So, your child has already turned two or three years old and the question arose sharply about your access. You have already decided that your child needs a kindergarten, not a nanny, but you don’t want to give your child to an ordinary, municipal kindergarten or just didn’t get a ticket.
How to choose a private kindergarten correctly, what to pay attention to?
The best way to learn about kindergarten is to talk with friends who drive their child there too or read reviews in parental forums. Sometimes you can find out the details that the administration of this institution can hide from you.
Be sure to get acquainted with the staff of the kindergarten, find out if there are services of a psychologist, speech therapist in the garden, does the pediatrician visit children.
Ask what the training program of this kindergarten, what methods are the educators own, what tasks set for themselves. It is bad if the kindergarten is carried out only by supervision, but they pay little attention to the activities of the children. Such a kindergarten can get married for an hour – two, but is not at all suitable for the full stay of the child.
Find out how things are with the nutrition of the child. Who and where cooks food for children? What is included in the menu and other questions. If food is brought with you from home – this is not too comfortable and quite expensive.
Pay attention to the toys, the presence of didactic material and the interior design of the kindergarten. Agree that your child’s mood and his desire to visit kindergarten depend on this.
If you still doubt whether your child will be able to be in kindergarten without you, then you should consult with a psychologist.
Positive moments of visiting kindergarten:
1. the child becomes independent, learns to communicate with peers
2. The child gets used to the mode of the day, the schedule of classes
3. the baby is systematically engaged with specialists, which is very important for its development
4. If your baby still has problems with self -service, this is easier to solve in kindergarten, since the child watches other children and begins to try to dress and undress on his own, eat, visit the toilet on time.
What should be a good kindergarten?
1. the presence of good developing toys, a beautiful interior, a spacious room for relaxation, games and eating
2. competent and friendly staff
3. well -organized nutrition of children
4. Walks and good playground nearby
5. the presence of an individual approach to frequent children or children in need of special nutrition
6. competently and clearly drawn up agreement
7. acceptable for parents the price of visiting kindergarten, a flexible approach to payment
8. The number of children in the group should not be over -free – it is better if children are not more than 10-15, otherwise the children will be very tired of the noise
Psychologists recommend: the baby is easier to adapt to the conditions of a kindergarten at the age of two to three years. At this age, he is already ready to tear himself away from his mother and go into an “independent life”.
