To choose a good garden, you will have to spend time and effort, but it is worth it. You need to choose based not only on your convenience, but also taking into account the reaction of the child. We will come back to this, but in the meantime, let’s analyze the general tips for choosing a kindergarten for a child.

How to choose a kindergarten
  1. Choosing a kindergarten is your business.
    Go to kindergarten with a child. If he did not like something at once, then it is worth making a conclusion. Children are very sensitive and well feel the situation and the general mood of a team. But this does not work in the case when the child has an acute reluctance to go to kindergarten at all. Then he will tell you about any kindergarten that it is something bad. One of my friends did so, took her daughter with her to look for a kindergarten. Mom looked after me. kindergarten Not far from the house, which, according to reviews, was in good standing in the area. There, they say, and the food is decent, and the teachers are well trained, and there are mugs. But when they came to the kindergarten, they were immediately met not very hospitable, and then the head began to tell that this is a prestigious garden, it is so easy not to get here.

    Their family is not the poorest, they were ready to pay, but the girl decided everything herself. With a very serious look, right in front of the head, she said: “Mom, I’m not going to this kindergarten!” Let's find another one. Mind you, she didn't say she wouldn't go to kindergarten at all, she just didn't want to go to this one. As a result, the girl chose a normal kindergarten. Neither the parents nor the child regretted the choice.

    This is a huge plus, because the child feels that he can choose, that his opinion is taken into account. In addition, participating in the choice of a kindergarten, the child, most likely, will not then arrange tantrums that does not want to go there. This is an opportunity to make the whole process a little easier.

  2. Choose not a kindergarten, but a teacher
    A teacher is someone who will spend a lot of time with your child. Find out who this person is, what education he has, what reviews other parents give. It is important that the teacher looks at the process of education in the same way as you. Choose the criteria for yourself, which is more important to you. Someone important that the teacher was strict and disciplined the child, and someone needs a creative approach to education. When you meet a teacher, try not to cause him tension with your questions. After all, the contact of parents and educators is the key to a successful visit to the kindergarten by a child.

  3. Find out how many children are in groups.
    This is one of the most important criteria. Even if the garden was the best, with new renovations and beautiful toys, it would be meaningless if the groups were crowded. In large groups, the atmosphere is more heated, and the teacher simply does not have enough time to follow all the children and pay attention to everyone. Large groups are rarely cohesive because children are too different. It does not work out cozy communication, and children get sick more often. In addition, many children are not comfortable with a large number of other children, they very soon get tired of kindergarten. And every parent knows what a child is who does not want to go to the garden.

  4. Find out all about nutrition in kindergarten
    Delicious food is also not a guarantee of happiness. There are many kindergartens that cook really well and feed children healthy food. This is much better than delicious, but not healthy food. Find out how thoughtful this question is at the institution where you're going to give the baby. Another question is whether children are forced to eat. There are many stories about how educators punished children who refused to finish everything: food poured over the spine, public punishment. You need to understand that the child also does not like some products, and if you force them into it, you can injure the child. Make sure that's not allowed in kindergarten.

  5. Find out how children are punished for misconduct
    Punishment is one of the elements of education that cannot be done without. But it must also be adequate and fair. This question should be discussed in advance. Punishments should not be humiliating, like hitting the head for not being able to sleep. I came across one terrible story when a child was put without panties on the windowsill for not being able to sleep during the day, so that he was ashamed of it in front of passing people. It's really wild. How can such a child grow up without complexes?

    Therefore, it is important to specify this issue in advance and find out all the nuances. Punishment is just a small point by which you can assess the attitude of staff to children in general.

    Choose a garden based on how you want your child to develop. If you want your child to develop physically, look for kindergartens with sports activities. If creativity is important to you, then find gardens where they will take care of it. Choose based on your personal preferences.
