TSN begins debate: what should be the reform of the kindergartens in Ukraine? Who's in the garden: the teacher, parents or children? What you need to learn up to six years old child? How to bring the happy citizens of other countries?
TSN correspondent Marina Makuschenko visited each country and personally saw how they built the system pre-school education, what values lay in the children from the cradle, and they invented the growth recipes happy citizens.
Dangerous toys, dirt and strong male hands - so bring one of the happiest nations in the world. 98% of Danish children from the first year of life in the gardens. 5 days a week. 8 hours. It is enough that there is not only cared for the children and taught them, but also brought up.
Features pre-school education in Denmark:
1. The decree - to 10 months.
2. Place in the garden - 98% of children attend kindergartens. Location is guaranteed to everyone.
3. Age: from 6 months to 6 years.
4. Group size: from 12 to 23 children. Dividing into groups conditionally - for reporting. Children freely pass between the groups, regardless of age.
5. Caregivers: a group of two teachers and one assistant.
We got a recipe for Danish happiness. Garden in the Danish town of Ikast. Breakfast. The nursery serves a two-year World Buffet. At the next table 11-month-old Conrad eats itself. The teacher does not make there. Offers: "What flakes? Oat, wheat or corn? The main thing - that the child himself made a choice. Matilda paused - and scored oatmeal. "
Rule №1. I - himself
To the child sit at the table, there is no need to wait for the whole group. Children eat when they come, and if they want to. The trick Danish gardens - on the relationship. They lay the foundation of trust in and build on it a person. Also, children are taught to respect each other, patience and self-reliance.
Rule №2. moustached nanny
In general, Denmark 20% of male teachers working in kindergartens. And they cope with the children is not worse than women.
Rule №3. No sugar!
But what in these gardens really strict - with sugar. Is a forced measure. Because Danes love to sweet surpassed the whole of Europe - 8 kilograms of candy per person per year. It is certainly not about health. When Danish residents have faced the problem of obesity, the government recommended to exclude sugar from baby food. So, today in the gardens for children after 3 years old are allowed to eat only one sweet biscuits a year.
Rule №4. Honesty
The Danish tradition - at an early age to tell the whole truth without ornaments. The children are referred to as death, and about where the burgers are taken.
Rule №5. Closer to nature
In Denmark, on the outskirts of the big cities, there are forest garden, where children carry from the city center. These children do not need art or toys and puddles need, insects and trees. There are students of all day on the street, where the jump, play and even sleep (on the tables). The task of adults - do not bother."Our children - more concentrated. As well as creative, because there is no toy! And I want to play. On the ground, leaves - their imagination is better developed, and yet they constantly train balance and we we can say that it was our graduates are better prepared to sitting at a desk, "- commented in garden.
But to read and write in Danish gardens do not teach! This is also a century-old tradition. First-grader should be able to write your own name - and that's enough.
