In the Soviet years, all kindergartens worked according to a single program, but over the past couple of decades, most gardens began to choose a variety of training programs and raising babies for themselves.
That is why today parents are in no hurry to give their offspring to the first kind of kindergarten, but are looking for the one in which the child will like. The issues and how to teach a child to train kindergartens resolve in different ways: in some institutions, the program is focused on aesthetic development, others make a slope towards physical education, others are actively preparing children for admission to school. An ideal solution for any baby and his parents will be private preschool institutions. A good private kindergarten is always an order of magnitude better than a state.
I must say that those parents who give to the garden of their first child are sometimes difficult to understand the intricacies of the programs adopted in a particular kindergarten. You can help understand the features of a particular institution, communicating with parents or employees of the kindergarten, or consulting on forums on the Internet.
Now let’s touch on the issues of choosing a children’s preschool institution a little more. In gardens with a priority (art, cultural, ethnic, physical, etc.) a lot of attention is paid to the development of babies. Educators in accordance with the chosen program develop certain abilities in children. For example, children who graduated from a kindergarten with an artistic and aesthetic bias can already be well versed in painting and go to an art school.
Many gardens are called today «Gardens of a combined species». This name means that groups of different directions, including compensating. Journal for parents and specialists in preschool education are advised to give to such gardens of children who have small problems requiring correction (for example, speech therapy or orthopedic).
Separately mention the gardens of compensating. Children with congenital or acquired pathologies are sent here. There are always medical personnel in such institutions who are assisting babies with hearing or vision problems, orthopedic diseases. There are also special gardens for children with a delay in speech or mental development. Most of these gardens have special consultants who are ready to help parents of babies with health problems.
