Choosing a kindergarten requires a certain approach. Parents need to consider not only its location, but many other important factors.
Choosing a kindergarten
Today, parents have the right to independently choose a preschool institution that their child will attend, subject to the availability of free places in it. The choice of a kindergarten must be approached with a certain degree of responsibility.
First of all, you need to decide on the most convenient location for a preschool institution. It is very convenient when the kindergarten is located near the home or place of work of one of the parents. As a rule, there are several kindergartens in each district of the city. The reviews left by the parents of those children who are already attending institutions of interest will help you to choose one of them.
When choosing a kindergarten, you need to pay attention to the degree of fullness of the groups, the professionalism of the educators, the presence of various hobby groups, the quality of food. The personal qualities and professionalism of the educators sometimes determine the mood with which the child will attend the kindergarten.
Choosing between a free and a paid institution, you first need to adequately assess your financial capabilities. There are usually no queues in private kindergartens. In such institutions, there are quite a few groups. At the same time, you need to understand that every month you will have to pay a considerable amount for visiting it.
To finally decide on the choice, you need to visit several preschool institutions and evaluate with your own eyes the conditions of the kids' stay in the kindergarten, their daily routine. Many parents admit that after an excursion around the kindergarten, they immediately felt at an intuitive level whether to leave their child in this institution or not.
How to apply to kindergarten
In order to enroll a child in the kindergarten, you need to go to the manager and inquire about the availability of free places. If there are free places, the head or specialist of the personnel department will issue a list of documents necessary for the baby to be accepted to the kindergarten.
In this case, you will need a birth certificate, a passport of one of the parents and some other documents. An employee of a preschool institution will invite parents to sign an agreement in the established form and will issue several questionnaires to fill out. The child will definitely need to undergo a medical examination.
In some kindergartens, when submitting documents, they ask to bring a printout from the city-wide preschool education website, where the individual number of the baby is indicated, which was given to him when he entered the queue for the kindergarten.
