Outline of educational work in the nursery group for the day

Learning by playing

The children's day in the nursery is scheduled minute by minute, and children's entertainment is aimed at learning and general development. Agree that not every family can do this. Modeling and drawing, dancing, physical education and even music are not the entire list of subjects in the general developmental program for young children. We hasten to prevent questions about how to get capricious fidgets to study - experienced educators know that games and a fun atmosphere work wonders.

The main rule of educational games according to “adult” rules is that they should be interesting to the child. A relaxed atmosphere and genuine interest from an adult facilitate the child’s learning and development. A significant part of the classes is devoted to the development of sensory abilities; the child learns to determine the color, shape and size of the objects around him. This knowledge is used in further classes.

Another important component of classes in the nursery group is that the baby learns to combine objects according to their individual properties . Such exercises develop not only mental abilities, but also fine motor skills of the baby. The popular mosaic game in nurseries also pursues similar goals - children put in and take out objects, developing hand movements.

Parents' opinion

We conducted a survey among parents whose children attend nurseries and asked them to tell us what activities are offered in the nurseries.

Ekaterina: – In the nursery there are lessons on familiarization with the outside world, modeling, drawing, design, appliqué, music, physical education, speech development, introduction to basic knowledge in mathematics and much more.

Yulia Kireeva: – In the nursery, children are taught to a minimum. This is rather an adaptation period to kindergarten. In general, it largely depends on the person – the teacher. I have met super responsible teachers who worked with children on development, and those who spent hours in the smoking room with breaks for lunch.

Anna Pipchenko: – We have a lot of activities in the nursery: dancing, modeling, drawing, developing group play skills, speech development, design, physical education.

Panda: – We have two nursery groups in the garden from 2 to 3 years old. Where my daughter went, they only read books, and only started going out in late spring! The youngest son went to the same kindergarten, but to a different nursery group, here they always walk and do activities - they sculpt from plasticine, paint, show the children finger theater, read books and much more. It turns out that everything depends on the teacher who leads the group. Sending your child to a good group is success!
