The first
group in Yudino for 12 children with disabilities will open in the renovated
kindergarten № 62. The renovated preschool has music and physical education
halls, engineering and road safety classrooms, speech therapy and
multifunctional classrooms. At the same time, the kindergarten will specialize
in environmental education. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin got acquainted
with the work of the preschool for 200 children.
“We pay
great attention to the construction and renovation of social facilities. Kazan
keeps the pace in construction along with Moscow and St. Petersburg. Over the
past 10 years, we have built 177 social facilities, including 90 kindergartens
and 25 schools. In addition, we are renovating social facilities. Now we are visiting
kindergarten in the village of Yudino for 200 children. The institution has
been beautifully renovated, local residents love this neighborhood very much,”-
the head of the city noted.
After the
renovation, the kindergarten “Turgai” built in 1970 has ten groups. “The very
first and only group in the entire village of Yudino for children with
disabilities will be opened in our kindergarten. We have organized a space
where children, together with teachers and parents, can practice finger
gymnastics. It is necessary to include classes for the development of fine
motor skills,”- said Elena Sokolikova, acting head of the kindergarten.
At the same
time, the preschool will be focused on environmental education. Thematic spaces
are equipped for children, for example, a training wall with footprints of
animals living in Russia. There is also a laboratory where teachers and
children conduct experiments.
“There is a
century-old pine forest near the kindergarten, which is conducive to
environmental education. Kindergarten teachers have prepared a special program
in this area, which is very important. If children grow up with this knowledge
from childhood, then we will get a completely different environmentally
friendly city,”- Ilsur Metshin noted.
On the
second floor of the preschool, Ilsur Metshin looked around children's locker
rooms, where mobile hooks are used. So, depending on the season, they can be
used as needed in different places. In order to save space, mobile towel rails
were installed.
The head of
the city also visited the music hall, where, on the eve of the birthday of the
poet Gabdulla Tukai, children learned a song in the Tatar language. Despite the
fact that the groups are taught in Russian, there are classes of the Tatar
language as well.
