Groups of short-term stay in kindergarten for a child: daily regimen
For a child who finds himself in kindergarten for the first time, being with other children can be real stress. Therefore, the baby should be gradually taught to visit the institution. For this, there are groups of short-term stays in kindergarten, or abbreviated to GKP. In them, babies are without a mother for no more than 2-3 hours a day.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such groups
Many parents are intimidated by the prospect of getting into a short-term group, as if this could affect their turn in a permanent kindergarten. But this opinion is erroneous, because the GKP has nothing to do with it.
Short-term kindergarten groups help kids adapt to the team without stress.
There are many advantages to visiting such groups. First of all, here the baby adapts faster and learns to communicate with other children and adults. So when he gets into kindergarten for a full day, it won’t make him feel stressed or hysterical. In addition, parents have several hours of free time, which they can spend on their own affairs.
As a rule, the daily routine in the GKP consists of a walk, as well as creative activities.
The disadvantages include the lack of nutrition. If you enrolled the baby for those hours that fall for breakfast or lunch, then the baby will only have to watch how other guys eat, because it is forbidden to bring their own food to the kindergarten. Another disadvantage of such a visit is financial costs. Despite the short stay, parents will have to donate money for repairs and other needs of the institution, on an equal basis with everyone else.
How to get into such a group
Most parents receive a special invitation to the short stay group. But it is also possible to independently sign up for a visit. To do this, you need to contact the administration of the institution of interest, and find out if such a group works there and whether it is possible to enroll in it.
Please note that children who have reached 2 years of age are taken to the GKP.
If your candidacy is approved, then you will need to undergo a full medical examination and make all the necessary vaccinations. In addition, you should conclude an agreement with a child care institution. What things and items will be required for the GKP you will learn at the parent meeting.
Most reviews about short-stay groups say that this is a great option for parents whose babies have not yet been enrolled in a permanent place in kindergarten. Thanks to the GKP, preschoolers learn to interact with other kids, and, in addition, they gradually get used to a long stay in an institution. In addition, moms and dads have a little free time that they can spend on their own affairs.
