Most of the children who have reached the age of 3 are preparing to go to kindergarten. This is a very exciting moment for both the kids themselves and their parents. When filling out the documents, some of them pay attention to the full name of the institution - a kindergarten of a combined type. Not everyone knows what this wording is, and this only increases anxiety. Let's try to figure out what are the features of such a kindergarten.
Types of kindergartens
Types of kindergartens and their activities are determined by the order approving the model regulation on preschool educational institutions. This document is mandatory for the administration of state and municipal preschool institutions. For numerous private kindergartens, he acts as an example. The order defines the following types of preschoolinstitutions:
- general developmental type;
- compensatory type;
- development center;
- combined view.
Each of these kindergartens has its own specifics of work, which makes it possible to make a comfortable stay in them for a variety of children, including those with special needs, its delay, children with disabilities.
Combined kindergarten - what is it?
A preschool institution of this type includes several groups of various orientations. Along with the general developmental ones common to most gardens, it includes groups of a compensatory or he alth-improving type. This allows all children to learn together, to see and recognize the features of each other. It is believed that babies with developmental disabilities adapt better to their environment if they regularly have the opportunity to observe their completely he althy peers.
Orientation of groups
MDOU "Kindergarten of a combined type" includes groups of very different directions. It can be either a combination of all three specializations: general developmental, compensatory and he alth-improving, or only two of them, for example, general developmental and compensatory. A combined-type garden may have speech therapy groups in its structure, in which there will be children with speech defects. Groups for children with developmental delays, both mental andphysical. Some kindergartens have the material and technical base for teaching children with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
Educational program
There is a document that guides every preschool institution in its activities, including a combined kindergarten. What it is? It is an educational program that is developed and approved by the kindergarten itself. However, it must comply with certain federal standards. In such a program are defined:
- teaching methods;
- funds needed for the education and development of preschoolers;
- the training program itself.
MDOU "Kindergarten of a combined type" must have all the necessary means for the implementation of such a program. For example, in an institution where there are groups for children with speech disorders, speech therapists, defectologists, and teachers should be present on the staff. Children with mental retardation need the help of psychologists. Doctors of various speci alties usually also belong to the staff, without whom a combined kindergarten cannot work. What kind of specialists they will be depends on the focus of the correctional groups.
Staffing
What is a combination garden, and how are children admitted to it? The staffing of such an institution by pupils also takes place on the basis of a federal order. The age at which babies can go toa kindergarten of a combined type depends on the material and technical capabilities of a particular institution. Most often, kids go to preschool when they reach 3 years. In general developmental groups, children are accepted on the basis of their reaching the appropriate age and the number in the queue for a vacant place. For enrollment in the correctional group, the conclusion of certain specialists is also required - a psychologist, defectologist, neurologist or surgeon. The list of a specialist is determined depending on the direction of the group and the he alth characteristics of the baby himself. The staffing of a kindergarten of a combined type by pupils has another feature. Usually they try to send kids to the preschool, which is located next to the house. But kindergartens of a combined type are not as common, for example, as general developmental ones. Therefore, often in such an institution there are children living in another area of the city.
Organization of time of stay
How kids will spend their time in a combined kindergarten depends both on the educational program approved by the institution and on the specifics of compensatory groups. In addition to the standard activities for general development institutions, such as free play, walking, sleeping, in such a kindergarten, special attention is paid to corrective classes for children with specialists. Speech therapy games, physiotherapy exercises, the development of fine motor skills and many other ways to spend time with the benefit of the baby's he alth are practiced.
Staff
Most parents, having learned what a combination garden is, understand why this institution has such a large staff. In addition to educators and their assistants, who form the basis of the staff of the general developmental kindergarten, it includes teachers and doctors of narrow specializations. Meanwhile, they are subject to the same requirements as for other employees of the preschool educational institution:
- Availability of a state document on higher or specialized secondary education.
- No deprivation of the opportunity to engage in teaching activities based on a court order.
- No convictions for certain types of offenses.
- Full legal capacity as prescribed by law.
- Provision of documents indicating the absence of a specific list of diseases approved by the authorized he alth authority.
Of course, in addition to these basic requirements, the administration of the kindergarten takes into account when hiring a person and his personal qualities. Work in any garden requires a lot of patience, professionalism and love for children from the employee. And for a preschool institution of a combined type, such qualities are especially important, because kids in correctional groups need special care.
