Sooner or later everything parents are facing a dilemma - to give or not to give the child to the kindergarten. You can spend hours debating the need to communicate with their peers, the superiority of private nursery gardens, and even better - professional governess, but that's how the saying goes, one on which funds enough. But few of us, giving a child in kindergarten, expects to face problems far more serious than the insipid semolina and recurrent colds.
mother story, which happened in the kindergarten best
Raising the issue of kindergarten problems, "Gingerbread Man" decided to find out first-hand information. And, forgive me, Kiev officials and heads of kindergartens of the world, but I have decided to seek the truth, the uterus where it really tell without the traditional embellishments and hype. And who will speak about the problems in kindergarten, better than moms who find themselves with these problems one by one?
From Kiev Irina Rudenko agreed to tell «Balls» about his sad experience of registration of the child in kindergarten:
For health reasons my child should go to the gastroenterology garden. We have in this area Goloseyevsky only one. There are no seats. Of course, we are standing on the stage, and it is unknown when this place will do. But the paradox is that this kindergarten is not even a nurse. As I said, the head, on a salary of one work is not, therefore, wait for the nurse, pushed in the decree will be released in August. But, they say, do not worry, if suddenly your child has a sore stomach, caregivers immediately cause an ambulance. But kindergarten may even work without health worker? This is nonsense.
Another interesting point - the nursery group, where I was going to issue a son, he is on the second floor. The windows are always open in the summer, and there are benches near the windows. And all I heard about it on the head, it is: "We do not zone to put bars on the windows." Maybe this is correct, but it's small children.
Since seats in gastroenterology garden there now, we were offered a neighboring garden, which supposedly "nothing is worse." I go there, rewrote the menu and then the menu, go to our pediatrician. medical conclusion was clear - my child is categorically counter-power.
I can even specify if you want to:
Breakfast - cereal milk, loaf and tea;
Lunch - kapustnyak, mashed potatoes,pickleTea;
Snack - hard-boiled egg, loaf, tea;
Dinner - rice grandmother, tea loaf.
Impressive? This garden is not expensive, about 200 hryvnia per month. However, immediately warned that the need to pay an initial fee of 500 hryvnia per month, and donate money on consumables (toilet paper, detergent, etc.). But, however, for some reason, immediately warned that when a child the next year will jump to another group, I would have to conclude a new agreement with a garden and a new pay an initial contribution.
For the purity of the experiment, I went for the third kindergarten. He's considered a favorite for the garden, as costs $ 500 per month. I was like, look. Of course, everything is beautiful and colorful, the kitchen smells delicious. But struck the other - as in the first two, in this dear little garden on the faces of teachers, too, was indifference to the children. Once seen, I do seriously think about, and my child need a kindergarten.

But not all parents have the opportunity to find an alternative to the kindergarten as a grandmother, a nanny or mother's refusal to work.
So, what is going on behind the kindergarten door, when parents go to work?
A child can not be right, because he is a child
Roughly the nurse of one of Kiev kindergartens tried to explain to me how on the cheek of my three year old daughter appeared clear trace the palm of an adult. Simply put, a slap, which weighed a child in a baby skin was fixed for the long haul, and for my coming not only failed, but also suffused bright purple.
A further oil painting. Of course, the child "lied" and kind-hearted nurse who worked all his life with the children, in principle, could not do this. But it's all emotion, another interesting moment - call the nurse with my daughter in my presence.
And it looked like this: "It's not me you hit and the girl from the group. Well, remember, you're forgotten. Remember, I tell you! (Voice rising). Well, I remember? I'm telling you that you've forgotten, it's not me! ".
I was not present at this "nice" conversation, and really could have thought that a woman abominably misrepresented. And most importantly, that the logic of some "iron": the child can not be right for one simple reason - he is a child.
Only here the purple "bunch of fives" on the daughter's cheek at exactly twice the size of children's handprints in the group.
Unfortunately, my case is not the most unfortunate.
Delicious menu, which does not exist
To date, in the usual nursery garden Kiev on the left bank are 148 hryvnia per month. And now the simple math: in the month of 20-23 working days. Total, one day visit your child in kindergarten is costing you about 7 hryvnia. It is solely on the power (payment of staff and all costs are usually paid from the city budget). And now try to somehow split 7 hryvnia for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Happened? Here's what it is.
And therefore you should not especially surprising if one day came for the child early, you will not see his plate special frills. To provide good nutrition for children that kind of money, in principle, impossible.
Let's be honest - kindergartens is not Hogwarts, and foolish to expect that in the last 7 hryvnia per day, the chef will make sandwiches with red fish from the air, then, as they say, "maemo maemo sho '.
There is no space, but can be negotiated
Even some 10 years ago the issue of the child in the garden was not a problem. Groups were small gardens have enough, and you could even choose what your garden closer to home or in beautiful playgrounds. Now specifically to touch grub does not have to, and sometimes parents are forced to stand in the queue to kindergarten as soon as the child is discharged from hospital. You see, to three years in place and fit.
Therefore, right now you may well hear what your child would have gladly accepted, but that place has, unfortunately, no. Groups are completed. However, you will immediately hinted that, say, the group can and seal (where 20 children there and 21 minutes will fit), but because it requires a stimulus. But "stimulates" the heads of kindergarten every parent, based on the size of your wallet. This could be the carpet in the group buying the water cooler "exclusively for children", buying new curtains or blinds, solid "donation" and so on. Practice shows that the human imagination is limitless.
Special group with spetspodohodom
It is presented as the possibility of his kindergarten head, when I choose where to send their children. Solely for financial reasons my children went to the most common nursery, beautiful and without a solid set-top box "specials." In those days the nursery group costing me 80 hryvnia per month per child. Crèche in the same kindergarten, which for some reason were considered special group, parents treated exactly twice as much.
Of journalistic curiosity, I slipped nose in his business and decided to find out what gives children from a neighboring group prefix "special" other than that of their parents entertain their ambitions?
So, a common kitchen, porridge from a single boiler. Portions are absolutely identical. Cots, toys and other paraphernalia Kindergarten is also one to one. Then why in one preschool institution there is a gap in pay twice? Everything was very simple. If the "proletarian" children in the afternoon were given milk and gingerbread, the "chosen" - yogurt (which by the way does not cost much more than that of the stick). And, of course, "nail" spetspodhoda was that "spetsdeti" once a week for 20 minutes of "studying" English.
To date, such stsetsgruppa worth 2600 USD. per month. For the money spetsdeti get a more modern playground, than all the rest, and in addition to traditional English, the so-called bonus in the form of painting and sculpting lessons.
Only here: and drawing and modeling have in common groups.
Without vaccinations do not come
That's what I was told when I made out my Little Ones in the garden. Now, after 2008 began a loud campaign against mandatory vaccination of children, you can just forget about the fact that the absence of vaccination - a cross on the kindergarten.
If you refuse to admit a child in kindergarten on the grounds that the child is under three years were not made all vaccinations - can easily cause to the aid of heavy artillery in the form of grandparents and go to offensive. According to the law, the whole capitulation kindergarten administration is provided to you.
However, there is one very interesting point. Kindergarten Administration has the right at its discretion to require that in the statement of the child health clinics (without which you would never accept in any kindergarten) head was personally written, that the responsibility for the health of the child rests directly on the clinic and the most head. If a group in the garden is very small, up to ten people, an unvaccinated child simply can not accept, will find you a thousand excuses. The question how this is legal, is not discussed. Believe me, to prove his innocence, when you're holding a frightened child crying, very hard and uncomfortable.
Well, to do or not to vaccinate their children - it is highly individual choice of each.
Caregivers "under the hood"
Oddly enough, you can even offer such a service. Given that webcams have long no surprise, and the scandals that, no, no, yes, and flares Once the trial of a teacher, some kindergartens have decided to protect themselves against possible problems.
Let's be honest - recruiting new caregiver or nanny head can scan the brain of a potential employee and know exactly what's on his mind. It is always a lottery. Except that in the case of errors do not lose kindergarten or even we - adults lose our children.
So, you may be asked to issue a child in the group, which is equipped with a webcam and has a constant access to the Internet. For protection against pedophiles and other rabble access to the site have only parents who give individual passwords. There is such service, of course, is not cheap. To talk about how it is justified, and whether you need to make your child a party reality show "Life in a glass", exposing it to the web (because there is no system that can not hack) meaningless. Everyone has their own sad experience and its own truth. History knows of hundreds of cases, when the webcam in the group secretly installed by parents and based on the video later criminal proceedings.
P.S.Kindergarten - an integral part of the lives of most children, and very catchy. And sometimes it depends on you, how will remember your kindergarten your child.
