The history of kindergartens
The first kindergartens appeared in 1802 in Germany. At first, these were institutions where the poor sent their children in order to be able to work. The children were looked after by nannies - women from noble families who did charity work. They were not involved in teaching children as such; knowledge could be given on a case-by-case basis; nannies spent more time simply watching and caring for the children. The name “garden” was given to such institutions a little later by Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel. He explained it by saying that children are the flowers of life, and they grow in the garden, and gardeners must raise them. Well, the name stuck, and gradually preschool education itself became orderly and systematic. Previously, kindergartens were not the same as they are now, when educators give children much more knowledge, skills and abilities.
What do teachers give to children?
Now in kindergarten there are clear activities, walks, food, rest, entertainment. The teachers really give a lot to the children. It’s good that they have their own professional holiday, and it would also be nice for parents to know when Teacher’s Day is and congratulate them at least in words, thanking them for their hard work. Teachers are with children all day, teaching them how to take care of themselves, wash themselves, and dress (if their parents have not taught them). In classes they teach children what is included in the program approved by the ministry. This could be an introduction to environment, fire safety rules. Children are taught to draw, sculpt, count, distinguish colors, sounds; V senior group- read, think logically, speak out, and also prepare for writing at school. In addition, educators teach children to interact with each other, resolve conflicts and look for a way out of various situations.
