Summer is a wonderful time for both children and adults. It is in the summer that children have a great opportunity to get a health benefit for the whole year. Therefore, many parents, long before the onset of heat, begin to take care of where and how the child will spend the summer. Of course, the best option is to send the child out of town to relatives or to the camp to the sea. But, unfortunately, not all parents have such an opportunity, so many children spend the summer in kindergarten.
Do kindergartens work in the summer, and what additional activities are conducted in them? These questions are of interest to most mothers and dads who can not go on leave for the whole summer and spend this time with their child.
State kindergartens do not work in the usual way in the summer. In June, as a rule, there are no changes in the work of a pre-school educational institution. Exception is only July and August. At this time there are holidays of educators and other employees of the kindergarten, in connection with which, some preschool institutions are closed, while others continue to work on duty. Closing of kindergartens for the summer is done in such a way that in each district there is at least one working kindergarten. Therefore, parents can not worry - if their kindergarten is closed for the summer, they can find a place in the next.
The work of a kindergarten in the summer is a little different from another time. Children are paid no less attention, but they spend much more time outdoors. The main summer classes in kindergarten:
- collective games in the open air;
- active and regular exercise;
- sport competitions;
- familiarizing children with their surrounding nature;
- reading children's literature.
A huge role in how interesting children will spend the summer in kindergarten is played by the desire and ability of the caregiver to make every day bright for the child. Parents, in turn, should not restrict their baby in attending various electives and additional classes. The mass of impressions of children leaves visiting excursions in the kindergarten in the summer. Parents should give the child the opportunity to visit theaters, museums, parks and other interesting places with their peers. This helps to expand the outlook for the baby and its development. A visit to the zoo and the botanical garden is extremely useful for the child. Preschoolers in summer in kindergarten can receive a lot of new and interesting impressions, because it is during this period that they are released from training sessions and devote time to sports games and excursions.
An important drawback in the work of the kindergarten in the summer is that the composition of each group is constantly changing, and also the teachers are constantly changing. The child does not have time to get used to the situation, as it changes again.
Another drawback is the lack of opportunities for the child's recovery in the summer in kindergarten. Despite the fact that children do not get bored in the kindergarten in summer, the kindergarten is still in a noisy city. And it is known that city heat and dust do not contribute to the improvement of children. Therefore, if the parents have at least the slightest opportunity not to take the child to the kindergarten in summer, then it should be used.
Summer is not the best time to begin the first visits of the kindergarten to the baby. As a rule, in the summer months, children are less adapted to the conditions of the preschool, so it is recommended to postpone the first trip to the kindergarten until September 1, when the groups are fully staffed and their composition is not significantly changed.
