“Rights and responsibilities of parents in kindergarten”

The first steps in the socialization of the individual and in his adaptation to the rules established in society take place in kindergarten. Children are sent there at a fairly early age so that they acquire useful skills and learn to communicate with children and adults outside their family.

Children's rights are regulated in the Russian Federation by a number of legislative acts, despite this they are quite often violated, not only unconsciously, but also intentionally. Preschool employees set their own rules for children and adults, sometimes forgetting to comply with federal legislation. The situation looks especially ugly if we consider that the pupils are at an age that does not allow them to correctly evaluate the actions of adults and protect their rights. The entire responsibility for protecting children falls on their parents, but they do not always understand what they can do to defend the rights of the child in kindergarten.

Choosing a child care facility

The Compulsory Education Law states that children must be given the opportunity to attend kindergarten, but whether or not to send them there is the choice of the parents. Some adults, for personal reasons, refuse to send their children to kindergarten, but the majority of citizens want to place their child in a preschool educational institution, especially since this allows them to free up time and spend it on work or other activities.

In the Russian Federation, preschool educational institutions are divided into public and private institutions. The first ones are provided conditionally free of charge; parents pay only a small part of the funds spent on maintaining the child. But private gardens are not cheap, as they include the full range of services in the payment. Despite the huge number of kindergartens that have a commercial basis, the majority of children attend government institutions.

When choosing a state preschool educational institution, parents can base it on its reputation, teaching staff and other characteristics. More often, the choice is made on those institutions that are within walking distance from home or work. The workload of kindergartens does not allow you to change your decision at the last moment and send your child to another state-type institution. To get a place in kindergarten, you need to get on the waiting list in advance.

Important!

The sooner a parent worries about the problem of choosing and registering, the greater his chances of getting into the chosen preschool educational institution.

How to find out if a child’s rights are being violated in kindergarten?

The child spends a lot of time in kindergarten. It’s good that the state guarantees his protection, but how can you find out if the child’s rights are not being violated in kindergarten when you are not around? Indeed, in the understanding of a small child, any actions that an adult performs are correct.

He can be punished, oppressed, discriminated against, slapped on the bottom, but the child will take it for granted. After all, this is what an adult does!

Therefore, it is very important for us, parents, to find ways to find out what happens in the garden when the doors close behind the child. After all, protecting the rights of the child in kindergarten is the responsibility of parents of minor children.

How can I do that? Of course, you shouldn’t start a showdown with questions: “Didn’t your teachers offend you? What did Anna Petrovna say?” etc.

A great opportunity to learn everything from a child is to play a role-playing game. Let some hero, for example, Petrusha, tell your child about his teachers, and your child tell Petrusha about how his day is going in kindergarten.
Another opportunity to find out how a day goes in the garden is to ask your friends to observe from the outside the behavior of children on a walk. Do teachers play with children or do children entertain themselves? How do kids communicate with each other?

Basic rights of the child

Despite the early age of children who are brought to kindergarten, they are endowed with a number of rights, which the employees of the institution are called upon to observe. Pupils have the right to:

Maintaining health, not causing physical and mental harm to them, as well as timely provision of medical care if necessary.
Development of potential opportunities and implementation of existing ones. Visiting a group is not limited to just supervising them; an educational process must be organized in the garden that is appropriate for the age of the pupils. They are given classes and educational games.
Absence of emotional, mental and physical abuse.
Good nutrition and rest.

Teachers and other kindergarten employees are obliged to provide maximum care and supervision to children. In their actions, they must be guided, first of all, by accepted pedagogical norms and laws.

Rights of parents and children in kindergarten

Every parent must adhere to the rules, fulfill responsibilities and know their rights if their children attend a preschool educational institution. The list of rights is formed on the basis of the Convention. In Russia there are normative legal acts, for example, the “Family Code”, the Law “On Education”, “Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child”.

children have the right to development and education;
the right to play in a preschool;
the right to medical care, to protection of life and health;
I have the right to state protection from abusive relationships;
the state is obliged to protect, defend the interests and needs of the child;
he has the right to adequate nutrition for normal growth and development;
Parents must ensure that the rights of preschool children are respected.

Some rights and responsibilities are regulated by the rules and daily routine adopted in a particular preschool educational institution. To become familiar with them, you need to study the Charter of the child care institution.

Rights control

Everyone is obliged to respect the rights of children, but control over this, first of all, is imposed on the parents themselves. Who else but them can see the child’s reaction to visiting a preschool educational institution, his psychological state or the presence of some physical manifestations. The rights of parents in kindergarten include the possibility of conducting a preliminary check of the teaching staff for the level of professionalism and competence. After the child is enrolled in the group and attends it, the mother and/or father can also monitor how the teacher performs his duties and how he treats the students.

Parents' rights

Mom and dad have the right:

Making a choice between preschool institutions. No one has the right to tell a mother or father which preschool institution to send the baby to. They may give preference to a commercial structure or a government one, or even hire a nanny for the child to look after him at home.
Receive complete and reliable information about the teaching staff in the kindergarten. Find out about the education of educators and their work experience.
Show interest in the garden's operating hours. It's no secret that many parents choose kindergarten precisely because of the work schedule that suits them to fulfill their professional responsibilities.
Be interested in the programs used to raise children. There is a considerable variety of methods for developing the personality of children at an early age. Parents can find out about them in advance and, on this basis, decide to visit a preschool educational institution or look for another institution.

Parents have the right to protect the honor and dignity of their children. Although kids at this age fantasize a lot, there are often true events behind their incredible stories.

Important!

If a teacher offends, insults a child or uses unlawful methods of education against him, adults can file complaints with the head of the preschool educational institution and higher authorities.

Responsibilities of parents in kindergarten

In addition to rights, parents are endowed with an impressive list of responsibilities in relation to children attending preschool educational institutions. We'll look at some of the below.

respectful attitude towards preschool staff. Boorish behavior, communication in a raised voice, and assault are unacceptable. All kinds of conflict situations are resolved through a civilized solution to the problem;

You need to bring and pick up the baby in person, in the presence of a teacher. This responsibility should not be assigned to neighbors, relatives, or minor children. Sometimes, in special cases, it is possible to notify the manager in advance that another (adult) person will be picking up the child. The parents' application is certified by a notary;
It is imperative to promptly (day of absence up to 9 o’clock) warn preschool employees about the reason for the child’s non-attendance to the institution;

the baby’s mother and father have the right and obligation to prevent violence (physical, psychological), as well as offensive behavior towards their own and other children;
Parents are responsible for raising the child.

Rules to follow:

do not bring or pick up a pre-school student while intoxicated;
if there is arrears in payment, the administration may not accept the student;
get acquainted with the information posted on the stands of the preschool educational institution - you will be aware of your child’s activities in the kindergarten.

Identification of violations

Children are sent to kindergarten starting from the age of 1.5 years. At this age, not all of them can speak, and therefore children do not always say that they were offended. In addition, many things are perceived by them as a job, especially if the parents at home also practice rude statements towards the baby, intimidation, and possibly physical violence. But even in the absence of any types of violence at home, the child may not clearly speak out about the offense inflicted on him. But parents, with careful attention to the baby, can identify its use by indirect signs. To do this you need to pay attention:

Does he enjoy going to the garden? Children often do not want to go to a group and ask their parents to stay at home, but panic or fear in the child’s behavior clearly indicates that this is not a matter of whims, but of more serious things.
The child's attitude towards a particular teacher. Usually there are two teachers per group; children may be drawn to one of them, but, on the contrary, may not like the other.
The presence of abrasions, scratches, bruises and other marks, the formation of which is unclear.

Sometimes minors become very withdrawn, withdraw into themselves, and it is impossible to get an answer from them to standard questions. All these are also very alarming signs. But their presence does not indicate the guilt of the teaching staff or the infringement of the rights of the child. Parents should seek help from a psychologist, the head of the preschool educational institution or other persons in order to identify what caused this behavior, and subsequently punish the culprits.

Sample phrases from parents when talking with preschool employees

The child is constantly punished and put in a corner

It’s a shame that moral abuse of a child is allowed in your group. Are you responsible for every mistake?

“They used to beat children with rods in the garden! And you are indignant that I spanked him lightly"

All laws prohibit hitting a child. Your spanking can be classified as physical abuse of my child.

“Your child is imagining things. I never put him in a corner and punished him."

If this is the case, then you won't mind if the parents in the group put up video cameras. After all, we have the right to know what our children are doing and how they are treated.

By the way, it is illegal to secretly film or record conversations between a teacher and children or parents. But kindergarten parents have the right to officially install a video camera in the group.

It is necessary to fill out a collective application from parents addressed to the head of the kindergarten.
A sign must be installed stating that the premises are under video surveillance.

Be that as it may, defending the rights of your child in kindergarten should begin with a calm conversation with teachers. Control your emotions. If there is no result, go to the manager. Typically, most conflicts can be resolved at this level.

And finally, we note that kindergartens are now overcrowded, and if you get a place, this does not mean at all that you should turn a blind eye to all sorts of little things. Protecting the rights of the child in kindergarten is the direct responsibility of kindergarten workers and parents.

Minor children have a special legal status and may enjoy additional privileges. A child attending a preschool institution has the right to protect his interests and self-esteem. It happens that the rights of a child in kindergarten may be violated, and the perpetrators remain unpunished due to the lack of complaints from children. Due to age, a child is not able to defend himself if the offender is an adult (for example, a teacher). That is why the responsibility to protect the rights and interests of the child rests with his parents.

Ways to protect rights

If it is established that a child's rights have been violated by a teacher or other employees of a preschool institution, parents may demand that they be held accountable. Their rights can be protected at several levels:

By contacting the head of the preschool institution.
By filing a complaint with law enforcement agencies.
By writing a written appeal to the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.

The application should outline the problem that has arisen. When the issue is resolved at the internal level, a simple complaint is enough, but when submitting an application to law enforcement agencies, it is impossible to do without clarifying the details. In addition, evidence of an unlawful act has been required.

Parents are obliged to promptly respond to identified violations and take all possible measures to protect their minor children. To do this, they must resort exclusively to legal measures.
