Most often, kids are divided into groups in kindergarten by age. Each age group has its own developmental characteristics. Each age has its own specificity of teaching children.
The principles of division into groups in kindergarten
The main way of recruiting groups in a preschool educational institution is by age.
Children are divided into groups in kindergarten by age
Depending on the age of children attending kindergarten, groups are divided into:
- Nursery. Children from one to two years old are taken here. At this age, the child learns to eat independently, wash hands, wash, partially dress.
- Younger ones. Toddlers from 2 to 4 years old. Educators of these groups, with the help of role-playing games, also develop kids’ memory, thinking, and speech. Younger preschoolers learn to combine objects according to similar qualities: volume, color, shape. Now they are very receptive to music, rhythm, rhyme. They are interested in listening to poems of fairy tales, songs.
- Average. They are attended by children 4-5 years old. At this age, children can already evaluate the behavior, both their own and those of their peers. They need friends and companions to play with.
- Elder. Preschoolers 5-6 years old are independent and like to take initiative. Classes with them should be cognitive and teach some new skills.
- Preparatory. Children 6-7 years old are preparing for school. They stock up on knowledge and skills that will help them learn in the first grade.
The most common way to divide babies in the garden is by age. But if a child has health problems, then a group for children with disabilities may be suitable for him. Children with hearing impairments, vision impairments, developmental delays and other features come here. Each of them requires a special approach to teaching.
Why is the method of forming garden groups by age good?
Children of the same age find it easier to find a common language. By adopting new habits from each other, they develop faster. Looking at peers, it is easier for a child to learn and learn about the world. For each age, their own teaching and developmental classes have been developed. Preschoolers can learn more information if they study in a group of peers belonging to the same age group.
Dividing children into groups by age is convenient for both adults and the children themselves. Children adapt more easily to a team of peers. If one of Sadov’s friends has learned something new, then the rest of the children do not want to lag behind. For example, putting on a hat, or tying your shoelaces. Attending such groups in kindergarten, children become independent and more self-confident.
