Grandma visited her granddaughter in Spain and was horrified, in kindergarten, the kids sleep right in their shoes, no one changes their shoes

The education of children in each country is approached with the greatest responsibility. After all, children are the future of any nation, and therefore should invest in them as much as possible good and as little as possible bad. It is not surprising that there are heated discussions around different approaches to education.

And it is always interesting to compare how different approaches to the education of the younger generation in different countries. Today's edition. "Site" We offer to find out what features of raising children in far-away Spain surprise our parents and grandparents. And what is Spain for children in general, you can see by the way kindergartens are arranged here. There's something to be surprised about!



Spain for children

1. We are used to the fact that next to the kindergarten there is necessarily an adjacent area with a playground. And guys in good weather can spend a lot of time on the sand or green lawns, play and walk. But if you look at the usual Spanish kindergarten for young children (up to 3 years), it can be located right in the apartment or in the room intended for an office (or even a store). Accordingly, there is no such kindergarten. And the best thing you can count on is to have your own spot with a couple of slides.
   
   If you look for a kindergarten with a playground, a green area and other joys to which we have long been accustomed, then the announced price will surprise you. And not in every area you can find such a “luxury” institution.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Of course, the smallest children sleep in ordinary beds with sides. As for older children, they buy small mattresses. When it comes time for afternoon rest, the toys are hidden and the mattresses are spread out right on the floor. As a result, children sleep dressed and shoes (without any shift) on these mattresses. And everyone is happy and feel great. Although parents of Soviet hardened look at such a picture with big frightened eyes.





It is also surprising that teachers teach children. land. And a little uncomfortable when you watch Spanish youth sitting on the cold asphalt, on the grass, right on the subway floor. And this habit begins just in kindergarten, and in school it is only fixed. We have always been taught the opposite. We have been told many times that we should never sit on the floor. And to sit on some cold surface like concrete, it does not climb into any framework. But, as you can see, in other countries, there may be a completely different approach. Is that right?





If you look at the list of things that a child should always have with him, then there are interesting things. For example, small Spaniards already in kindergarten are required to carry cologne with them. When combing the child, the teachers water his head with cologne. And parental claims in this case will not be understood, because the child should smell good. How else?



Still, municipal kindergartens (cheaper) in Spain are not so much. Therefore, parents often have to give the child to a private kindergarten, for which you need to pay about 500-1000 euros. Although the conditions here are almost the same as in the state (where you need to pay 100-200 euros per month). The only problem is that the queues in state kindergartens are too large. Therefore, not everyone manages to get there.





Note that Spanish crumbs often do not go to kindergarten at all. And social services will not bother finding out why the child does not attend kindergarten and what he does all day. Spanish parents have a certain freedom of choice.
