Home-type mini kindergartens are an excellent alternative to queues at a municipal preschool. For many parents, they have become a real salvation of their careers. Such kindergartens are gaining more and more popularity.
Instructions
Step 1
Unfortunately, in order to open such a children's website legally, it is necessary to fulfill a number of conditions, rent a large room, equip it in accordance with sanitary norms and rules, obtain permission from the SES, fire department, approve the educational program and certify each employee. This requires a considerable amount of funds, which can only be recouped if the cost of a child's stay in such a kindergarten is at least $ 700-800 per month. Not every parent will agree to this amount, and the kindergarten will again incur losses.
Step 2
Many parents choose to leave their children with a nanny. However, it is very expensive to hire a nanny for one child; it is another matter when a nanny works with a group of children. So it turns out a mini kindergarten, which is quite possible to organize within an ordinary city apartment. If you have a country cottage with a fenced-in walking area, this is even better.
Step 3
Your kindergarten should have several equipped rooms. If you take it to a minimum, then this is a kitchen, a bathroom (or preferably two) with a shower, a small laundry room where bed linen and towels will be washed, and a spacious room that will serve as a playroom, a bedroom, and a dining room.
Step 4
If your kindergarten has a full-day group, then you should carefully plan your toddler's daily routine that includes proper nutrition and sleep. For sleep, purchase folding or pull-out beds, which after an hour's sleep can be hidden or removed altogether. Change baby bedding at least once a week. And folding tables and chairs are useful both for meals and for classes.
Step 5
Remember that children should have more meals than adults. This is breakfast, perhaps a small snack before lunch, lunch with the obligatory soup, afternoon tea, after an hour's sleep and dinner. Buy products for kindergarten only in trusted places, do not hesitate to ask the sellers for certificates of compliance with sanitary standards. You will most likely need to hire a food preparation helper as you will have to supervise the children at all times. Demand that the employee has a health record and work experience in a child care facility.
Step 6
You should not only look after the children during the day, but also fully develop and educate them. Buy notebooks and pens, counting sticks, modeling clay, paints and scrapbooks. Also, do not forget about physical education, which children usually enjoy doing. Balls, hoops and skipping ropes will help you with this.
Step 7
Walking should be part of your daily routine. Examine the area around the house carefully. It should be safe for children. Make sure that there is no carriageway nearby. The playground should have equipment for outdoor activities and sports. Then the children will not get bored and will not go looking for other entertainment.
Step 8
You can put on small plays and open lessons for parents. In the end, it is they and the child who should be satisfied with everything. Discuss the conditions of admission to kindergarten with the parents in advance. Ask for a medical certificate confirming the health of the child and the vaccinations delivered. Agree on curriculum and menu. Specify the amount and terms of payment.
