Kindergarten at home

Today, more and more often you can hear a reproach that, say, new thinking, born of perestroika, is manifested mainly in global phenomena: the sphere of international relations, economic reform, the development of democracy. But the approaches to the solution of more mundane, that, but vital to people problems remained the same. Perhaps there is some truth in this. The more interesting is the example, which will be discussed, which clearly shows that the numerous blinkers, taboos, notorious "downsides", so closely surrounding each initiative person during the years of stagnation, often hold today only at our own inertia. And it is worth wanting - and it turns out that to rip them off, in general, the task is quite feasible. The only bad thing is that the inertia is so painful. ..

That's what my colleague and I discussed with a photojournalist, returning from a business trip to Naberezhnye Chelny, a proposal about which at one time was perceived, to put it mildly, with bewilderment: there are so many disturbing collisions and events in the country,"kindergartens at home. ..

" Now, frankly speaking, we have not only calmed down to see the prospect. A year and a half ago the situation was very disturbing, it was just hopeless, - as if answering our thoughts, the chairman of the committee of the KamAZ trade union committee for the family and school in the education of children and adolescents S. Chernov told us. "Every year we give 5-6 childrengardens and nurseries, and the queue is growing. Last year there were nearly 24 thousand people. That is, 24 thousand families, burdened with an acute social problem. Plus, other domestic troubles, which we still have. So imagine the mood of people. ..

Where is the way out? Build more? Let's be realistic - even the mighty KamAZ can not do it. Invented children's rooms at the checkpoints. A parent who starts work later takes the child with him, leaving for one and a half to two hours in the children's room, where he is then taken away by the one who completed the shift. Mom and Dad, working in different shifts, this partially helped. Although the point here, I think, even in the practical result. It was clear that this innovation is not good for everyone and does not solve the problem. But we realized something else: we need non-standard solutions.

Without going into details, I will say that I tried many variants. And suddenly an unexpected call from the AUCCTU from an employee who, having visited Czechoslovakia, studied the experience of creating kindergartens at home and, knowing the problems of the Kama members, decided to help. Accident? I am convinced that no. Search, as they say, "a wide nonsense".Also could not find. The

Principle was deemed appropriate, and the details and conditions were developed by themselves - publicly, consulting with people through their newspaper, involving the sociological service. Considered the most extraordinary options, the benefit of the law on the state enterprise gave the team the right to independently determine the ways of "decoupling" of social nodes. However, running ahead, I will say that it was necessary to defend this right when it came to the point. Then they nearly closed those kindergartens in apartments where there was no telephone. That Goro demanded from each home garden a detailed work plan. Unexpectedly, the representative of the same AUCCTU( from another corridor. ..) tried to cover up the "amateur" activity. "

But back to the heart of the matter. The most correct thing will be for the initiators themselves to tell about it.

L. Koryakova, a former cashier of the city gortorg, and now a kindergarten teacher at home: I have four children. So there is experience. The apartment we have five-bedroom, got a husband - he works at the KamAZ Turner. She passed a medical examination, an instruction in the basic kindergarten, attestation, and entered into an agreement. The minimum period is two years. I must say, its obligations are fulfilled clearly. In the corridor hangers, lockers, heating batteries were closed with a wooden grill. In the bathroom, they made special stairs - now even the smallest ones can reach the crane. We brought in children's tables, chairs, cots - in short, everything you need. By the way, if after the contract expires, I will hesitate to work with children, the plant will make repairs in the apartment. From the base kindergarten, food is delivered on time, regular bed linen is changed regularly. "

Chairman of the children's committee of the trade union committee of the engine plant: "We are making special demands on those who decided to change their profession and become a teacher. After all, in the gardens at home we often send often sick, so-called non-sleeping children, and care for them must be the most thorough. We talk with the candidates, find out all the circumstances, ask the neighbors. In short, selection is scrupulous. "

He spoke with other educators. The opinion is one - convenient and profitable. And how do those, for whom, in fact, all this and was started?

Leading engineer: "To attach my daughter to the kindergarten, I had to work part-time as a night watchman. And what do you want me to do?. . When kindergartens arrived at home, they decided to give Masha back here. Here the home environment, each child a special attention. For all the time my daughter has never been sick. "

The cameraman: "Imagine my home, Almira misses the garden. .."

Commented L. Kupper: "Now there are 43 kindergartens at home .At the beginning of summer they were visited by 345 children. If we built a children's combine for such a number, it would cost at least 700 thousand rubles. Arrangement of all kindergartens at home required several thousand.

So the prospects for their creation are very tempting. But I think the main thing is not only in this. ..

In an ordinary kindergarten, huge, overcrowded beyond any standards of the group. Educators simply are not able to give the necessary attention to each child. For "mass" we lose the specific Petya, Masha, Sasha - as personalities. From one and a half years they are no longer Petty, Masha, and Sidorovs and Ivanovs. And in the apartment garden, where children are no more than eight or ten, the attitude to each is carefully domestic. And how important it is now, when there are so many sick, weakened kids! I am convinced that if the child is not prone to frequent illnesses until four or five years, if the nervous system is strong, then he will better prepare for the school, it is easier to adapt in the new conditions of a busy and tense educational program. "

. .. In front of me is an official certificate, which states that today more than 1.7 million children stand in line for gardens and nurseries, which are provided with seats in them only 58 percent of those in need. But my friends do not even stand in line. Their three-year-old Victoria, alas, a non-nursing child, needs a simple, but special diet, which, of course, no one will provide in the usual kindergarten. How many such children in the country!. . How many troubles for this, everyday complications and even dramas! And not only today, but also future. Who can say for sure what will turn out in adulthood neglect, oversight in early childhood?

KAMAZ experience is available to virtually every enterprise - large and small. And for those who are not able to conduct intensive construction of stationary kindergartens, it is even more suitable. After careful study, the initiative of Kama Avtozavodtsev was approved by the Presidium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, the State Labor and Social Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation and the National Education Ministry and the Ministry of Health. That is, there is support for the "tops".But without an interested initiative from below, the price to it, as we have more than once convinced, is not large. So who is next?

I do not want to hear this question rhetorically. .. The ambassadors of the enterprises visited KamAZ from Kharkov and Alma-Ata, Minsk and Ulan-Ude, Sterlitamak and Kirov, Gorky and Ulyanovsk, not to mention nearby Kazan and Almetyevsk,their trade union committees to study and implement the experience of creating kindergartens at home. I tried to find out in several cities what the results of these trips were, but only in Gorky found the desire to apply a promising innovation.

The situation, alas, is characteristic. Remember, the experience of organizing trade in Klaipeda has been a unique example for a good fifteen years. Really and at Avtozavodtsev from Naberezhnye Chelny there are no followers, interested and purposeful? I do not want to believe in it. ..
