There was a scandal in kindergarten No. 5 of Verkhnyaya Pyshma: two mothers tried to stand up for young caregivers, but incurred the wrath of other employees and parents.
Alena Akhmadieva transferred her daughter to the younger group of the kindergarten a year and a half ago. Alena’s mother Olga Vladimirovna works as a physical education instructor in this kindergarten.
At the same time, the management of the establishment changed. Two young teachers were placed in the group where Alena’s daughter went. Parents noticed that inexperienced teachers could not cope with the children: the kids were constantly fighting and were bruised and abrasions.
One day Alena came for her daughter and saw that the child was walking around in wet clothes.
— The teacher was dressing the children for a walk, but the nanny left early. My daughter returned home with severe inflammation between her legs, as she had been walking described for a long time, Alena Akhmadieva told E1.
RU. – One child almost left the group, others walked unattended on the site.
After such a walk, my daughter had severe irritation on her legs

The girl developed dermatitis (the certificate is at the disposal of the E1.RU editors). If this happened in winter, she could get a cold in her genitals (a similar story happened in Nizhny Tagil).
Alena began to find out why the teachers did not keep track of her daughter. After talking with them, she decided that the head teacher was putting pressure on the teachers, allegedly forcing them to write explanatory notes on every minor occasion. After that, the woman, along with other dissatisfied parents, wrote a complaint to the education department.
— If educators had a normal leader who helps, does not arrange intrigues, they would work, not sort things out. They work in two shifts with the kids, the group is complex, the children are uncontrollable if you don’t know how to communicate with them, – says Alena.
But the educators themselves, apparently, refused their words. During the inspection, no one spoke about the difficult working conditions and did not express complaints. As a result, no violations were found.
During the next inspection of the kindergarten, no violations were found

The conflict also affected Alena’s mother, who works as a physical education instructor in a kindergarten. Now Olga Vladimirovna is on sick leave. The situation in the kindergarten, according to her, changed after the arrival of a new head and methodologist.
— They immediately said that they would remove unnecessary people. A lot of employees left after that, it was difficult to rebuild, – says Olga Vladimirovna. “Last year, I had to take sick leave to care for my son. The management did not like it, they expressed dissatisfaction with me. I tried to adapt, so even when I was on sick leave I went out and worked.
I never refused them anything, went out to the group, did any work. I don’t know why they behaved this way and why they treated us like that,” she added.
Another mother, Lyudmila Zvereva, faced another problem. She believes that her child was dropped from the group for no reason, although at the same time coughing children went to the kindergarten.
— The youngest in the group has a child coughing excitedly, a terrible cough, not residual, green snot. I call the teacher and say why is he not on sick leave? I was told that the manager forbade touching him, – said Lyudmila. – After this scandal, the doctor began to find fault with my children, landed for no reason. The boiling point was the moment they were sent home. I went with them to a paid doctor, who said that the children are perfectly healthy.
Ludmila also thinks that the guys are not being watched well enough.
– A few days before, my son almost left the group, when another mother caught him on the way out.
I am sure now that there is no and will not be supervision over our children, because the entire staff is already set against us, she added.
The head of the kindergarten, Marina Dyachkova, refused to talk to E1.RU, sending her to the Verkhnyaya Pyshma Education Department for comments. The manager didn’t pick up the phone. On another phone number, the departments answered the question of who could comment on the conflict: “Unfortunately, we cannot address you anywhere.”
The press service of the city administration told E1.RU that a prosecutor’s check is underway in the kindergarten, so it’s too early to draw any conclusions.
We said that in a kindergarten at Uralmash, a teacher hit a boy with a wire from a charger, and now investigators are talking to her. And in Serov, in a kindergarten, a three-year-old girl drank solvent.
Read about the conflict in the kindergarten, where a war broke out because of a mother who writes batches of complaints about an educational institution (some of them turned out to be completely unfounded).
