Child safety in kindergarten depends on an integrated approach to this issue of all parties. Kindergarten teachers, their immediate supervisor and, of course, parents should participate in the prevention of the development of danger.
For every loving parent, their child is the best thing in life. Children are not always obedient, especially at a young age. That is why the age of the child, when he is taken to kindergarten, is of great importance in the prevention of childhood injuries.
In order to protect the kids, the basic rules responsible for the safety of children in kindergarten have been developed. Here, for each child, the person who was directly next to him during the day is responsible.

There are basic labor protection rules for educators. This position is allowed to occupy people over 18 years of age. A person must undergo a medical examination and present a health record upon admission to work.
After applying for a job, the immediate supervisor conducts an introductory briefing. The educator needs to know the basic rules of work and adhere to them impeccably. He must clearly understand that child safety depends on his actions.
In the kindergarten, the teacher does not have the right to leave unattended the place where the children are.

Instructions for working with children during the working day
The teacher must ensure the safe conduct of classes and, if necessary, make changes to the schedule of training sessions to achieve better conditions in the educational process.
Of great importance in adapting the child to life is the safety nook created by the teacher in the kindergarten. His task includes a visual demonstration of human behavior among people.
Corners are different. Some are aimed at developing imagination, creative abilities, others - at studying the rules of the road, remembering colors and geometric shapes. Thanks to these forms of play, children develop faster and become more sociable.
The teacher is required to conduct classes in which children learn road safety. In kindergarten, it is necessary to teach children basic safety rules in everyday life, in case of fire, earthquake and other natural disasters.
Street behavior
During the walk, the teacher should not be distracted by extraneous conversations that are not related to children. He must monitor each child, know everyone in person and monitor his whereabouts. It is strictly forbidden to leave the child alone on the street, even on the playground where children are constantly playing. If at least one person remains in the group, the caregiver must leave a junior assistant to observe him during the general walk.
Group Precautions
It is strictly forbidden to allow outsiders into the group and at their workplace who are not related to educational work.
The caretaker's place, his desk, should always be kept in order. Sharp objects (needles, scissors, pins, hair clips, paper knives, etc.) should not be kept in sight. For work, you need to use scissors only with blunt ends. It is also strictly forbidden to pin your clothes with pins and needles. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in the pockets there are no sharp and beating objects. Only low-heeled shoes are allowed.
The teacher is strictly forbidden to give the child to a stranger and relatives under 16 years of age. The same applies to parents who appear after a child while intoxicated.

It is important to propose topics on the causes of a traffic accident, on the rules of conduct when crossing streets (pedestrian duties), in transport. Traffic signals and traffic signs are being studied.
During a walk, it is important to ensure that the child does not eat unfamiliar berries or mushrooms (in the summer).
Rules of temperature and hygiene
The duty of the educator is to monitor the temperature regime. In hot weather, be sure to ensure that the child has a hat, and in winter it is necessary to wear boots that do not allow moisture to pass through. The teacher is obliged to prevent the development of the disease by selecting outerwear according to weather conditions.
It is important to observe basic hygiene rules. Each pupil should have an individual toothbrush, comb and towel.
Do not keep medicines indoors, especially in the field of view of children. First aid kit must be on a shelf out of the reach of the child. It should contain only brilliant green, iodine, peroxide, bandage, cotton wool, adhesive plaster.

The rooms for the game and the bedrooms should be bright enough, and the air temperature and humidity should not exceed acceptable standards. The nurse and the kindergarten manager are required to monitor the sanitary condition of the kitchen and the entire kindergarten.
Many large gardens provide a nurse's dietary allowance rate. She needs to check the purchased products for expiration dates, that is, she should first of all be interested in child safety in kindergarten. The nurse should calculate the calorie content of the products and create a menu for every day for children of different ages.
Sometimes situations may arise when a child urgently needs medical attention. In this case, an emergency medical assistance is provided by the medical professional before the ambulance arrives, and if he is not present, the caregiver.
End-of-day instructions for working with children
At the end of the working day, the teacher submits all materials on the work of the teacher next, morning or night shift. If after leaving the room no one is left, it is the responsibility of the educator to check the group. It is necessary to turn off all electrical appliances, ventilate the room, and then close all windows and windows. After the parents took the last child, the teacher needs to prepare material for classes the next day. It is important to think it over in advance.
Safety rules in kindergarten during emergencies
During an emergency, you should not panic. Each educator has a specific instruction of action in a particular case. It can be an accident, fire, natural disaster.

It is very important to monitor the surrounding territory of the kindergarten. Garbage should be promptly removed to a special area outside the building. Attic rooms must be closed, and the keys to them should be left in an easily accessible place (of course not for children).
What to do if a fire occurs
The safety of kindergartens and children in it during a fire will depend to the maximum on whether all fire safety rules in the premises have been observed.
First of all, it is necessary to check the evacuation entrances and exits. They should not be littered with unnecessary objects or apparatus. It is important to keep the doors closed from the inside with a small, easy-to-open deadbolt. The approach to the door should be free.
The evacuation of children is carried out in the building closest to the kindergarten. The most important thing is to bring the children from the upper floors of the kindergarten. The first to evacuate the smallest.
Children should be covered with wet towels or blankets, open windows in a smoky room. In the event that a fire penetrates a room, windows cannot be opened, because due to a draft there is a possibility of abundant fire.
To quickly get out of the burning room, you need to get on all fours and crawl to the exit, covering at that moment the nose and mouth with a wet cloth.
If a child’s clothes catch fire during a fire, wrap it with a wet cloth and press the cloth against the body to stop the penetration of oxygen. In no case should you use a fire extinguisher to extinguish clothing. Because of this, additional chemical burns may occur.
The search for children in the burning room is terminated only if all the premises of the kindergarten are checked.
Where is the evacuation plan
An outline fire escape plan provides added security. The plan in the kindergarten should hang on the walls of corridors and rooms in a strict sequence of places indicated on it.
Fire safety of kindergartens is constantly monitored by fire inspectors.

To ensure safety in the kindergarten group, parents must warn the teacher about the individual characteristics of each child. Each parent has the right to independently examine the group where the child is engaged, as well as the territory where the baby is walking. If inconsistencies with the established rules are found, parents can talk about this with the head of the kindergarten or apply with a collective letter to the education department.
