Aesthetic education plays an important role in the formation of the personality of each child . Therefore, many parents give preference to those kindergartens in which there are various sections for their baby. A child grows up day after day, and his desire to learn as much as possible about this world and to know himself is growing at the same rate.
The various work of the circles in the kindergarten is designed to help the child to prove himself earlier and to reveal certain qualities. Today there are certain kindergartens that direct their activities in one direction, for example, they teach children only dancing or prefer learning a foreign language from an early age.
But it is better to opt for an institution where each circle in kindergarten has a different specialization. Suddenly your kid will not like to sing, and he wants to attend the fight? In this case, change the section is not difficult.
How to choose the right circle for the child?
Since you are probably still not sure about your baby’s tastes, you will choose a kindergarten that has comprehensively developing mugs. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the baby should not attend more than 2-3 sections at the same time. Otherwise, he will be very tired, and he will quickly get tired of working even in these circles interesting to him. Children under 3 years old do not need to register at all circles - at that age, one thing will be enough.
Mugs in kindergartens can be the most diverse:
- dance;
- theatrical;
- vocal;
- Painting;
- modeling (from clay, plasticine, dough);
- intellectual;
- sports.
Choosing the best option for the baby, it is worth starting from what he already knows. So you will help him develop this quality to the fullest. If your child just can’t sit still, give him to drawing and to the sports section. Exercise and a meaningful image of the details on paper can calm the baby.
Dancing in kindergarten
The most popular is a dance club in kindergarten. Almost all children like to move to music, so this section will be able to direct their energy in the right direction.
A lesson in this circle is aimed at the correct setting of posture, the position of the legs and arms, develops the rhythm and hearing of the kids. Most importantly, dancing teaches children to breathe and be sturdy.
It is very important that children have the opportunity to perform on stage, even if they are in the kindergarten itself. This will help kids get rid of shyness and become more self-confident. Some dance clubs can even take part in various district and city events.
Children can attend a dance club starting from 3 years old.
Criteria for choosing a dance club
If your choice fell on a dance club in kindergarten, then the child can be given to almost any institution where he is. It is important to consider only a few simple rules:
1. Find out as much information as possible about this circle in all kindergartens that interest you. Talk about this with the director of the institution, the choreographer, and the parents of the children who visit him.
2. Inspect your child’s room. It should be clean, easily ventilated, with mirrors and dance machines.
3. The most important point: this circle must be to the liking of the baby. Otherwise, nothing good will come of it if you force him to attend a dance studio.
The dance club may also have its own specific focus. It can be folk, ballroom or pop dances. Be sure that the program of each of them includes classical choreography, which will help the baby to properly hold his back, head, and avoid flat feet.
Vocal group in kindergarten
No less popular in children's institutions is the vocal section. In addition to the fact that the kids love to dance, they also love to sing, even without knowing the words of the song.
The vocal circle in the kindergarten is designed for the child to learn musical notation, rhythm, and will be able to develop singing abilities and natural musicality. In this section, the baby will also be able to develop proper breathing.
Vocal studio can attend children from three years.
Criteria for choosing a vocal circle
The vocal circle in kindergarten can be of two types:
- Academic vocals. A circle of this direction has a good effect on the development of the baby’s voice and hearing, since it is not limited in possibilities.
- Pop vocals. This studio is not so strict about its charges, but this is not less effective.
But if you are sure that your baby will be a great singer, then it is better to give preference to the first option. When choosing a vocal circle, focus on these aspects:
1. If the baby has good vocal abilities, find out about the availability of individual lessons.
2. A good vocal teacher in the first lesson will be able to tell you for sure whether the kid has vocal data or whether he should choose another circle.
Theatrical club in kindergarten
The next most popular and most visited is the theater club. Children are very fond of fantasizing and imagine themselves as animated and artistic characters. The theater studio will help them become their favorite hero for at least a few minutes. The kid will fully feel himself a certain character and will be in the spotlight.
Theatrical circles in the kindergarten are aimed at revealing the spiritual and creative potential of the individual in children, at developing acting in each participant.
All interested children in the kindergarten can become a participant in the theater studio.
Criteria for choosing a theater club
Before sending a child to a theater club in a kindergarten, it is worth clarifying several basic criteria for quality education in them:
1. First, visit at least one presentation of this circle. This will give you the opportunity to see how well the material is taught to children and how well they absorb it. Ideally, the guys should not be shy and forget their words.
2. Do not bother with how the theater teacher interacts with you. Sometimes these people are very specific, so their practice and skills are more important than just talking.
3. Various certificates and diplomas of the teacher also do not have special significance. Today, such diplomas can be easily bought or even made by yourself.
4. At the end of the lesson, pay attention to how the children leave the lesson. If everyone goes together, then the atmosphere in the theater circle is friendly, but if one at a time, then it is worth thinking about the quality of teaching.
What other circles do kindergartens have?
These three sections are the most popular circles in kindergartens. But not a single institution will stop only at dancing, singing and theater. There is always a lot of interesting things. For example, there is almost always a circle of fine arts in kindergarten, sports (football, basketball, tennis, wrestling), logical sections where children are taught to count, play chess or drafts, and study foreign languages.
Some kindergartens today focus their activities on a particular sport. Taekwondo has become a very popular fight. But this does not prevent the holding of competitions in football, volleyball or other sport among the pupils of kindergartens.
The mandatory program of many kindergartens also includes a foreign language. Most often, children from 3 years old begin to learn English. If you want your kid to learn another language or not start learning it so early, then you should look for an institution aimed at a general education program.
When you are going to send your child to kindergarten, be sure to ask about all the circles that are there. After all, there is a chance that your baby will want to develop a certain talent in himself tomorrow, but there will be no opportunity for this.
