A Children’s Thanksgiving story – The First Thanksgiving

by Nora Smith

Nearly four hundred years ago, a great
many of the people in England
were very unhappy because their king would not let them
pray to God as
they liked. The king said they must use the same prayers
that he did;
and if they would not do this, they were often thrown into
prison, or
perhaps driven away from home.

“Let us go away from this country,” said
the unhappy Englishmen to
each other; and so they left their homes, and went far
off to a
country called Holland. It was about this time that they
began to call
themselves “Pilgrims. ” Pilgrims, you know, are
people who are always
traveling to find something they love, or to find a land
where they
can be happier; and these English men and women were journeying,
they
said, “from place to place, toward heaven, their dearest
country.”

In Holland, the Pilgrims were quiet
and happy for a while, but they
were very poor; and when the children began to grow up,
they were not
like English children, but talked Dutch, like the little
ones of Holland, and some grew naughty and did not want
to go to church any
more.

“This will never do,” said
the Pilgrim fathers and mothers; so after
much talking and thinking and writing they made up their
minds to come
here to America. They hired two vessels, called the Mayflower
and the
Speedwell, to take them across the sea; but the Speedwell
was not a
strong ship, and the captain had to take her home again
before she had
gone very far.

The Mayflower went back, too. Part of the Speedwell’s
passengers were
given to her, and then she started alone across the great
ocean.

There were one hundred people on board
– mothers and fathers, brothers
and sisters and little children. They were very crowded;
it was cold
and uncomfortable; the sea was rough, and pitched the Mayflower
about,
and they were two months sailing over the water.

The children cried many times on the journey, and wished
they had
never come on the tiresome ship that rocked them so hard,
and would
not let them keep still a minute.

But they had one pretty plaything to amuse them, for in
the middle of
the great ocean a Pilgrim baby was born, and they called
him
“Oceanus,” for his birthplace. When the children
grew so tired that
they were cross and fretful, Oceanus’ mother let them come
and play
with him, and that always brought smiles and happy faces
back again.

At last the Mayflower came in sight of land; but if the
children had
been thinking of grass and flowers and birds, they must
have been very
much disappointed, for the month was cold November, and
there was
nothing to be seen but rocks and sand and hard bare ground.

Some of the Pilgrim fathers, with brave Captain Myles
Standish at
their head, went on shore to see if they could find any
houses or
white people. But they only saw some Indians, who
ran away from
them, and found some Indian huts and some corn buried in
holes in the
ground. They went to and fro from the ship three times,
till by and by
they found a pretty place to live, where there were “fields
and little
running brooks.”

Then at last all the tired Pilgrims landed from the ship
on a spot now
called Plymouth Rock, and the first house was begun on
Christmas Day.
But when I tell you how sick they were and how much they
suffered that
first winter, you will be very sad and sorry for them.
The weather was
cold, the snow fell fast and thick, the wind was icy, and
the Pilgrim
fathers had no one to help them cut down the trees and
build their
church and their houses.

The Pilgrim mothers helped all they could; but they were
tired with
the long journey, and cold, and hungry too, for no one
had the right
kind of food to eat, nor even enough of it.

So first one was taken sick, and then another, till half
of them were
in bed at the same time, Brave Myles Standish and the other
soldiers
nursed them as well as they knew how; but before spring
came half of
the people died and had gone at last to “heaven, their
dearest
country. “

But by and by the sun shone more brightly, the snow melted,
the leaves
began to grow, and sweet spring had come again.

Some friendly Indians had visited the Pilgrims during
the winter, and
Captain Myles Standish, with several of his men, had returned
the
visit.

One of the kind Indians was called Squanto, and he came
to stay with
the Pilgrims, and showed them how to plant their corn,
and their pease
and wheat and barley.

When the summer came and the days were long and bright,
the Pilgrim
children were very happy, and they thought Plymouth a lovely
place
indeed. All kinds of beautiful wild flowers grew at their
doors, there
were hundreds of birds and butterflies, and the great pine
woods were
always cool and shady when the sun was too bright.

When it was autumn the fathers gathered the barley and
wheat and corn
that they had planted, and found that it had grown so well
that they
would have quite enough for the long winter that was coming.

“Let us thank God for it all,” they said. “It
is He who has made the
sun shine and the rain fall and the corn grow.” So
they thanked God in
their homes and in their little church; the fathers and
the mothers
and the children thanked Him.

“Then,” said the Pilgrim mothers, “let
us have a great Thanksgiving
party, and invite the friendly Indians, and all rejoice
together.”

So they had the first Thanksgiving party, and a grand
one it was! Four
men went out shooting one whole day, and brought back so
many wild
ducks and geese and great wild turkeys that there was enough
for
almost a week. There was deer meat also, of course, for
there were
plenty of fine deer in the forest. Then the Pilgrim mothers
made the
corn and wheat into bread and cakes, and they had fish
and clams from
the sea besides.

The friendly Indians all came with their chief Massasoit.
Every one
came that was invited, and more, I dare say, for there
were ninety of
them altogether.

They brought five deer with them, that they gave to the
Pilgrims; and
they must have liked the party very much, for they stayed
three days.

Kind as the Indians were, you would have been very much
frightened if
you had seen them; and the baby Oceanus, who was a year
old then,
began to cry at first whenever they came near him.

They were dressed in deerskins, and some of them had the
furry coat of
a wild cat hanging on their arms. Their long black hair
fell loose on
their shoulders, and was trimmed with feathers or fox-tails.
They had
their faces painted in all kinds of strange ways, some
with black
stripes as broad as your finger all up and down them. But
whatever
they wore, it was their very best, and they had put it
on for the
Thanksgiving party.

Each meal, before they ate anything, the Pilgrims and
the Indians
thanked God together for all his goodness. The Indians
sang and danced
in the evenings, and every day they ran races and played
all kinds of
games with the children.

Then sometimes the Pilgrims with their guns, and the Indians
with
their bows and arrows, would see who could shoot farthest
and best. So
they were glad and merry and thankful for three whole days.

The Pilgrim mothers and fathers had been sick and sad
many times since
they landed from the Mayflower; they had worked very hard,
often had
not had enough to eat, and were mournful indeed when their
friends
died and left them. But now they tried to forget all this,
and think
only of how good God had been to them; and so they all
were happy
together at the first Thanksgiving party.

All this happened nearly four hundred years ago, and ever
since that
time Thanksgiving has been kept in our country.

Every year our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers
have
“rejoiced together” like the Pilgrims, and have
had something to be
thankful for each time.

Every year some father has told the story of the brave
Pilgrims to his
little sons and daughters, and has taught them to be very
glad and
proud that the Mayflower came sailing to our country so
many years
ago.

How to tell the true story to kids

Most people hear the story of Thanksgiving from a young age and it’s pretty simple. A group of Pilgrims, fleeing religious persecution, sail to North American and settle on Plymouth Rock. After a hard winter, they celebrate a successful harvest with their new neighbors, Native Americans. Everybody’s grateful; the end.

But that’s only half the story. The Wampanoag tribe, the Indigenous people who lived at Plymouth Rock, experienced this moment very differently. Are your kids ready to hear the real history? The answer is probably yes.

“Parents can start by telling their kids the truth and offering their children the more complex narrative. Kids are smart and capable of understanding,” Matika Wilbur of the Swinomish and Tulalip tribes told TODAY Parents. She co-hosts the podcast All My Relations, which aired an episode called “Thanksgiving or Thankstaking?” that aims to understand the Wampanoag perspective.

“Thanksgiving is rooted in a historical fallacy,” Wilbur said, and the story is tied to the idea of white supremacy. “The main Pilgrim narrative coincides with colonization that was inherently oppressive and brutal. ”

Parents might balk at introducing the “real history” to their children because they think their children can’t handle it. But that’s not giving them enough credit, Wilbur said.

The backstory of Thanksgiving

Wilbur — who traveled to over 400 Tribal Nations for her documentary Project 562 — and her co-host Adrienne Keene, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation who is an assistant professor of American Studies and Ethic Studies at Brown University, spoke with Paula Peters and Linda Coombs, Wampanoag historical scholars, for the episode.

Peters said sharing the Wampanoag perspective is essential but can be tough for parents.

“It’s difficult because we have to talk about some raw topics in order to get a fuller, clearer understanding,” Peters, a citizen of Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and a researcher and journalist, told TODAY Parents. “Quite honestly, cherry picking that moment when the Wampanoag and Puritans happen to break bread as the ‘Kumbaya’ moment really does not do it any justice. The Wampanoag have been marginalized and forgotten and the back story is so incredibly critical for what ultimately happens.”

Prior to the Pilgrims landing, the Wampanoag had experienced a plague that devastated their community. A “plague” is something Peters thinks children can certainly understand these days.

“This is all (relevant) right now,” she said. “Think of what we (had) to say to our children, why they can’t go to school and parents can’t go to work — to protect our elders.”

She says how parents share information with their children is “very personal” but believes they should introduce Indigenous history early and encourage their children to think critically about what they read. The Wampanoag people did not rush out to welcome the newly arrived Puritans, for example. They took months to observe them.

“Being able to talk about the true trepidation that the Wampanoag had with forging a relationship (is important),” she said. “It wasn’t like new neighbors moved in. It was very different.”

Children definitely get what it’s like meeting someone new who seems unlike them.

“That is a creative and personal way to make it clear … You get a new neighbor next door. They don’t speak your language. They don’t go to the same church. They do everything differently,” Peters said. “How are you going to engage with these people? These were all questions the Wampanoag leader had to ask himself.”

The Wampanoag Tribe also knew that other people who were like the Pilgrims had raided their food supplies in the past, so they felt wary.

“What if you had a new neighbor that moved in and the first thing they did was take your cereal and Cracker Jack and not even leave a note?” she said. “These were new neighbors who came on the same kinds of ships that would have stolen from their fathers, their cousins, their uncles.”

Who was ‘Squanto’ and how did he know English?

Another part of the story that parents can encourage their children to think deeply about is that role of Tisquantum, aka Squanto, who served as a liaison because he spoke English.

“We all had this story of the Mayflower and Plymouth colony and wasn’t it wonderful that they came and they met with Squanto and he spoke perfect English?” Peters said. “Children are going to question, ‘Well, how did he learn to speak English?’”

That’s a natural place to add more information. “Squanto” had been kidnapped by European settlers and held captive as a slave years earler.

“The answer to that involves all of those other things, being kidnapped, the plague,” she said. “Those parts of the stories are very tragic.”

There are few books by Indigenous writers for children looking at the history of Thanksgiving, Peters said. And, Wilbur said only a handful of states — including Montana, Washington, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Mexico and New York — mandate Indigenous history in the curriculum. Parents can reference these curricula online or turn to something like the Smithsonian’s Native Knowledge 360º Education Initiative for resources.

“It should be in the schools,” Peters said.

How to learn more about Native American history

Peters participated in Plymouth 400, the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing. The website and events includes Wampanoag history. Parents can explore this and the British sister project Mayflower 400 to learn more.

“There was a great interest worldwide in learning the true story,” she said. “We were a little bit nervous: ‘Would they really hear us?’ In the past there has been a history of not interpreting what we say properly.”

But people did want to listen.

“I was really surprised by how welcome it was,” Peters said.

And, Wilbur saidAll My Relations will be hosting an anti-racism book club in its third season.

“That’s definitely something parents could follow along with,” she said.

Peters suggests that families who want to learn more start by learning the Indigenous history of where they are. You can look on this map to see what Native American tribe lived where you live now.

“The very first thing they can do is acknowledge where they live,” she said. “Just understanding where you are and whose ancestral land it is and just asking the hard questions about history.”

Wilbur agrees.

“The path to reconciliation begins with developing relationships with the Native people whose land we occupy. Everywhere in North America has an Indigenous history and story, and there are still Indigenous people living here,” she said.”There is an opportunity to build relationships with Indigenous people and support their cause.”

And families who want to do more can do more, while perhaps creating new traditions.

“They could become an ally to Indigenous communities by supporting their causes, either with donated time or money,” Wilbur said. “Thanksgiving allows all of us to evaluate how we are being of service to community, so rather than centering what I’m grateful for once a year, we could ask ourselves, ‘How we are expressing that gratitude in a way that gives back?’”

History of MBDOU -Information for parents

WE HAVE A GLORIOUS HISTORY, A WORTHY PRESENT AND PROMISING FUTURE!

The history of the development and formation of our preschool educational institution dates back to 1985 of the last century.

March 8… We celebrate this day as a holiday for mothers, grandmothers and all women. And, it so happened that the concepts of “holiday” and “gift” have become in principle inseparable. Probably, this is exactly what the administration of the Shakhty branch of the Novocherkassk Electric Transport Engineering Plant (ZETM) in Shakhty reasoned when they gave their workers an invaluable gift – March 5, 1985 was put into operation nursery-kindergarten No. 75 “Zhuravushka” Shakhty.

Elena Ivanovna Komolova was appointed head of the nursery.

In the 1990s, the system of teaching six-year-olds was tested in the country. A new type of institution has emerged, carrying out the continuity of preschool and elementary levels. The existing conditions made it possible to open an experimental first class on the basis of a nursery garden in 1987 for teaching children from 6 years old.

Along with this, in order to experiment in raising children at home, having studied the experience of the Kama plant in creating home-based nursery-kindergartens and, having agreed on the issue of opening a nursery-kindergarten at home with the administration of the plant, the kindergarten staff took part in organizing kindergarten branch. For its functioning, a two-room section was equipped in a working factory dormitory. In October 1989, the nursery-garden at home began its activities. The Sumshchenko family was engaged in raising children. In total, 10 children aged from 2.5 to 7 years were brought up here. This nursery-garden at home, a branch of kindergarten No. 75, has been successfully operating for more than three years.

In 1993, due to a sharp deterioration in the economic situation of the plant, kindergarten No. 75 was closed. In April 1994, the nursery garden was transferred to the municipal ownership of the city and since September 1994 it has completely resumed its work.

Since 1998, the municipal preschool educational institution has been headed by the head, “Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation” Padashul Nelli Viktorovna.

Profound transformations in the social, economic and socio-cultural spheres of life of our city, as well as the whole country as a whole, had a great influence on the further development of the kindergarten.

The teaching staff of the preschool institution got the opportunity to independently determine the content component of education, use new technologies, programs, which required the development of a new concept and development program for the institution itself.

Understanding the complexity of this issue and the need for scientific guidance, since 1995, the preschool educational institution has been cooperating with the Department of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology of the Rostov State Pedagogical University.

Thanks to close interaction with the candidate of pedagogical sciences, professor L.V. Kompantseva, the kindergarten team enters into a mode of experimental work, which determined new prospects for the development of a preschool institution.

Scientific and practical seminar at preschool educational institution No. 75
(second from the right – Ph.D., Professor of the Russian State Pedagogical University L. V. Kompantseva)

V. Padashul conducted scientific research on the problem of developing the artistic and creative abilities of children. The role and significance of this research in the development of pedagogical science and practice, the main theoretical and methodological provisions are reflected in a number of books by leading scientists of the Russian Federation:

Kazakova T.G. Theory and methodology for the development of children’s fine arts: a textbook for university students studying in the specialties “Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology”, “Pedagogy and Methods of Preschool Education”. M.: Humanitarian publishing center VLADOS, 2006. pp.15-16., 206-209.;

Kompantseva L.V. Innovative activities of preschool educational institutions to ensure the quality of art education. Scientific and methodological manual. Rostov-on-Don; Bulat, 2008., p.110-123.;

are awarded by A.M. Strauning, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences. (j. “Preschool education” No. 11/1997, p. 29):

are included in the Program of artistic and pedagogical practice in the specialty “Pedagogy and methods of preschool education” -031100, RSPU, Rostov-on-Don, 1997.

The teaching staff supported the ideas of their leader. Innovative activity prompted the creative group of the kindergarten to determine the development paths that are consonant with the interests, training, and professional competence of each teacher participating in it.

On the basis of a preschool institution, a model of an artistic and creative complex (CTC) is being developed, consisting of several interconnected components in which various areas of the pedagogical process are carried out – familiarization with cultural values, accumulation of social experience, search, cognitive, artistic, communicative activities of children .

In the artistic and creative complex of the preschool educational institution, the process of cultural identification of the individual is created and implemented, the epicenter of which is the child as a free subject of life creation.

The developing content of children’s activities, the introduction of new technologies of education and development, provide a student-oriented interaction of all subjects of the pedagogical process.

Developed by the head of the preschool educational institution Padashul N.V. and aimed at developing the artistic and creative abilities of older preschoolers, the author’s program “Flower-Semitsvetik” was tested, introduced into the educational process of kindergartens in the city and region, published by decision of the editorial and publishing department of the Rostov State Pedagogical University in the methodological guide for educators “Search. Initiative. Creativity. – Mines: RSPU.1996, as well as in the journal “Preschool education” No. 2, 1999. – P.6 – 16.

children in general.

The experimental experience of the kindergarten on this issue was presented at the regional scientific and practical conference “Modern problems of preschool education in the South Russian region on the way to the XX I century”, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Z. V. Lishtvan and the 70th anniversary of the Russian State Pedagogical University (Rostov-on-Don), on the pages of the Russian journal “Preschool Education” , in the collections of scientific papers of the Rostov State Pedagogical University, widely studied and implemented in the work of kindergartens in Rostov, Volgograd , Voronezh Region, Krasnodar and Krasnoyarsk Territories, as well as in the work of kindergartens in neighboring countries – Ukraine and Georgia.

In 2001 for the first time in the history of preschool education in the Rostov Region and the North Caucasus District, the head of a preschool educational institution, Padashul Nelli Viktorovna, was awarded a degree – Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences.

In January 2001, according to the results of state certification and accreditation, the kindergarten was assigned the high status of the Child Development Center , which was successfully confirmed during the next certification of preschool educational institutions in 2005.

Working in depth on the problem of teaching preschoolers the rules of the road, the staff of the preschool institution in the 2004-2005 academic year became the winner of the All-Russian review competition of educational institutions on the prevention of children’s road traffic injuries.

In 2009, on the basis of a preschool institution, regional seminar was held for traffic police officers to sum up the results of the regional review competition “We will protect you, baby!” (the photo report of the seminar was presented on the pages of the regional newspaper “Avtodon” No. 15 (397) dated April 22, 2009). The kindergarten became the absolute winner of in three nominations in the regional competition “We will protect you, baby!”

Until now, the kindergarten annually wins prizes in this area in municipal and regional competitions.

In 2017 the kindergarten became the winner in the regional competition “Journey to the Land of Road Signs”, in the nomination “For the best thematic Internet page on road safety” (as part of the implementation of the “Decade of Action to Ensure Road Safety 2015-2020” program).

Over the years of existence of the preschool educational institution, one of the unique traditions of the educational institution has developed in the team – the need for continuous improvement.

Being in a real professional and creative search, preschool teachers work out the optimal conditions for the full development of preschoolers.

Kindergarten teachers take part in All-Russian, regional and municipal show jumping. In different years, they were attended by:

• educator Golendukhina N.A. – winner “Best Pedagogical Worker

preschool education of the Rostov region”,

• educators Prokopenko A.A., Boyko G.B. – 1st place in the regional competition for traffic rules “We are

“We will protect you, baby!”,

• A.K.

activities of psychologists’ offices in preschool educational institutions, early

in teaching a foreign language, awarded with a silver medal in the All-Russian

competition of innovative ideas and projects for teaching, educating and developing children Diploma of the laureate in

All-Russian competition of original ideas, promising initiatives “Vocation-educator”

• educators Kurdupova L. V., Orlova A.V., Liguta N.V., Prokopenko A.A. – Participants of the city competition “Teacher of the Year”.

The administration of the preschool educational institution has always sought and created conditions for the search work and scientific research of teachers: opening an experimental site on the basis of a preschool institution; development and approbation of copyright and variational programs; participation in scientific and practical conferences, seminars, publication of articles in collections, journals.

In 2012, MBDOU No. 75 completed work in the status of municipal experimental site on the problem: Pedagogical innovations and the organization of their implementation in the activities of the preschool educational institution as a means of its development (Order of the Department of Education of the Administration of the City of Shakhty No. 558 of November 19, 2009 “On the assignment and confirmation of the status of the municipal experimental site of the OS in the city of Shakhty”).

Based on the materials of the experimental work, together with the Pedagogical Institute of the Southern Federal University, , a methodological collection “Pedagogical innovations in the activities of preschool educational institutions as a means of its development” was published / L.V. Kompantseva, N.V. Padashul. (Rostov-on-Don-Shakhty, 2009.).

Work experience of a preschool institution is included in all-Russian project 2012-2013 “School of the Digital Age”.

According to the results of work on the ecological development of preschoolers, the kindergarten was awarded by the Mayor of Shakhty The badge of honor “For the purity of native nature.”

In 2015, scientific and experimental work was completed on the problem “Peculiarities of the development of the cognitive and emotional sphere of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a situation of semantic initiations”, carried out in 2013-2015. teacher-psychologist MBDOU, postgraduate student of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “Southern Federal University” Mazina A.K., under the guidance of Doctor of Psychological Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Education Abakumova I.V.

As a result of the work carried out, the following tasks were solved:

– a study was made of the development of behavioral and emotional characteristics in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in senior preschool age in a situation of semantic initiation;

– the latest empirical research on the origin of the development and correction of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in preschool children was studied;

– a diagnostic system was developed and tested for collecting psychological anamnesis about the manifestation and origin of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children of the main and risk groups;

– a correctional and developmental program was developed and experimentally tested, stimulating semantic initiations for children of senior preschool age with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Orientation to success, high emotional saturation of classes, constant reliance on interest, fostering a sense of responsibility – all this had a positive effect in the psychocorrection of the behavior of hyperactive children, a more complete disclosure of creative abilities, the development of self-awareness and self-esteem of the child, which undoubtedly helped to provide equal opportunities for the full development of each student.

In 2014, the teaching staff received a letter of thanks from the Department of Psychology of the Southern Federal University for fruitful cooperation on the problem of psychological support for older preschool children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which ensure the effectiveness of psychocorrection of the behavior of a hyperactive child.

In June 2014, the experience of the kindergarten on the problem “Development of the communicative competence of a preschool child as one of the conditions for the implementation of GEF DO” was presented at the Interregional scientific and practical conference “Resources for the development of the educational environment of preschool educational institutions in the context of the implementation of Federal State Educational Standards preschool education “(Materials of the interregional scientific and practical conference on June 26-28, 29014 –Zlatoust-Moscow, pp. 13-16).

In the same 2014, due to the long queue of children for admission to the preschool educational institution, a major reconstruction of the physioblock of the institution was carried out, as a result of which an additional 20 places were opened for preschool children . Another group began to function in the kindergarten.

One of the important pages in the history of the institution is the interaction with the GBU DPO RO “Rostov Institute for Advanced Studies and Professional Retraining of Educational Workers”.

The result of this cooperation was the organization of innovative activities of the preschool educational institution, in the status of the regional innovative experimental site for testing and implementing the main general educational program “World of Discovery”, which was assigned to a preschool institution by Order of the Ministry of Education of the Rostov Region dated April 16, 2013 No. 267.

Under the guidance of L.V. Bekh, scientific consultant, candidate of pedagogical sciences, senior methodologist of the department of preschool and primary education of the RIPK and PPRO, the process of updating the content, forms, methods of working with children, teachers and parents was carried out in a preschool institution.

Changing the form and content of the activities of the DOW, in our understanding, this is an objective-observant process that is a response to time challenges, a change in childhood model, a sharp acceleration of scientific and technological progress, expanding the role of information and cmmic technologies, global requirements for the transition from accumulation knowledge to the formation of competencies.

The desire of teachers to interest parents, to involve them in the experiment, to make them their assistants, was rewarded by increased activity of parents during parent meetings, joint events for children. So, on one of the sunny April days of 2015, in the kindergarten, in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, the action “ Victory Lilac. The veteran of the Great Patriotic War S.N. Dolgopolov was the guest of honor of this extraordinary holiday.

Children with special diligence planted lilac seedlings. Parents did not stand aside either – fathers and mothers unanimously helped young patriots. And as a wish for the future, the words of Vladik Mazin’s grandfather sounded: “Let our children grow up, and this lilac planted by their hands in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, and let them enjoy spring and a peaceful sky every year!”

One of my favorites was doing rhythmic gymnastics after sleep, together with my parents, during which A.I. Burenina’s program “Rhythmic Mosaic” was implemented.

When conducting experimental work on testing and implementing the World of Discovery program, in-depth attention was paid to the integration of basic and additional education, while new tasks were identified not only to improve the quality of educational services, but also to meet the needs of parents in an increased level of education children, the maximum satisfaction of the requirements of the school for the future student.

As a result, the regional components of preschool education have expanded, new narrow specialists (choreographer) have been introduced to the staff of the preschool institution, which made it possible to include new subjects, integrated classes in the curriculum, to search for organizational and content aspects of the activities of teachers in possible models of interaction based on competence orientation of preschool education as one of the conditions for the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard.

The main result of the activities of the MBDOU was the mastering by the pupils of the MBDOU a set of competencies – integrative personal characteristics that determine the child’s ability to solve a variety of available life tasks.

In April 2016, at the Interregional Scientific and Practical Conference “Implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard: Problems and Prospects for the Implementation of the Educational Program of Preschool Education” World of Discovery “(Rostov-on-Don) with the report “Educational program as a basic basis organization of an integrated educational process in the preschool educational institution “, the head of MBDOU No. 75 Padashul N.V. In May of the same year, she presented the work experience “Innovative educational model of a modern preschool educational institution in the conditions of the Federal State Educational Standard of Education” for regional seminar-meeting at the Rostov Institute for Advanced Studies and Professional Retraining of Education Workers.

The organization and implementation of innovative activities in the pedagogical practice of preschool educational institutions have always been considered by the teaching staff as a huge potential for improving the quality of education.

For several decades, MBDOU TsRR No. 75 has been a pilot (base) educational institution of the city in the artistic and aesthetic direction.

On the basis of a preschool institution, city methodological associations, scientific and practical seminars for teachers and specialists of kindergartens in the city and region are constantly held at a high professional level.

The experience of innovative work of the MBDOU Central District Hospital No. 75 of the Shakhty on the problem of “System Management of Innovation Processes in the Preschool Educational Institution” was represented by the head of the MBDOU No. 75, Schakhty Padashul N.V. at III All-Russian Congress workers of preschool education , held in 2013 in Moscow (magazine “Modern preschool education” No. 8 (40) / 2013.).

In October 2016, the head of the preschool educational institution Padashul N.V. – Delegate of the IV All-Russian Congress of Preschool Education Workers.

One of the most memorable events of this forum was the meeting with Veraksa Nikolai Evgenievich – Doctor of Psychology, Professor, Rector of the Moscow Pedagogical Academy of Preschool Education, author of the program “From birth to school”, according to which our preschool institution works

In November 2015, the results of the I V All-Russian Educational Forum “School of the Future: Problems and Prospects for the Development of Modern Education in Russia” were summed up. As part of the forum, an independent public council, which included the chairman and representatives of the State Duma Committee on Science and High Technologies, held a competition among institutions of preschool education in the Russian Federation.

According to the results of the All-Russian competition kindergarten was awarded: Laureate diploma and gold medal “100 best preschool educational institutions in Russia”, head Padashul N.V. – Diploma of the winner in the nomination “Person of the Year” and the Badge of Honor “Head of the Year -2015”.

According to the results of the regional competition “Kindergartens for Children” our preschool institution in April 2016 became a silver medalist in the nomination “The Best Municipal Kindergarten of the Rostov Region”.

The competition was held with the support of the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov region, the Rostov regional branch of the United Russia Party in order to identify, support and disseminate innovative experience, determine the best kindergartens, as well as effectively working teaching and management teams of the preschool education system in the Rostov region.

The nomination “The best municipal kindergarten in the Rostov region”, according to the Regulations of the competition (No. 02.9.-207 of 12.23.2015), was aimed at identifying municipal MBDEIs that successfully implement innovative mechanisms for the modernization of municipal systems that provide affordable high-quality preschool education in conditions for the introduction of GEF DO.

The experience of the kindergarten was presented by at various international, regional, regional conferences, published in a number of various scientific collections and teaching aids for educators.

The achievements of the team of teachers and children of Preschool Educational Institution No. 75 were marked by numerous certificates, letters of thanks and diplomas of various levels.

This became possible because, in our understanding, a modern kindergarten is one where harmony reigns: professionalism and science, work and rest, search and discovery.

Analyzing the work of the institution, the conclusion can be traced – the institution is not just functioning, but actively developing, which can be seen in all areas of the institution.

Throughout its history, the kindergarten team has been actively involved in the life of the Frunze village, where the kindergarten is located – this includes annual work on the improvement of the park, and the holding of environmental campaigns “Plant your flower”, “Clean morning”, and participation in concerts programs and competitions, both village and city, taking place in the park

All this so that each of our pupils can proudly say: “My small Motherland is the village of Frunze. City of Shakhty.

In 2015 the kindergarten celebrated its 30th anniversary. In honor of this event , a mountain ash alley was laid. Our guys named it – Friendship Alley. Why Friendship? Yes, because these fragile rowan seedlings were planted by graduates of our kindergarten, together with graduates of secondary school No. 14. And this is also a symbol of friendship and continuity between kindergarten and school.

Now 30 mountain ash, donated by the director of the trade enterprise R. Dallari, and planted by the thirtieth anniversary graduation of children, will decorate the entrance to the kindergarten.

In August 2016, the kindergarten team, following the results of the city competition “Blossoming City”, was awarded a Certificate of Honor for winning the nomination “The most landscaped territory of an educational institution”.

Today MBDOU No. 75 is an educational institution of a modern type with established traditions and introducing innovative scientific achievements, which has been awarded the status of a municipal methodological resource center by the Ministry of General and Vocational Education of the Rostov Region. The kindergarten is a base of excellence for teachers of preschool institutions in the city and the Rostov region.

Our mission is to bring together the preschool educational institution and the family to create an environment that reveals the individuality of each child and contributes to the formation of competencies that will ensure his success today and in the future.

Kindergarten is really the first stage of education. It is the development of the child, his familiarization with culture, the development of intelligence, the protection and promotion of health. It is here that our future, the future of our Russia, is being laid.

THE FUTURE STARTS TODAY!

MEETING WITH LOVE, SEEING OFF WITH PRIDE!

90,000 History from 1975 to today

History of any team, any enterprise, including kindergarten, consists of the fate, life and labor paths of people, dedicated to the upbringing of children.

At the end of the distant year 1975, nursery school No. 53 was formed on the basis of the State Committee for Agricultural Engineering. He invested a lot of strength, energy, labor and love in creating a nursery garden.
Directly nursery-kindergarten No. 53 belonged to the Syktyvkar Rayselkhoztekhnika. The manager was Pavel Evaldovich Gromov. He paid great attention to the nursery garden, helped in all matters, acquired modern equipment.
The first workers entered the new nursery. According to the teacher Timashkova Tatyana Semyonovna: “Before the opening of the kindergarten, the entire teaching staff worked in the pedagogical office. The cabinet was replenished with hand-made manuals. Produced didactic material and teaching aids. From candy wrappers they cut out counting material for mathematics classes, drew posters, plot pictures for classes on the development of speech and acquaintance with the outside world. They designed albums on the topics: seasons, professions, etc.”
On March 1, 1976, children’s voices sounded in a new large and comfortable house.
A very responsible and conscientious specialist, Raisa Ivanovna Rozova, was offered to head the preschool institution. She ran the nursery from 1976 to March 1994.

The teachers Elizaveta Panteleymonovna Kozlova and Galina Mikhailovna Belozerova came to work with her in the new nursery-kindergarten.

It was these people: young, energetic and literate, with advanced pedagogical views, with an active life position, who set an example for their colleagues for many years.

The nursery-garden lived a bright, creative, active life, accepted more and more new pupils. Conferences and meetings were regularly held on the basis of the nursery-garden. Every year, students of the Syktyvkar Pedagogical College No. 2 underwent pedagogical practice. Many high-level public events were shown for students of the Institute for Teacher Development courses.

At that time, the kindergarten was the base for labor education. In the manual labor room, wooden toys were made, they were engaged in weaving (M.A. Punegova and L.F. Bykovskaya) and embroidery (L.A. Kazanova). Ms. Bowman took with her to Holland gifts made by the hands of kindergarten workers and children.
In the guest book, which is still kept in the kindergarten, Mrs. Bowman left an entry: “To all the children and their teachers, I want to say that I really enjoyed visiting the kindergarten. Thanks a lot for all the gifts. I am glad that I can show these souvenirs in Holland. Thank you for the welcome and welcome.”

On June 26-29, 1979, they took courses for nurses-educators of children’s institutions.

In October 1979, republican courses for heads, which were attended by heads of kindergartens in Vorkuta, Ukhta, Inta, Pechory.

October 1, 1982, leaving Syktyvkar, mother Kizikevich V.V. wrote a letter of thanks to the kindergarten: “Leaving Syktyvkar, I want to thank everyone who has invested in my child. This is, first of all, Rudy Tamara Anatolyevna. She accompanied us from the junior to the preparatory group. This is a teacher called “master”, finally, a sweet, beautiful woman, with whom it was pleasant to meet every day. Thanks to Tatyana Semyonovna Timashkova – she quickly won the love of my son. All these years, the high methodological potential of the kindergarten, good technical equipment, as well as the goodwill of all employees attracted attention.

With deep respect, veteran A.P. Danilova. Thank you for your hospitality”.

On March 12, 1988, a conference was held for parents on the moral upbringing of children.
For many years, kindergarten was considered the base for physical education. We were the first in the republic to start physical education classes on the street. It was 1977. Galina Alekseevna, an energetic teacher Chernykh, began this work. How many difficulties there were with the selection of clothes and shoes, but the educators, together with their parents, overcame these difficulties. Children love the cold season for physical education and sports. This experience was heard at many republican events. The kindergarten worked under the motto: “If you can sit, don’t lie down; if you can stand, don’t sit; if you can run, don’t walk!” The work of Chernykh Galina Alekseevna was continued by an energetic sports worker – Lubova Margarita Vyacheslavovna.

From April 1994 to January 2009, the kindergarten worked under the direction of Galina Nikolaevna Sidorova. From the first days, she began to enjoy respect and authority in the team and among her parents. She gave all her strength to work, skillfully managed the kindergarten. Under her leadership, a friendly and energetic team has developed. The teachers and all employees of the kindergarten worked with enthusiasm. Strengthened material and technical base of the kindergarten.

Since 1999, physical education and health work with children has become an officially documented priority in the activities of the kindergarten.

The search for the effectiveness of measures aimed at recovery is of paramount importance. The teaching staff developed and implemented recreational activities aimed at improving the health of children, reducing morbidity, creating a need for a healthy lifestyle, rational organization of the daily routine, stimulating optimal physical activity, and creating a reasonable hardening system.

Since January 2009, the kindergarten has been headed by Svetlana Pavlovna Kosareva, a young, energetic and proactive leader who boldly introduces new technologies. Under the leadership of Svetlana Pavlovna, the kindergarten operates in a mode of effective development, where at every step one feels care for the child, his health and a happy future. To ensure the quality and accessibility of preschool education, short-stay groups have been created, the educational process is being improved taking into account the requirements of the time, and the material and technical base is being strengthened. Employees, children and parents of the kindergarten actively participate in city, republican, federal competitions of artistic, aesthetic, sports, intellectual and scientific orientations. On the basis of the kindergarten, students of the Pedagogical College named after Kuratov annually practice. PEI teachers share their experience with students of the State Autonomous Educational Establishment (PC) SRK “KRIRO”.
Since January 1, 2011, the kindergarten has become an autonomous institution, and these are new opportunities and prospects for the effective functioning of the institution.

discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

How they are brought up in the Netherlands: “Freedom of choice, and no lisping”

our mothers abroad
April 10, 2018

About kindergartens, schools and socialization of children in Amsterdam.

Anna Abrosimova has been living in Holland since 1991, she left with her parents after graduating from high school. Anya is raising her daughter Nika, 4.5 years old, who was born in Amsterdam.

Children in the Netherlands are involved in the educational system as early as possible.

Early socialization is practical

The Netherlands is a country constantly arguing with one of the most changeable elements – water. Half of the country is below sea level, so water for local residents is both a helper and a threat. It is this controversy that they like to explain the nature of relationships in society. To live in such a geography and with such a capricious neighbor, it is useful to be pragmatic, compromise, cooperate and involve others in the solution of any issue. Such involvement in the system presupposes, first of all, the early socialization of children.

Another reason for early socialization is the diversity of Amsterdam society, where people of 180 nationalities live. So that no one feels that they know the language worse than others, and so that all children are approximately equally prepared for their future independent life in Holland, they are involved in the educational system as early as possible.

Among the household rules for children are: “be kind and nice within the family”, “do not lie” and “do not use foul language”.

In the provinces, the situation is somewhat different, but in general the system is common for the whole country. A child is considered obligated to study from the age of 5 to 16. In Amsterdam, from the age of 2.5, a child must go to kindergarten or spend at least four times a week for about 2.5-3 hours a day in the so-called “preschool”.
Children go to primary school from the age of 4, immediately the day after their birthday. About a week before starting elementary school, the child comes to his future class for half a day to look around, get to know the teacher and classmates.

How children are brought up

If earlier children integrated into the lives of adults, now children dictate their own rules to their parents. I think this is a growing global trend. Otherwise, children in Holland are treated almost like adults. They don’t wrap them up, they don’t wipe their snot, they don’t lisp with them, they practically don’t force anything, they don’t stuff them with food.
Children are allowed to choose their own clothes. They let them go for a walk in different socks and boots, in any outfit that they inventively picked up from their wardrobe, and even in pajamas. They talk with children, negotiate and establish a few simple but unshakable rules. Among the most important household rules are: “be kind and nice within the family”, “do not lie” and “do not use foul language”.

Responsibilities for the care and upbringing of children are divided between parents almost equally. And dads with a stroller in the zoo, on the playground, in the pool, in the theater or dads carrying children on a bicycle, you meet no less than moms.

Kindergartens – only private

Parents choose a school very responsibly, visiting at least three to five schools on open days. In Amsterdam, one in five residents attend an educational institution, and most of them attend a primary school. The principle of walking distance to schools applies here, where children study from 4 to 12 years old. That is, the primary school should be located at a distance of about one kilometer from the child’s home.

On a special municipal website, by postal code, it is easy to determine the list of schools where you can enroll on a pre-emptive basis. An added benefit is attending an appropriate preschool or having an older sibling who is already in primary school. Younger children automatically go to schools where older ones study.

Younger children are automatically enrolled in schools attended by older children. There are no state kindergartens and nurseries in the country.

There are private (paid) and public schools. But there are no state kindergartens and nurseries in the country. There are many private ones, and the level of payment depends on the income of the parents. Parents with low incomes or single parents receive a variety of subsidies. Maternity leave for mothers – 3 months.

Grandparents take part in the life of their grandchildren, but help no more than 1-2 days a week. Primary school hours are from 8:15 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays, except on Wednesdays when the school closes at 1:00 pm. How do Dutch mothers solve the problem? They often go part-time or work 4 days a week. In addition, parents resort to the services of a paid extension, nannies, or – less often and not regularly – the help of parents of classmates.

If a child wants to go to school in winter in shorts and flip flops, they often let him go.

Kindergarten and elementary school

The child’s interest in elementary school and his happy stay in it is supported by a turbulent social life outside of it. Children early begin to agree on trips to visit each other. And the parents who pick them up often return home with not one, but two children.

There is no strict uniform program in the first classes of elementary school. I will tell you a little more about the first and second groups of elementary school. There are children from 4 to 6 years old. The number of children in a group at the beginning of the school year can be 15-17 children and grow to 26-29 by the end of the year. Children enter school the day after their birthday. As a rule, one teacher “leads” the children for two years.

In the classroom, children of different ages and abilities receive different tasks.

They teach school material not within the framework of subjects, but by topic. City, space, Easter, “spring fever”. In the lessons, children of different ages and different abilities receive different tasks and study at their own level. A lot of time is devoted to learning in the game. Children are given time to find solutions, the right to fail, they are allowed to make mistakes, choose their own activities, toys and games.

Once a week, usually on Wednesdays, is Toy Day, i.e. each child can bring their own toy to school, come dressed as Superman, Easter Bunny, Dragon, etc. Children are required to go for a walk in almost any weather. If a five-year-old child claims that he is hot and wants to go to school in shorts and flip flops in the winter, then he is often let go. Freeze – get dressed. Hungry – eat.

In Holland, it is considered reckless waste to buy expensive or even new clothes for children, because they grow up so fast. Therefore, shops and online platforms selling used clothes and shoes are popular. A child in a sweater three sizes too large, torn socks and a jacket from his older brother’s shoulder is a common sight in the schoolyard. Children sit and lie on the floor, on the ground, on stones. Toddlers are taught to put on jackets, which they throw in front of them on the floor or on the ground, and then put on in one motion, passing both hands through the sleeves.

Primary school should be comfortable, safe and fun, as the Dutch say.

Food at school is also treated lightly. Breakfast and lunch are sandwiches. With marmalade, jam, peanut butter, soft cheese. Hot breakfasts and lunches are the luxury of the weekend.

The teacher can bring her dog to class once a week for the whole day, with which the children actively and in their own way communicate.
Not everywhere, but many schools have a “cool soft toy”. A bear, a bunny or a donkey who spends every weekend with another child from the class. The toy goes to visit for the weekend with a diary, where text, photos and pictures taken together by the child and parents reflect the joint pastime. Primary school should be comfortable, safe and fun, as they say in Holland.

Preschool institutions and kindergartens in the Netherlands

Updated 01. 06.2022

Views 1017

If you live in the Netherlands, here is a guide for children and preschool education ( liver ) in the Netherlands.

Many Dutch women return to work after their statutory maternity leave ends – usually 10-12 weeks after the birth of a child – and childcare in the Netherlands is very extensive. Partou Daycare, one of the most popular chains of child care centers in the Netherlands, talks about all the options you can find to make sure your children are well cared for in their first years, from preschools and day care centers to nannies and household helpers.

Contents

1. Partou Daycare is one of the most popular child care centers in the Netherlands. Partou Kindergarten With 300 centers and over 3,800 employees, Partou is one of the largest child care organizations in the Netherlands. They invest in quality, development and innovation to maintain a high level of service quality while keeping each Partou center small, cozy and welcoming to both parents and children. Their staff speak English and they are very popular with expat families.
   Preschools in the Netherlands For many expat families, the Toddler Preschool (peuterspeelzaal) is their first introduction to the Dutch school system. Peuterspeelzaal is an educational program that helps children between the ages of two and a half and four prepare for school. Preschool institutions are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Social Security and Employment. First of all, preschool institutions are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Social Security and Employment. Toddlers learn intellectual, emotional and educational skills such as language and counting, social interaction, following directions, play, sports and music. The Peuterspeelzaal is open five days a week (Monday-Friday). You can choose to send your child for three or five hours (excluding/including lunch) and one to five days a week (some centers require a minimum of two days a week). Most preschools open at 8:30 am and the day lasts until 3:00 pm. The cost of childcare is shared between parents, their employers and the government in accordance with the Dutch childcare law passed in 2005. The contribution of parents depends on income. There are government fact sheets that provide complete information about child benefits. A 12-page booklet published by Sardes provides additional interesting details about the early childhood education system.
   Choosing a preschool in the Netherlands Choosing a peuterspeelzaal depends on three main criteria: location, methodology and accessibility. Language is also a strong factor: a large percentage of pre-schools teach exclusively in Dutch. However, there are also a significant number of English-speaking kindergartens, especially in the vicinity of The Hague. By location, you can choose one that is in your area, or one that is associated with the elementary school your child will later go to. There are several teaching methodologies that target different areas or styles of teaching. But in the end, space can be the deciding factor.
   Typical day 8:30-9:00: Arrival and play with parents. Parents should wave goodbye before leaving.
   9:00 am: Play activities – drawing, coloring, crafts on the theme of the month
   10:00 – Snack
   10:30 – Circle – related songs and stories
   10:45 – Play outside or indoors if it rains/snows
   11:45 – Pick up children staying for 3 hours
   12:00 – Lunch – bread and cheese or hagelslag
   12:45 – Activity – movement or creative activity
   13-13:30 – Pick up children staying for 5 hours
   Kindergarten in the Netherlands Another option for children aged 0 to 4 is day care, where the children are looked after while the parents are at work. Children are divided either vertically, when all age groups are together (from 0 to 4 years old), or horizontally, when children are the same age. Kindergartens usually repeat the working day and are open from 7:30 am or 8:00 am to 6:00 pm or 6:30 pm. Some centers operate for half a day, and some even 24 hours a day. The flexibility of such centers may be one reason why waiting lists tend to be very long.
   Child rearing The main options are childcare (oppasmoeder, gasthouder) or babysitting/couple services. The main differences are that a caregiver looks after four children in their home, while a nanny or au pair looks after your child in your home. Typically, you sign up for your own nanny or au pair, who usually looks after four children at home. This can be a very flexible option for parents.
   Preparing for the first day Get some buzz around the upcoming start day. Take your child into the building with you so that he can see where the school is and look through the windows. You can talk about how your child is getting older and is already a big baby. Most importantly, be positive The first day can be overwhelming for both parent and child. Here are some tips on how to deal with it:
   Start with a good breakfast.
   Remind your child of the fun of going to school (that they’ve already been there, etc.).
   Perhaps offer a gift at the end of the day for good behavior.
   If your child is potty trained, be sure to show him the toilet and explain who will take him away while you are away.
   Reassure them that you will be there to pick them up at the end of game time.
   Leave at 9in the morning, regardless of your child’s reaction – caregivers are trained to help children settle in.
   On the first day, set aside time to meet with caregivers to discuss specific needs (pacifier, favorite toy, toilet training information, etc.).
   General Tips
   Label clothes and bags with your child’s name
   Bring fruit or snacks with you – some schools provide snacks, some do not
   Bring a pair of soft, closed shoes for your child
   Prepare emergency information and doctor contact information (you will complete the form on the first day)

The main differences are that a caregiver looks after four children in their home, while a nanny or au pair looks after your child in your home. Typically, you sign up for your own nanny or au pair, who usually looks after four children at home. This can be a very flexible option for parents.

   Preparing for the first day

   Make a fuss about the upcoming start day. Take your child into the building with you so that he can see where the school is and look through the windows. You can talk about how your child is getting older and is already a big baby. Most importantly, be positive

   The first day can be overwhelming for both parent and child. Here are some tips on how to deal with it:

   • Start with a good breakfast.
   • Remind your child about the fun of going to school (that he has already been there, etc.).
   • Perhaps offer a gift at the end of the day for good behavior.
   • If your child is potty trained, be sure to show him the toilet and explain who will take him away while you are away.
   • Reassure them that you will be there to pick them up at the end of game time.
   • Leave at 9 am, no matter how your child reacts – caregivers are trained to help children settle in.
   • On the first day, set aside time to meet with caregivers to discuss specific needs (pacifier, favorite toy, toilet training information, etc.).

   General advice

   • Label clothes and bags with your child’s name
   • Bring fruit or snacks—some schools provide snacks, some don’t
   • Bring a pair of soft, closed shoes for your child
   • Prepare emergency information and doctor contact information (you will complete the form on the first day)

   Dutch kindergarten//Kindergarten in Dutch – Time to get out? All about immigration. — LiveJournal

   Let’s start with the fact that everything Dutch is called Dutch in English. And no, it doesn’t mean “Danish”, it means “Dutch” or “Dutch”.

   Today I want to write a little about Dutch kindergartens. Again, I already wrote a little about this on Instagram. Now there will be a little more information, since we are already finishing going to the garden.

   My son went to the Dutch Garden right after we moved. Just in a couple of days. We didn’t have time to stretch the adaptation period especially, because I had to go to work in a few days, and my husband – a month after arrival. Accordingly, during this month we needed not only to find a kindergarten for the child, but also to have time to adapt it, because, despite the fact that our child is unusually sociable and in all previous kindergartens, his adaptation period took about a couple of hours and he stayed from the first day for the whole day, yet the garden in another language is a completely different story.

   Gardening in the Netherlands starts at age 0. Yes, there is no maternity leave like in Russia here. She gave birth, a couple of months to return to herself and work forward. Accordingly, a 3-month-old child in a Dutch garden is the norm. In this case, the garden lasts up to 4 years. Without exaggeration, the next day after the child’s fourth birthday, he goes to school. Despite the fact that a garden for a working woman is a forced thing, they are infinitely expensive here. To make it clearer, for a 5-day full-day week, we give away almost 2,000 euros per month. We both work full-time, so we pay the maximum for the garden.

   For this reason, Dutch mothers don’t work the way we used to. As a rule, they have a 3- or 4-day work week, and even with possible home offices during these 3-4 days. If you start a conversation with a Dutch woman and say that if you have a child you work full-time, she may not say it out loud, but she will definitely think that you are a “bad mommy”.

   Yes, the balance of life, or rather the Dutch approach to life balance, is very felt from our first days here. But, however, let’s continue about the garden. Not everything is so bad with its high cost. The social system provides for compensation for kindergarten, but only if both parents work. It is logical – if you both work, then you both pay taxes (which are huge here, by the way). The amount of compensation is determined individually and directly depends on income. The scale of taxation here is progressive. Accordingly, the less you earn, the more you are compensated and vice versa. Compensate up to 90% of the cost of the garden. We, of course, will be compensated much less, because we do not belong to the low-paid class. But you have to come to terms with this, the whole of Europe lives like this.

   The good news is that school starts early and is free. My son turns 4 in October and is going to a public Dutch school. We will not pay for it, but only daycare will pay – what is called an aftercare in Russia.

   A garden in Holland is not at all equal to a garden in Russia. The first thing that shocked me was their approach to nutrition. After Russia, where children are given the first/second/fifth/tenth, nutritional value and calorie content, etc., Dutch food in the form of sandwiches for children was nonsense for me. Yes, they are not fed porridge here, what soups are in the Netherlands they don’t know at all, and bread and cheese is considered a completely normal lunch. They are given fruits and vegetables with sandwiches. They don’t drink tea here. The son says that they give only water and milk. At first, of course, I could not understand this fact, but then I reconciled. Here it must be understood that the Dutch are not at all Italians or French in relation to food – they do not make a cult out of food. Replaced the feeling of hunger with a sandwich and will be with you. By the way, I have never seen a complete Dutchman or a Dutchwoman. They are all very tight. And high. Therefore, I myself cook the first thing at home, so that in the evening after the garden and work, the husband and child must eat a full hot meal.

   They don’t really care about conditions. In the garden, everyone wears outdoor shoes, no shift. The beds are bunk beds, the lower level is right on the floor. That is, completely on the floor – the base of the bed, on it is a mattress and immediately a child. Drafts do not frighten the Dutch, sanitation is not sanitation – not a question at all. In this regard, Russian gardens are much more scrupulous.

   And speaking of upbringing, there are children of different nationalities in the kindergarten. A larger number, of course, are Dutch, but there are also Indians, British, we are Russians) By the way, in our garden we are the only ones from Russia. I like that my son learns from the cradle to see the world in its cross-cultural diversity.

   Educators involve children in joint activities – they cook food together, sing songs, pour water on the street. A couple of weeks ago they were taken out as a daytime activity to the NEMO museum. Those who have been in it understand how cool it is – this is an incredibly interesting scientific children’s museum, where adults often have fun no less than kids. There, the exhibits describe physical phenomena, experiments, chemical laboratories, the planet and space, the evolution of light bulbs, and gravity are described. Everything is interactive;

   They also have an application into which they upload photos every day. Especially for my husband and I, they write comments in English, because we still learn Dutch only from the lessons that our son gives us.

   Well, the last thing I wanted to say is language for a child. The language was my biggest concern. My child catches on quickly, he spoke Russian very well for his age, teachers in the Russian garden repeatedly told us that for his age he speaks too complicated and full. This, of course, affected his sense of self in the group – he felt confident, because he quickly found contact with everyone, he could easily express himself and ask for what he needed or explain what exactly he did not like, so that they would help him. After the habit, it’s so easy to feel like in a team, at 3.5 years old to be surrounded by no one understands you at all, and moreover, you don’t understand anyone yourself … Oh, that was my biggest experience. I was afraid that psychological problems would not begin, as if the child would not become isolated.

   Fortunately, none of this happened. Now, after almost 6 months, the son understands everything that the teachers tell him in Dutch and already replaces Russian words with Dutch ones.
