Introducing preschoolers to a healthy lifestyle is one of the important tasks of a kindergarten. And here interaction with the families of the pupils plays a huge role. Of course, parents are most interested in preserving the health of their child. However, not all of them have a medical education and are competent in various issues. Therefore, the teacher’s task is to help moms and dads and convey valuable information to them. And a specially equipped health corner in each group will help with this. Moreover, it will interest not only parents, but also the children themselves.
The importance of the health corner in a group
A modern person needs to think seriously about his health, because the active use of the achievements of civilization is fraught with negative consequences for physical fitness, and sometimes for mental state. Therefore, many caring parents of a very early age try to teach their children an active lifestyle, healthy eating, and a proper daily routine. In some families, insufficient attention is paid to these points, since their importance is underestimated. In this regard, the main goal of the health corner, which should be created in each preschool group, is to help mothers and fathers protect and improve the health of their children.
Not all families lead a healthy and active lifestyle, so tips in the health corner will help parents realize the importance of these points
This goal is realized through specific tasks.
- Give specific recommendations on the physical education of preschool children (issues of hygiene, posture, hardening, etc.)
- Talk about the importance of properly organizing your daily routine.
- Provide information on the prevention of infectious diseases.
- Consult the family on psychological issues (for example, adaptation to kindergarten, preparation for school, etc.).
Medical corners also benefit preschoolers themselves. With their help, you can easily explain to children many useful things that help them maintain their health. This should only be important information so that the child’s attention does not wander (for example, a specific visual algorithm for washing hands or brushing teeth). The children's audience of the health corner includes students from the middle, senior and preparatory groups.
Sometimes a teacher organizes a health corner in a group room exclusively for preschoolers. There are a variety of didactic pictures for children (for example, “Healthy and poisonous mushrooms and berries”), books on suitable topics, posters (for example, about the structure of the human body), layouts, workbooks (for senior and preparatory groups), and didactic games (“ Askorbinka and her friends”, etc.). A game character, a Doctor Aibolit doll, is also often placed in this zone.
This health zone is organized, as a rule, starting from middle preschool age. But if you wish, you can also arrange it for younger preschoolers.
Sometimes in a group the health zone is combined with a physical education corner.

For boys
However, there must be a place for boys to play in the play area. A children's corner for a boy may take up a little more space than for a girl. The main requirements for its location also remain convenience and accessibility for children. Such corners are created to take into account the gaming interests of children of different sexes, their differentiation and the development of gaming activities in general.
Design options are chosen based on the interests of the majority of boys in the group and general “boy” themes. For example:
- car showroom,
- nautical theme (ship),
- workshop,
- military base,
- or a corner of space in kindergarten.
Outer space will be interesting and useful for children of senior preschool age. With its help, children will gain basic knowledge about space, planets, and spaceships in a playful way.
The color scheme of such a corner is determined by the theme.
These are the shades:
- blue,
- purple,
- white and yellow colors.
It would be good if the furniture for the corner was made in the same colors. If the group’s budget does not allow you to buy new furniture, you can use self-adhesive film of the desired color and texture. On the floor you can place a rug with a space theme (lunar surface, meteorite). A simple model of the solar system must be present - either as a poster on the wall, or paper planets in volumetric form, hanging from the ceiling.

Requirements for the design of a medical corner
There are no strict standards for the design of a medical corner in the group. This zone should be located in the place where parents (or legal representatives) spend the most time in kindergarten - and this is the locker room (or reception room).
When designing a health corner, the teacher must show creativity and imagination - then it will interest mom or dad (after all, today any information can be found and read on the Internet). The following important points need to be taken into account.
- Location. Information should be placed in a visible place to attract the attention of parents. At the same time, the corner should fit harmoniously into the overall interior of the locker room.
- Titles of materials play an important role. They should be bright and “catchy”, causing a desire to get acquainted with the information. For example, you don’t need to dryly write “Basic methods of preventing influenza and acute respiratory infections,” but expressively indicate “Strong immunity will defeat colds!” or “The flu won’t go away!” Another example: not “How to prepare a child for school,” but “Let’s go to school with joy!”
- The material presented should be extremely simple and accessible. After all, not all adults have deep knowledge in the field of medicine. Incomprehensible terms and phrases, complex syntactic structures will only scare off the reader. It is good to present information in a abstract manner (for example, in the form of numbered lists), in the form of step-by-step instructions (each step in a separate frame) - this structures the material well and highlights the main ideas.
- The text must be carefully checked for grammatical and syntax errors.
- The font should not be small (bulky articles cut out from magazines are not acceptable). It's good when its color contrasts with the background. The title should be made larger and highlighted in a different color.
- Colorfulness. A well-designed medical corner involuntarily attracts the eye with its rich colors, bright illustrations, and interesting photographs. Any textual information must be accompanied by clarity, especially since the audience of the health zone is not only adults, but also children. Popular characters from fairy tales and cartoons, or just funny little animals, would be very appropriate.
- The material must be updated periodically (at least once a month) so that interest in the health corner does not fade away.
Basic tools for decorating and filling a corner
Certain means are used to design and fill the medical corner. First of all, these are stands. They have plastic pockets in which information is placed on a thematic basis (for example, in one - tips on disease prevention, in the other - recommendations on general physical education). Pictures are also inserted into these pockets.
The stand has plastic pockets in which information is placed
Another popular means of decorating and filling a corner is sliding folders (they are screens made of thick paper). They are installed on booths, usually directly under the stand. Such manuals can be purchased ready-made on a variety of topics, or you can make them yourself - in the form of several files (materials can be changed).
The sliding folder is a paper screen that is placed on children's booths
Sometimes file folders are posted in the health corner. They are designed like a book that you can flip through. If desired, parents can take such material home to familiarize themselves with it more thoroughly.
Sports family – healthy child
Parents are the most significant people for everyone throughout their lives. For a small child, they are role models. The child’s life activities directly depend on their lifestyle. The health corner should also contain information about a healthy lifestyle and the need for parents and children to spend time together. Parents need to cultivate in their child the need to take care of their body, eat well and properly, be active and play sports. At the same time, they themselves must adhere to the same attitudes, accept them and demonstrate them in behavior.
It is not necessary to fanatically follow the idea that a healthy body means a healthy mind. But we also must not forget about the need for vitamins, the quality of food as a source of energy, and light gymnastics that can be done even with a baby and which will strengthen his health - these ideas are definitely needed convey to parents.

The key component to the success of a health corner is its content. It is advisable to highlight three main blocks here.
