Sanitary rules governing the staffing of groups in kindergartens. The quality of Russian kindergartens is rapidly deteriorating. What are the consequences of non-compliance with standards?

On September 22, the Russian International Information Agency RIA Novosti hosts a press conference on the topic: “Moscow education: from infancy to school.” The event is held on the eve of the UNESCO World Conference on Child Care and Education younger age, which will be held for the first time in Moscow on September 27-29.

System preschool education As of September 1, 2010, Moscow has 2,040 kindergartens, in which more than 343 thousand children are educated and educated preschool age. IN recent years The capital's preschool education system is developing at an active pace. From 2006 to 2009, 311 kindergartens were built in Moscow and 85 kindergarten buildings in city, federal or private ownership were transferred to the city education system.

Kindergartens are divided into four large groups: municipal, departmental, private (commercial) and home (family). Depending on the type of kindergarten, both the curriculum and the number of children in the group vary.

In the state (municipal) kindergarten there is a “general education program”, walks, physical education, modeling, drawing and music. All state kindergartens are divided into 12-hour, 14-hour and 24-hour. There is a ten- or five-hour stay.

In state kindergartens, the group size usually ranges from 15 people (early age groups from 1.5 to 3 years) to 20 people ( preschool groups from 3 to 7 years). But the actual number of children is higher than planned, which is why advance registration is being carried out. The main disadvantage of a state kindergarten is that enrollment in such kindergartens takes place long before the child turns 1.5 years old.

Practical parents enroll their child in a public kindergarten as soon as he is born.

Departmental kindergartens are not directly controlled by the Department of Education; their programs and procedures are determined by the enterprises and organizations in whose department it is located. kindergarten. Such kindergartens are more expensive, but children of company employees are given discounts. There are few departmental gardens now, and their number is declining.

Private kindergartens are usually open until 20.00 or 21.00, or around the clock. They have a very intensive and rich development program. Private kindergartens are usually well equipped with games and toys, visual aids, children can be taken for a walk to the nearest forested area. Control over the work of non-state preschool educational institutions (PSEs) is carried out through licensing, accreditation, certification of programs and certification of teachers.

Meals are prepared individually for each child. This is important when a child is allergic to certain foods or has dysbacteriosis.

Specialists constantly work with children: speech therapists, pediatricians, psychologists.

The educational load is quite strong - much attention is paid to preparing the child for school.

Variety of classes - Chinese wrestling, wushu sections, karate, etiquette, ballroom dancing, chess, etc.

One type of private kindergarten is a home kindergarten (family kindergarten). Usually it is kept by a married couple in their apartment, or the founders rent a room in which they set up a bedroom and a playroom. They invite a teacher, a nanny and a cook, and for older children - teachers of a foreign language, music, and drawing.

Children's preschool institutions operating in Moscow, depending on their specifics and functions classified into the following types and types:

Kindergarten combined type(type here different groups depending on the needs of children: in one they can practice art, in the other they can improve health);
- compensatory kindergarten (here the child will receive careful support from qualified specialists in the correction of physical and mental disabilities);
- general developmental kindergarten (with an intellectual, artistic or physical focus);
- a kindergarten for supervision and health improvement, equipped with everything necessary for regular health activities and procedures,
- kindergarten with an ethnocultural (national) component of education;
- preschool groups of state educational institutions "primary school - kindergarten"; preschool groups of state educational institutions "comprehensive school";
- child development center - a kindergarten with a rich arsenal of programs and methods (various groups and directions, specially trained specialists, ample opportunities for ongoing diagnostics - psychological, physical, medical);
- preschool groups of state educational institutions "progymnasium";
- preschool groups of state educational institutions "education center".

To fulfill the educational needs of Moscow families and ensure accessibility of preschool education, they have been created and are intensively developing new forms of preschool education- child play support centers, which will help out the family if there is no need to constantly attend kindergarten. A mother can leave her child in such a center for several hours and go out on business.

In the 2010-2011 academic year, 24.6 thousand children will receive preschool education through new forms (21.6 thousand children in 2009), including:

273 child play support centers, which will be attended by 7.2 thousand children (in 2009 - 226 for 5.5 thousand children);

86 early intervention services - 1050 children (in 2009 - 73 for 888 children);

127 lekoteks for 1540 children (in 2009 - 109 lekoteks for 1303 children) (lekoteka is new form preschool education. It involves weekly free individual lessons for children with a speech therapist, speech pathologist, psychologist);

375 family kindergartens, which will educate 1,220 children (at the beginning of the school year in 2009, there were 240 family kindergartens for 779 pupils).

This form of preschool education, short-stay groups, has proven itself well and is in demand among Muscovites. But their number will not increase due to the fact that full-day groups are opening in the premises of short-term groups due to a shortage of places.

In the new academic year, there will be 1,021 short-stay groups for 13,562 children (in 2009, 1,023-13,171 children).

The waiting list for preschool educational institutions remains a serious problem (the waiting list for kindergartens is 25.5 thousand people).

Through the implementation of a program to increase places in preschool educational institutions (new construction, repurposing of group premises, opening new forms of preschool education, transfer of departmental institutions to the city system, etc.) in 2010-2011. The number of children will increase by more than 23 thousand compared to the last academic year.

In accordance with the order of the Moscow Government dated August 16, 2010 No. 1697-RP "On extraordinary measures to eliminate the waiting list in state preschool educational institutions of the Moscow Department of Education system in 2010-2011" it is planned:

construction in 2011-2012 213 kindergartens;

commissioning in 2010 of 46 kindergartens for 7225 places;

construction as part of investment contracts of 13 preschool educational institutions;

creation of 8,938 additional places in institutions of the Department of Education system (due to additional repurposing of group premises in preschool educational institutions, primary schools, kindergartens, gymnasiums, education centers, BNK, small schools);

25 federal preschool educational institutions have consent to transfer them to city ownership.

From October 1, 2010, new rules come into force in Russian kindergartens sanitary standards. According to the amendments, preschool institutions will be divided into educational and those that provide only child care. Home gardens are acquiring official status. Among other things, according to the new standards, kindergartens will be able to accept children from two months to a year in nursery groups and from two to seven years in regular groups. At the same time, the number of children in groups should not exceed 10 people in a nursery and 20 in a regular one.

The new rules apply mainly to kindergartens just preparing to open. However, the administration of existing preschool institutions was urged to do everything possible to comply with the above requirements as much as possible.

The material was prepared based on information from open sources

The educational infrastructure in Moscow is actively developing. Every year, new kindergartens and schools are opened in the city, built to all modern standards. One of these educational institutions, school No. 1542, appeared in the Solntsevo district in the west of the capital. On Thursday, August 16, it was opened by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

High quality and modern

The new school is designed for 500 places and will house 22 classes. For quality training, there are classrooms for computer science, labor, modeling and technical toys. The educational institution has all the conditions for sports.

For first-graders, there is a playroom and a children's bedroom; students in grades 2-4 will receive two rooms for extended-day groups. As for older children, there are classrooms for them in natural sciences, a computer-linguistic laboratory, classrooms for computer science, computer technology, drawing and drawing.

In addition, in new school a library with a reading room for 30 people and a media library will open, an assembly hall, offices for a doctor, psychologist, dentist and speech therapist, a vaccination room and a treatment room will operate. The school building is equipped modern systems security and video surveillance, which, together with a wide range of engineering and technical capabilities, create a high-quality and safe learning environment for children.

Sergei Sobyanin noted that on September 1, almost 1.5 million children will come to the capital’s schools. “We, of course, are preparing for this important event. Major and ongoing repairs of kindergarten buildings, schools, and equipment for sports grounds are underway,” the mayor said.

The mayor recalled that this year enrollment in kindergartens begins at age two and a half, except in those areas where additional preschool educational institutions are being built.

Hundreds of schools and kindergartens

New schools and kindergartens appear in the capital almost every month. Thus, on September 1, the day the new school year begins, nine new educational institutions will open their doors in the capital. These are four kindergartens for 900 places, four schools for more than three thousand students and a block of primary classes for 250 children.

All new kindergartens and schools are equipped with modern equipment for education and comprehensive physical and aesthetic development of children. Their premises are adapted for the convenience of people with limited mobility. Two kindergartens are located in the Nekrasovka district in the southeast of the capital, the other two are in the Presnensky and Severny districts. As for schools, they are located in the Nekrasovka, Solntsevo, Strogino and Severny districts.

In total, 15 educational institutions will be built in the capital at the expense of the budget in 2018. These are nine kindergartens, four schools and two blocks primary classes. The head of the Moscow Construction Department, Andrei Bochkarev, previously noted that since the beginning of the year, two kindergartens with 650 places have been put into operation, the construction of seven more pre-school educational institutions for 1,325 children, and four schools for more than three thousand students continue.

Last year alone, at the expense of the city budget, 10 educational institutions appeared in the capital: three preschools with 725 places, four schools with more than four thousand children, as well as three blocks of primary classes for 1,100 children. In total, according to the head of the Moscow construction complex, Marat Khusnullin, almost 300 new schools and kindergartens appeared in the city between 2011 and 2018.

“Now in Moscow there are no queues for schools and kindergartens. In the future, we will develop social construction taking into account the demographic situation,” noted the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.

On results achieved the capital is not going to stop; the city does not intend to slow down the pace of commissioning new kindergartens and schools. In the next three years, it is planned to build 129 educational facilities in Moscow that will be able to accommodate 14 thousand children.

Some new projects are unique to Moscow. Thus, the new kindergarten on Varshavskoye Shosse has an unusual design - a round building shape, figured windows reminiscent of animals and birds. The preschool educational institution is designed for nine groups of 20 children each. The three floors of the building accommodate several groups depending on age. The youngest are located on the first floor, the middle ones are on the second, and the older children are on the third.

Each group has its own bedroom, playroom, locker room and toilet. All rooms are equipped with TVs and blackboards. According to the schedule, children have five classes every day. Added to traditional art, music and physical education English language, computer science, choreography and even chess.

Not only the internal space of the preschool institution has been equipped, but also the surrounding area. Along the perimeter of the building there are nine playgrounds made of environmentally friendly materials. Installed on them play equipment, shade canopies.

Transformable buildings

A new trend in the construction of educational institutions in the capital is transformable educational buildings. The first three such structures will appear in Moscow in next year. Due to their functionality, such buildings can be a kindergarten, an elementary school, or a combined educational institution that combines both preschool groups and a primary school building.

The building can be transformed for specific purposes depending on the needs of the area. You can re-equip the “transformer” even during summer holidays. For example, a preschool educational institution for 300 children can be turned into primary school, which will teach 12 classes.

Thus, in South Butovo there will be a block of primary classes that can be reformatted into a kindergarten, as well as a combined BNK with a preschool department for 300 places. Another combined primary school block will operate in the Kurkino district.

As the head of the capital's construction complex, Marat Khusnullin, noted, the need for schools and kindergartens is constantly growing in Moscow. The idea of ​​constructing transformer buildings, he said, arose several years ago. “On behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, standard architectural and technical solutions were developed for a combined primary school block with a preschool department,” he noted.

Giant schools

Another trend is the creation of so-called giant schools. Last year, an educational institution with 2,100 places opened in Nekrasovka. The primary classes of the school can accommodate up to 800 students, and the middle and senior classes are designed for 1,300 students. Taking into account the active development of the area and the constant increase in its population, the number of students is constantly increasing. Accordingly, the number of teachers is growing.

The school has everything necessary for a quality educational process. Textbooks, laboratories, libraries with a conference room. In addition, the school has created a large sports core, which includes courts for mini-football, badminton, volleyball, table tennis, and crumb rubber running tracks. Despite its huge size, the school is very comfortably zoned. Junior classes study separately from middle and senior classes.

Another giant school will soon appear in the capital; its construction is currently underway on the territory of the former ZIL industrial zone. The educational institution will be able to accommodate 400 more people than a similar one in Nekrasovka - up to 2,500 students.

As Marat Khusnullin noted, this territory is gradually turning into a comfortable area that meets all international standards. It is expected that 76 thousand people will live on ZIL. Many of them are families with children who need educational institutions within walking distance. The giant school will become an integral part of the area and increase its attractiveness. Children will study within their place of residence; they will not need to spend a lot of time traveling to another district of Moscow.

The new school can easily be called an experimental learning center. The building will be four-story, it will be divided into thematic zones: junior, middle and senior classes. Classrooms will be equipped according to the specifics of each block.

The giant school at ZIL will give its students ample opportunities for self-expression and development of their talents. The school will have halls for gymnastics and choreography, a hall for 1040 people with a stage. The highlight of the educational institution will be the children's technology park "Quantorium". Children will be able to study laser technologies, nanomaterials, try themselves in shipbuilding, and create virtual reality. Children from other schools can also visit the technology park.

New Moscow

The educational infrastructure is also actively developing in the annexed territories. As Marat Khusnullin recently noted, in the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky districts (TiNAO) 11 kindergartens and eight schools will be put into operation this year. At the same time, the head of the capital’s construction complex emphasized, more than half of the social infrastructure in New Moscow is being built at the expense of investors.

One of the largest projects of this kind in the TiNAO is the Letovo international school in the settlement of Sosenskoye. It will open its doors to something new academic year. This is a huge educational complex designed for children from 12 to 18 years old.

Up to 1,012 students will be able to study at the Letovo school. The complex has classrooms, administrative and service buildings, a checkpoint, engineering structures and communications. The educational center is fully equipped with sports infrastructure - running tracks, exercise machines, tennis courts, a large sports ground, grounds for volleyball, figure skating, and hockey. In addition, a greenhouse is provided for practical training in the field of agriculture.

The pace of creation of educational infrastructure in the annexed territories is impressive. For example, over the past five years, 10 schools have been built for almost 10 thousand students. Integrated approach to the creation of new educational centers made it possible to eliminate the shortage of places in kindergartens and schools in the TiNAO.

Despite the crisis, many parents are still willing to pay 70 thousand rubles for a decent kindergarten. per month. This brings the founder of the “Interesting Kindergarten” almost 600 thousand rubles. profit per month

Founder of the “Interesting Kindergarten” Zhanna Ryzhova (Photo: Oleg Yakovlev / RBC)

Started withRublevki

Zhanna Ryzhova, a graduate of the Higher School of Economics and the heroine of the first Russian reality show “Behind the Glass,” decided to open her own kindergarten when she was faced with the problem of choosing a preschool institution for her three-year-old son. She visited all the kindergartens on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway, where she lived with her husband at the time, but never found a suitable option. “I realized that I could not entrust my child to educators of the previous generation who did not know how to speak with the child on an equal footing,” recalls Ryzhova in an interview with RBC.

Ryzhova had experience working with children. In 2008, she opened an animation studio for her son and his friends. Ryzhova rented two rooms (60 sq. m.) in a non-residential building on Rublyovka, registered the Academy of Interests LLC and hired a team of artists who drew cartoons with the children. “I just hung a notice on the fence and within a month I gathered a group of our neighbors’ children,” recalls Ryzhova. ​A few hours of creativity were not enough for the children: they refused to leave the studio, and the parents persuaded Ryzhova to create a kindergarten on the basis of the studio. Thus, in 2009, the first “Interesting Kindergarten” appeared.

Preschool Economics

The cost of visiting the Interesting Kindergarten depends on the length of the child’s stay. A full day (from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.) costs 70 thousand rubles. per month excluding additional classes. Half a day - from 9 to 13 o'clock or from 16 to 20 o'clock - will cost parents 45 thousand rubles. This average price for a kindergarten in the center of the capital, estimates Yuri Belonoshchenko, founder of the network of children's “Baby Clubs”: the cost of visiting is determined by the geography of the garden. In addition to the monthly fee for a five-day stay, parents will be charged an entrance fee of 100 thousand rubles. In addition to the main program, parents can choose additional classes for their offspring (1.2-1.5 thousand rubles per lesson), including chess, ballet, vocals, playing musical instruments, capoeira, football, jiu-jitsu, etc.

Now there are 65 children in the kindergarten on Bolshoy Trekhgorny Lane, some of whom attend part-time. According to Ryzhova, this allows you to earn 3.5-4 million rubles. (depending on the number of additional classes) per month.

The main expenses of the Interesting Kindergarten are rent (1 million rubles per month) and wages (1.2 million rubles). The Interesting Kindergarten has a staff of 30 people: ten teachers and five nannies (each group has two teachers and one assistant), a director, a psychologist, a speech therapist, a pediatrician, kitchen workers, cleaners, a designer and a PR manager. The teachers who teach additional classes (eight people) work freelance in the kindergarten. All the nanny assistants at the Interesting Kindergarten are from the Philippines: they get along well with children and speak English with them during breaks, explains Ryzhova. Food for pupils costs 300 thousand rubles, utility costs - 200 thousand rubles, costs for replacing and repairing toys can reach 100 thousand rubles monthly.

The kindergarten in Bolshoi Trekhgorny Lane reached its current payback in the second year of operation, and has been generating stable profits since September 2015. Ryzhova plans to recoup the investment in three years, by the end of 2016.

Save money on chess

Ryzhova is not afraid of a crisis in the country: she launched both kindergartens during the economic recession. “I believe that a crisis is fertile soil from which something really big can grow,” she says. In 2015, the revenue of the “Interesting Kindergarten” did not decrease (Ryzhova did not disclose its size), parents still enroll their children on the waiting list. Therefore, together with her partner Vladimir Pogrebenko (former director of VDNH), Zhanna plans to open the third “Interesting Kindergarten” in Mitino in the fall of 2016, but for 300 children. The cost of services there will be lower - 35-40 thousand rubles. per month.

A crisis is a fertile time for opening new gardens, agrees the founder of the Baby Club, Belonoshchenko. According to him, the recession has not hit the private preschool education segment much: parents do not withdraw their children from expensive kindergartens, but are reducing the number of additional classes for a fee: “Previously, our clients boldly added additional “sauces” to their children’s schedule in the form of chess, dancing and baby yoga. Nowadays they often stop only at what is necessary.” The economic situation in the country even helped private gardens in some way, Belonoshchenko believes. The main pre-crisis problem - suitable premises for reasonable money - has lost its urgency: many buildings have become vacant, and landlords have become much more accommodating.

“No matter how much they say that they won’t save on children, in reality this is not so,” Vladimir Ageev disagrees, financial director network of private kindergartens "Gulliver". — We work in a non-elite place in the city, in a residential area, and we have a client who is very sensitive to changes in payment. Parents are faced with a choice, and it happens that this choice is not made in favor of a good, but paid kindergarten.” Private kindergartens of average cost are now competing with good public kindergartens. “Of course, the number of students in groups is sometimes prohibitive, but the cost of training and education is symbolic. And given the current economic situation, for some parents this is a determining factor,” says Ageev.

Education based on interests

Zhanna Ryzhova is sure that it is not necessary to teach reading, counting and writing before the age of six: a child will acquire these skills at school. “Kindergarten is a place where a child should feel comfortable psychologically,” says Ryzhova. — Many parents strive for their child to read and solve problems fluently by the age of three. “I believe that the main thing during this period is to teach a child to communicate and make friends with peers, not to be afraid, but to respect adults, to develop their talents and abilities.” That's why game rooms in the “Interesting Kindergarten” there are niches for relaxation, where a child can climb with a blanket and a coloring book, as well as separate “professional” areas where children try themselves in the role of a doctor, salesman, teacher, etc. However, in senior group The kindergarten still conducts preparatory classes for school - individually with each student.

Society has always treated people who are involved in training and educating the younger generation with respect. One of these professions is the profession of a kindergarten teacher. But is this hard work adequately paid? Let's find out how much kindergarten workers earn in various cities of Russia in 2015.

But the salary of an assistant teacher, or as people say, a nanny, leaves much to be desired. In 2015, the national average was only 12,333 rubles. It should be noted that previously the incomes of this category of workers and specialists with higher education did not differ much, but after 2012 it was decided to correct this shortcoming in the wage calculation system.

How much does a kindergarten cost in Moscow in 2020?

Many parents, after finding out how much kindergarten costs, began to think about transferring their child to a private boarding school. Of course, everyone has the right to choose exactly the children's institution in Moscow that is most suitable for the child and his parents. But you shouldn’t naively think that fees for a private establishment will not increase, because in such an establishment you also need to eat well. In addition, private institutions provide costs that are an order of magnitude higher than public institutions, since the services of each teacher must be paid higher. Often the list of services includes those that are paid separately.

A rise in price is indeed expected, and maybe even more than one. It should be noted that at the beginning of last year, fees for kindergarten in Moscow and other regions of Russia were already raised. From that moment on, many parents found it difficult to pay for their child, and if there is not one minor member in the family, but two or even three, then this becomes an insoluble problem.

kind And operating mode up to twenty percent up to ten percent

Article 9 Law on Education in St. Petersburg states that the monthly fee for childcare in public preschool institutions, which carry out activities to implement educational programs in these institutions, is set as a percentage of the amount of monthly costs for the care and supervision of children in state preschool institutions.

Chickenpox in kindergarten: what to do and how to avoid infection

If a child with characteristic rashes and other signs of chickenpox is discovered in a kindergarten, a pediatrician is called to see him, who makes a diagnosis and reports the fact of the disease to the local clinic. Quarantine is imposed on the kindergarten on the basis of a corresponding order received from the clinic. Most often, parents of other children are informed about quarantine through an announcement on the doors of the institution.

Varicella, commonly called chickenpox, is an extremely common infectious disease. viral disease, which affects people of all ages. However, chickenpox most often occurs in early age: Preschool children are especially susceptible to this disease, since their immunity is not yet fully formed, and they do not have antibodies to the chickenpox virus or have insufficient quantities.

Kindergarten teachers, how many hours do you work?

Teachers work half a day. One in the morning, the second comes to replace it at lunch (at 12-13)
But in reality from 7 to 14 00 and from 14 00 to 19 00 + if there is no nanny, all the work is for her and for the shift worker (if she is on sick leave or studying) + for the janitor + for the actor of the “burnt theater” and for pennies, with sometimes inadequate parents. There is a lot of writing and a lot of children for one teacher, which makes the learning process not give much success in teaching children! You need to take plans home. I love working with children, but the conditions are getting worse and worse every year, and there are more and more responsibilities!

Because of such suckers who agree to work 10.5 and 12 hours, a garden with a normal schedule (shifts) is now hard to find. Do you even understand that this is a violation? labor code? And you are obliged to complain to the labor inspectorate. The working week should not exceed 40 hours, according to Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Read it. That is, you can work 8 hours a day. Anything more than that is overtime. They must not exceed 120 hours per year! Your excess is clearly off the charts. What do you mean you don't make hours? Well, you can’t work 12 hours a day. You are being scammed, but you agree. In my opinion, they stupidly skimp on employees in the gardens. Why hire a shift worker if you can find a poor woman who, for fear of being left without work, will plow in two shifts. People in the office work 8 hours, and you work 10 and 12. Who told you that you should? It all started when employees who were illiterate in labor law began to agree to such conditions. Usually, newcomers agree to work this way in order to be hired. They lower wages and make working conditions worse.

How much does a “star” kindergarten cost?

Children are immersed in an English-speaking environment, thanks to educators and teachers from the UK, USA and Ireland. From the age of three, children are also taught Chinese and French by native speakers. The training program is based on the state educational program of Great Britain and Russia.

Ilya Averbukh recommends the private kindergarten of the classical boarding school of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov to colleagues and acquaintances. His son Martin loved it here. The kindergarten is considered a preschool department of the classical boarding school of Moscow State University. Children from 2 to 6.5 years old are taken here. There are up to 12 guys in a group. Teachers work with children according to the author’s model of organizing the educational process. The goal is to identify the child’s abilities and develop them. A speech therapist works with each student, and much attention is paid to etiquette lessons. Among the subjects that children learn before school are English and French, Chinese is taught at will, and teachers also teach dance, music, chess, swimming, and gymnastics classes. The choice of disciplines and sections is huge. Of course, there are no grades here, but the children gain serious knowledge. From this kindergarten, many graduates go to study at the boarding school of Moscow State University.

Kindergarten fees in St. Petersburg

The monthly fee primarily depends on kind And operating mode groups in state preschool institutions. For families with one or two children, the fee will be up to twenty percent average parental payment for each child. For families with three or more children, the fee will be up to ten percent average parental payment for each child.

The tables show that for a 12-hour stay of one child in a general developmental group, the parental fee will be 713 rubles per month. This is the case if there are 1-2 children in the family. For those who have 3 children or more, the fee for kindergarten in the same group with a 12-hour stay will be 356 rubles per month for each child.

Over the past 6 years, 193 new kindergartens have been built in Moscow, which in total can accommodate more than 31 thousand children. This was reported by Mayor Sergei Sobyanin during an inspection of the new building of preschool education at GBOU school No. 887 in the Kuntsevo district.

“It turned out to be a beautiful kindergarten, built according to an individual project. Basically, everything is there: a media library, a music room, and a gym. It doesn’t often happen that a kindergarten was completed almost simultaneously with the houses, almost ahead of schedule, it is still half empty, residents are now moving in and the kindergarten will fill up. So there won’t be any problems,” Sobyanin said.

How many kindergartens were opened in 2016?

Since the beginning of 2016, 12 kindergartens have been built in Moscow: nine buildings for 2,110 places at the expense of the city budget and three buildings for 775 places - with money from investors.

How have bedrooms and playrooms changed in new kindergartens in Moscow?

One of the latest technical innovations in the construction of kindergartens is sliding transformable walls. The accordion partition will be pulled out during sleep to protect children from excess noise and light, and then folded to expand the play area for the children. In addition, to optimize space, kindergartens will use roll-out three-tier beds that are retracted against the wall, forming something like shelving.
