One day in the life of “Sunny”
On September 27, all teachers and preschool workers in the country celebrate their professional holiday. Employees of preschool institutions put their soul and heart into the process of learning and developing the personality of each of their pupils. It is in childhood that the foundation of the adult life of any person is laid - this is physical and mental health, personal qualities and emotional properties. Those who take responsibility for raising children become second mothers for some of them.
Every day in kindergarten is full of educational and developmental activities and is therefore fruitful and very important for any child. Here there is close communication both among children and between children and adults.
On the eve of the professional holiday, the head of the Pestyakovsky kindergarten “Solnyshko” V.A. Tolova did not refuse a request to spend one day in a preschool institution to see what pupils of different ages do outside the home, what activities teachers conduct with them, what games they play and what The menu is offered to them for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
On September 20, from the very morning, Vera Alexandrovna met me within the walls of the kindergarten that had already become her own. Every morning she makes a round of all the kindergarten groups, meets the children together with the teachers, inquires about their health and the mood of the parents. The youngest children who attend the first nursery group are examined by nurse T.V. Kochetkova. Tatyana Vasilyevna visits all groups every day, compiles lists of children who have come, and monitors the attendance of all students.
In the first nursery group there are teachers E.A. Zheleznova, L.S. Petrova and assistant teacher V.P. Timofeeva. Moms and dads trust these women for the whole day with the most intimate thing they have - their babies.
N.V. Moleva brought her son Seryozha, who will turn 2 only this fall, to “Solnyshko”. Nadezhda Viktorovna says that she started attending kindergarten at the age of 1.5 years. Seryozha adapted to the new way of life very quickly and without problems - for the first 2 days the son was left for 2 hours, for the next 2 days the child stayed until lunch, and already on the fifth day he was ready to stay for an afternoon nap. Here, in just a few months, Seryozha greatly improved the level of his verbal speech. A good result of the child’s development was achieved thanks to the direct participation and contribution of teaching staff in his educational and developmental process.
Vera Aleksandrovna Tolova shared: “This is far from an isolated case, all our children are easy to teach and sociable. Each child comes to the group in the morning with a smile on his face and shakes hands. It cannot be any other way, because “second mothers” are always waiting for them here with cordiality and goodwill.
From the first nursery group, children are transferred to the second nursery group. Currently, teachers G.A. Sizova, E.A. Zheleznova and assistant teacher M.V. Tolstyeva work here. Children aged 3-4 years attend the younger group and are under the careful supervision of experienced teachers S.P. Gorokhova, N.V. Devyatkina and assistant teacher L.V. Skorikova.
Middle group – for boys and girls aged 4-5 years. It is a transitional period from the toddler period to the preparatory school period, which includes the senior and preparatory groups.
In the middle group, teachers S.V. Volgina, G.A. Krasnova and assistant teacher G.V. Gribkova work with children, in the senior group - N.V. Devyatkina, S.A. Grebnova and N.V. Moleva, in the preparatory group - A.I. Bokarev, S.V. Volgina and N.S. Kruchinina.
Every day for all pupils of the “Solnyshko” kindergarten begins with morning exercises, which are accompanied by musical accompaniment. Teachers conduct warm-ups in the form of physical and dance exercises. After this, the guys get ready for breakfast and wash their hands. They sit down at the tables, each in their own place, and have breakfast. On this day, oatmeal porridge, coffee with milk and a sandwich with butter were prepared for the children. The food was very tasty and healthy, the guys refreshed themselves, gained strength for further pastime and, of course, thanked their favorite chefs O.V. Tarutina and O.A. Tulupova.
After breakfast, all groups begin educational and developmental classes that correspond to the specific age of the students. In children they take 8-10 minutes, with age the time increases, and in the preparatory group they reach 30-35 minutes.
On the day of my visit, a mathematics lesson was held in the preparatory group. A.I. Bokareva held it in a playful way, where the fairy-tale character Dunno gave the children a parcel with various geometric shapes, numbers and counting sticks. In his accompanying letter, he asked the guys to teach him math skills. They agreed to help Dunno.
The children counted to 10 and back, remembered all the geometric shapes they already knew, played entertaining games, repeated the days of the week, drew a certain number of circles in rectangles, and made a beautiful butterfly from bright multi-colored counting sticks. All tasks were alternated with physical education sessions. The boys and girls performed them diligently and carefully, for which Alexandra Ivanovna praised them and said that now Dunno would also be a literate and educated student.
In general, the mathematics lesson in the preparatory group took place in a calm atmosphere, the teacher communicated with her students in an even voice, the children listened to her carefully and completed all the necessary tasks.
At the end of each lesson, the children themselves evaluate their success - they raise a circle of a certain color, corresponding to the extent to which they completed all the tasks. The result was positive.
The design lesson was conducted by N.V. Devyatkina in the senior group. First, the children did breathing exercises, guessed a riddle about autumn, and played the game “Fruits and Vegetables.”
It was not for nothing that a picture of an apple tree was attached to the board. Natalya Vyacheslavovna asked the guys what shape and color apples come in. After all, the lesson was dedicated to this fruit - the children had to make an apple out of paper.
N.V. Devyatkina showed the procedure for making it. The boys and girls watched this carefully and only then got down to business. For this purpose, colored pieces of paper, glue and scissors were prepared on each table. The task turned out to be quite difficult for the children, some of them needed the help of a teacher.
As a result, each student made a paper apple and demonstrated it to their friends and teacher, who, at the end of the lesson, treated everyone to real apples.
Daily walks in the fresh air are provided for pupils. This day turned out to be rainy and cool, so the children remained in their groups, where they could play with toys and with each other.
After a hearty lunch, which included potato soup with canned fish, lazy cabbage rolls with chicken and dried fruit compote, the guys went for a “quiet hour”. After the rest, an afternoon snack awaited them: boiled milk and curd-apple pudding.
Having refreshed themselves a little, the children began to play and wait for their parents, who were soon to come and take their children home. During their time apart during the day, they, of course, missed each other, and in the evening they will have time to enjoy being at home together.
…It is impossible not to mention the other employees of the “Solnyshko” kindergarten. During the regular vacations of the main teaching staff, experienced teachers T.V. Latvis and O.E. Losnova replace them. Coziness and comfort in this preschool institution is provided by the laundry operator O.V. Volkova, thanks to whom children always sleep on clean bed linen and use clean towels. Caretaker G.I. Karpacheva also makes a huge contribution to making the lives of Pestyakov boys and girls carefree and rosy. The safety of the employees and students of “Solnyshka” is ensured by watchmen and janitors N.A. Korobkov and A.N. Modin.
I would like to note that the impressions of staying in a children's institution were very deep and left an emotional mark for a long time. It’s not for nothing that they say that children are the flowers of life... The more love and care invested in them, then when they become adults, these same qualities will be acceptable to them, which they will pass on to their sons and daughters.
On behalf of the editors, I congratulate all teachers and preschool workers in the Pestyakovsky district on their professional holiday! I wish that in all the “temples of childhood” children’s voices will never fall silent, their number will not decrease, but only increase, and your hard but grateful work will become even more in demand!
O. Platonova.

A day in the life in kindergarten on Lesnoy, part 2
It’s good for us to walk on the street together, it’s good for us to play on the street together. Someone is kicking the ball around in unison, “Hip-hip-hurray!” for basketball. Someone is sitting by the sand making Easter cakes, a romantic is picking a bouquet of dandelions. There are swings and toys in every style and color. And after the walk, the guys rehearse the roles of the puppet show. We studied, played, walked, now go to bed. It’s time for “Quiet Hour” in kindergarten. Thanks to the work of our children's videographer, you can see how it was a year later, and after two, and after many, many years. And here you can watch a video of kindergarten graduation.
One day in Montessori kindergarten
Children move chaotically around the classroom, while the classroom is very quiet, and everyone is busy with something. Masha fastens her buttons and hums something, barely audible, but, carried away, the girl raises her voice and sings louder and louder. Sasha walks by and defiantly covers his ears. “Masha, very loud!” - he says, Masha falls silent. Maria Montessori called this education freedom. When a child is allowed to do everything that is not dangerous to his life and that does not limit the freedom of other people. Of course, you can shout, but then you will disturb others, and next time someone can disturb you. Children easily grasp the logic of simple everyday rules.
From the outside it seems that teachers are practically not included in the process. Actually this is not true. Montessori teachers are busy with their main task - they observe children. And they know how to direct children in the right direction in a timely manner; they conduct presentations of materials individually or in small groups. As a result, children are not left unattended. But the main principle still remains unchanged - do not interfere, give maximum freedom of expression, do not give any patterns and follow the child.
Teacher Inga says: “Recently all our children started writing. Moreover, regardless of age and knowledge of letters. When a child asks for something, and I can’t help him at the moment because I’m busy, I invite the child to write me a note so that I don’t forget about the request. At first the child is perplexed - “I can’t write,” but I answer: “All children can write. Write as best you can.” And a three or four year old kid goes for a piece of paper and a pen and scribbles some things. Then he brings the note to me and I ask, “What does it say here?” The child says: “Inga, please help me tie a ring, I’ll give it to my mother.” Of course, I fulfill the request as soon as possible. And, after a couple of days, I notice this child in the Russian language zone, he begins to show interest in letters. So by the age of six, our children begin to write quite passably.”
About two hours pass unnoticed. The sounds of classical music are heard. “Let’s finish!” - children's voices are heard from all sides. The children finish their work and rush to put things in order - put everything back in place, throw out the trash, push in the chairs. Those who have already freed themselves help others. Everyone gathers again in a circle. Now all the children have come here, no one was left outside the circle.
In the circle, the teachers thank everyone for another fruitful day, and then they pass the ball, and each of those sitting shares their impressions of what they did or learned new today. “Today I made a house out of paper,” says Nastya and shows her paper house. “I didn’t know how to do it before, but today I learned.” Some worked with red rods, some made a layout of the area and drew a map, some worked with sound boxes, and some learned to count in tens. Everyone has a story to tell.
“Today I cut and dried crackers,” says Sasha. And indeed, the aroma of dried bread can be heard from the kitchen. “Yes,” the teacher supports, “Sasha has prepared a whole baking sheet of crackers for us, now we’ll finish and go try them.”
The circle ends, the children go wash their hands and head to the kitchen, where they take saucers, line up and everyone puts crackers on their plate. After having a snack, the children get ready for a walk. They dress themselves, the elders help the younger ones to tie their hats and fasten the zippers on their outerwear. They go out for a walk in two or three parties, as some dress quickly and others slowly.
Teachers say that it happens that a child does not have time to go for a walk. He took so long to get dressed and was distracted by something that in the end, having gotten ready, he already meets a group of returning children on the threshold. He gets upset, of course, but next time he’s one of the first to get dressed.
The walk takes place on the site nearby. Children will always find something to do outside. So, today they made a snowman and danced in a circle. I stand and listen as two guys agree on how they will take turns skating.
A day in the life in kindergarten on Sverdlova part 1
Drawing lesson is one of the most favorite subjects in kindergarten and primary school for every boy and girl. Some people prefer to draw with colored pencils, while others prefer a picture drawn with a gel pen. But the most important thing is creativity, a moment of artistic inspiration and flight of fancy. Some parents save their children's drawings in the family archive, like a baby photo or a baby video. They decorate the walls in the children's room with drawings or attach pictures to the refrigerator, arranging a home exhibition of children's creativity. But at home, parents see the finished result, and videotaping a drawing lesson allows them to see the process of creating an artistic masterpiece. And here you can see photos of children in kindergarten.
One day in the life of kindergarten
A page from the life of our preschool institution
Every day in kindergarten “Friendship” cannot be everyday and monotonous. It is full of new emotions, adventures, pleasant events, interesting and funny stories of teachers and children. As in any kindergarten, there are both routine moments and planned educational activities. Our teachers, like magicians, try every day to transform systematic moments into an amazing world of knowledge. I will show you just one page from a huge magical book of preschool childhood.
Children are received outdoors. Teachers do not just monotonously receive children, but try to hug and give the child a smile, and be sure to ask a few general questions. How you greet the day is how you will spend it. Our children are in a hurry to do their morning exercises. After all, we have it either in the fresh air or with attributes in the music room. Most of all, they like exercises with transformation, where the guys try on the roles of animals, birds, and people of different professions to the accompaniment of music. This whole complex is, of course, reinforced by outdoor and didactic games.
Breakfast is a special ritual. Just as not all children love porridge, milk, kefir. The creativity of teachers knows no bounds. To interest the child, the competition “Best Kefir Mustache”, “Wow, How Big I Am!” is held. In some groups there are scales, where the child is clearly shown how healthy it is to eat in the morning.
You can write a separate story about educational activities directly. After all, the professionalism of a teacher is manifested in a creative, extraordinary approach to developing a lesson plan. We try to draw up a plan so that the children’s dialogues can be heard, and not the instructive speech of the teacher. I would like to emphasize that most classes are conducted outdoors, even in winter. After all, knowledge can be consolidated with the help of objects that surround us.
Walks in kindergarten are always eventful. In addition to routine moments, the teacher pays special attention to children’s independent play. The teacher tries to be just an observer, an assistant, and a participant. Walks are often accompanied by entertainment and magical journeys.
Well, it’s time for lunch...the catering unit’s stand is updated weekly. There could be children's drawings or photos during lunch. It is worth noting the work of teaching assistants. They pay great attention to aesthetic table setting.
During sleep time in each bedroom you can hear a fairy tale or story from the teacher, as well as accompanying relaxation music. All conditions for relaxation and recovery have been created for children. The highlight is special tactile rugs made by children together with their parents. Also in the bedroom there is a relaxation corner where the child can retire at any time.
The second half of the day is teachers’ favorite time, when they can engage in individual work with children, creative or project activities. Teachers pay special attention to entertainment evenings, where, together with the music director, they try to create a festive mood for children.
In the evening, children happily wait for their parents, but at the same time, waiting for the next day, they leave kindergarten with sadness. After all, every employee of the Druzhba kindergarten tries to create comfortable conditions for the comprehensive development of children.
