Contents of sections of the annual plan
a) Annual objectives. Expected results.
The annual goals of a preschool institution must be formulated specifically and clearly. Their implementation ensures the improvement of the pedagogical skills of kindergartens, the manifestation of creativity in working with children, and the improvement of the joint work of the kindergarten and family in the upbringing and development of children’s individual abilities. As practice shows, 2-3 tasks are actually feasible, so it is advisable to plan no more than two or three tasks.
A clear formulation of tasks makes it possible to determine the degree of their novelty: is the task new or a continuation of work on the task of the last academic year.
Next, the expected results for completing annual tasks with teachers, children and parents are planned.

When planning various options and forms of control, it is necessary to be guided by the requirements for the implementation of control, namely:
— control must be targeted, systematic, consistent, comprehensive and differentiated.
- it should combine the functions of checking, training, instructing, preventing shortcomings, as well as disseminating the best teaching experience.
