Children do not remain small for long, they grow quickly, so soon enough after their birth it becomes necessary to queue for kindergarten.

Nevsky district of St. Petersburg is one of the most developing, so the situation with preschool institutions in this part of St. Petersburg will be considered in more detail.

Kindergarten queue

At the moment, in order to get on the queue for kindergartens in the Nevsky district, you must either contact the MFC at the place of residence, or fill out the documents yourself on the public services portal of Russia. And in the first and second cases, you need to provide certain documents:

• legal representative's passport;
• child's birth certificate and residence registration form;
• other documents that may give the right to a benefit (certificate from the place of work that one of the parents is a judge, prosecutor, soldier, employee of the internal affairs bodies; a document stating that the family is poor, which can be taken in the bodies of social protection of the population, a certificate that the mother is single, etc.).

When queuingbe sure to indicate the choice of three preschool institutions, having previously studied the kindergartens of the Nevsky district. In doing so, there are some factors to consider, as listed below.

Choosing Kindergarten

Now the situation is such that you don’t have to choose (only if you don’t belong to privileged categories), you have to agree to the kindergarten that the education department provides. But when applying, parents can indicate a priority kindergarten (you can specify up to three kindergartens), in the queue for which they will stand.

It is necessary to thoroughly approach the choice, so you should read on the forums and children's websites with the responses of other parents to different kindergartens in the Nevsky district. Reviews, of course, are subjective, but still useful.

In addition, you can go to the nearest establishments on an "excursion", see how they are equipped inside, and possibly get acquainted with the headmaster, educators and their assistants. It is better to come in the late afternoon to talk with the mothers of children who are already attending this kindergarten, their feedback will be the most correct.

It is also worth paying attention to the additional classes offered by the kindergarten administration: to find out if they are paid or not, whether it is necessary to visit them, by whom they are conducted.

Types of preschools

Kindergartens of the Nevsky district, like any other, are divided into several types: general developmental, compensatory and combined. Let's consider each of thema little more:

1. General development kindergartens are needed for the universal development of the child. In such institutions, they will do a little of everything: fine arts, modeling, physical education. Sometimes, on the basis of general developing kindergartens, groups are made with a more in-depth study of some subjects, for example: nature or natural science, art or religion, mathematics or a foreign language. Such institutions include kindergarten 101 in the Nevsky district, as well as 102 and 33.

2. Compensatory institutions work with children who have any developmental pathologies. There they are provided with all the necessary assistance: psychological, speech therapy and other medical. In such kindergartens, groups are usually small, so that absolutely every child is given enough attention. These institutions also include he alth-improving gardens for sickly children, for example, kindergartens No. 131, 121 and 103 in the Nevsky district.

3. A combined kindergarten is an institution where both compensatory groups and general developmental groups function. Recently, the trend of co-staying of children with and without pathologies is spreading more and more. In the Nevsky district, these are gardens No. 1, 102, 93.

Kindergarten attendance forms

A child can attend preschool either full or half day. If we are talking about private kindergartens, then there you can agree on a non-daily visit to a kindergarten. How can you characterize each of the modes?

1. Full day is the standard and ubiquitous mode of attending a preschool. Children are usually brought in by 8 am and picked up between 6 pm and 8 pm, depending on how the particular garden operates.

2. Part-time (or short stay groups) is an alternative to having a child just stay at home or attend paid developmental classes. In this mode, getting used to the garden will be easier, the child will not feel abandoned by his parents for the whole day. It is necessary to find out in advance what the daily routine is during a short visit, since there are kindergartens in which such children are not fed - this is simply not provided for by their internal rules. In addition, sometimes it is possible to bring a child both in the first shift (in the morning) and in the second (from about 15:00 to 20:00).

An alternative to public kindergarten

Private kindergartens in the Nevsky district are an excellent solution for parents of those children who, for some reason, cannot go to a state kindergarten. Pre-primary education, while seemingly free and accessible, is not always the case. The queue to the kindergarten in the Nevsky district is quite long, so you should not hope that your child will get there.

Setting up a child in a private garden

It is best to take care of the device in a private garden in advance. They usually lower their prices in the summer to attract customers. Thus, if the cost of a kindergarten since September is, for example, about 15 thousand for a part-time day, then, having concluded an agreement in April-May,parents may be able to save 2-3 thousand per month, thus for a year it will already be 18-27 thousand, this money will not be superfluous to anyone.

In the future, perhaps in a year (while the child is in a private institution), the queue for kindergartens in the Nevsky district will move up, and the child will be able to go to the state kindergarten already adapted and more prepared.

Pros of a private kindergarten

The undoubted advantage of a private kindergarten is the occupancy of groups. Usually there are much fewer children in them than in state ones, where sometimes the pupils do not have enough lockers or beds. In addition, the attention paid to "private" children cannot be compared with anything else: here they study more, and invite various teachers and specialists, they feed better and more often (sometimes even discussing the menu with parents is possible).

Perks of the state garden

The state kindergarten, although it cannot boast of a small number of children in groups, it also has its advantages. For example, their own territory, on which a playground will be located (which is usually not the case in private gardens: their children walk on playgrounds near residential buildings). In addition, children quickly become independent in "state" kindergartens, since there are more of them, educators do not physically have time to pay attention to everyone - you have to cope on your own. Also a plus is the constant presence of a medical worker in the garden.

In any case, the choice is up to the parents: if there is suchopportunity, then, of course, it is better to send the child to a private kindergarten in the Nevsky district. If not, then in some state institutions the child will feel great.
