Most children over the age of 3 are preparing to go to kindergarten . This is a very exciting moment for both the kids themselves and their parents. Filling out the documents, some of them pay attention to the full name of the institution - a combined type of kindergarten. What this formulation is, far from everyone knows, and from this anxiety only grows. Let's try to figure out what are the features of such a kindergarten.
Types of kindergartens
The types of kindergartens and their activities are determined by an order approving a model provision for preschool education. This document is binding on the administration of state and municipal preschool institutions. For numerous private kindergartens, he acts as an example. The order defines the following types of preschool institutions:
- general developing type;
- compensating view;
- development center;
- combined type.
Each of these gardens has its own specifics of work, which allows you to make comfortable staying in them for a variety of children, including those with developmental features, its delay, children with disabilities.
Kindergarten combined type - what is it?
A pre-school institution of this type includes several groups of various orientations. Along with the common developmental gardens for most gardens, compensating or wellness groups are represented in it. This allows all children to learn together, see and recognize each other's characteristics. It is believed that children with developmental disabilities better adapt to their environment if they regularly have the opportunity to observe their fully healthy peers.
Group focus
MDOU "Kindergarten of combined type" includes groups of very different orientations. This can be a combination of all three specializations: general developmental, compensating and improving, and only two of them, for example, general developing and compensating. A garden of a combined type may have in its structure groups of speech therapy focus, in which there will be babies with speech defects. Often found in such institutions are groups for children with developmental delays, both mental and physical. Some gardens have a 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 kindergarten of a combined type. 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 necessary for the education and development of preschool children;
- directly a training program.
MDOU "Kindergarten of combined type" must have all the necessary means for implementing such a program. For example, in an institution where there are groups for children with speech impairments, speech therapists, defectologists, and teachers should be present on the staff. Children with mental retardation need the help of psychologists. Doctors of various specialties usually also relate to employees, without which a kindergarten of a combined kind cannot work. What kind of specialists these will be depends on the orientation of the correctional groups.
Acquisition by pupils
What is a combined type garden and how are children accepted into it? The acquisition of such an institution by pupils is also based on a federal order. The age at which children can go to a 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. Children are accepted into general developmental groups on the basis of their achievement of the appropriate age and number in the line for a vacant place. For admission to the correctional group, the conclusion of certain specialists is also required - a psychologist, a defectologist, a neurologist or a surgeon. The list of specialists is determined depending on the focus of the group and the health characteristics of the baby. The acquisition of a combined type of kindergarten by pupils has another feature. Usually they try to give the kids to that DOW, which is located next to the house. But kindergartens of a combined type are not so common, for example, as general-developing ones. Therefore, often in such an institution are children living in another district of the city.
Organization of stay
How the kids will spend their time in a kindergarten of a combined type depends on both the educational program approved by the institution and the specifics of compensating groups. In addition to the standard activities for general developmental institutions, such as free play, walking, sleeping, in this kindergarten special attention is paid to correctional classes of children with specialists. Speech therapy games, physiotherapy exercises, the development of fine motor skills and many other ways to spend time with the baby’s health are practiced.
Employees
Having learned what a combined garden is, most parents understand why this institution has such a large staff. In addition to educators and their assistants, which form the basis of the staff of the general developing kindergarten, it also includes teachers and doctors of specialization. Meanwhile, they are subject to the same requirements as for other DOU employees:
- The presence of a state standard document on higher or specialized secondary specialized education.
- The lack of deprivation of the opportunity to engage in pedagogical activities on the basis of a court order.
- Lack of criminal record for certain types of offenses.
- Full legal capacity in the manner prescribed by law.
- Submission of documents indicating the absence of a specific list of diseases approved by the authorized health authority.
Of course, in addition to these basic requirements, the administration of the kindergarten takes into account when hiring a person for work and his personal qualities. Work in any garden requires a lot of patience, professionalism and love for children from the employee. But for a preschool institution of a combined type, such qualities are especially important, because children in correctional groups need special care.
