. This moment especially applies to young parents under 25 years old. They are often perceived by children themselves, so it is very important for them to create a favorable first impression. In general, the situation is such that you are in the role of supplicants, and you need to behave accordingly.
