Rating of the best correctional kindergartens in St. Petersburg in 2024

Kindergarten is the first step for adaptation in society. A solid foundation is the key to success in all endeavors. Many children, in order to gain a foothold at the beginning of their life, need additional help in addition to the tasks that they perform daily. For this, there are correctional gardens, which practice a special approach to a child with mental or physical disabilities. The review was compiled by the best correctional children's institutions of the city of St. Petersburg for 2024 with their pros and cons.

General information about correctional kindergartens - selection criteria

Many parents have a number of questions about remedial gardens, to which, in a short context, you can find out the answers (set out below). In fact, there are such types of gardens as correctional, compensating and combined.

How to choose the right institution? Each type of kindergarten teaches and accepts children according to its own rules. But first, you need to understand what is the difference between the three types of these establishments.

Table - "Varieties of kindergartens and their features"

A type:	For which children:	Main learning objectives / description of the institution:
Correctional:	are often ill or with specific congenital (acquired) health problems (eg, cerebral palsy, vision or hearing problems)	eliminate health problems, help children adapt, develop correctly, learn to establish contact and undergo training at a level with other pupils
Compensatory:	without deviations in intellectual development, but for one reason or another find it difficult to master the general education program	to create a rehabilitating space around the pupil, eliminate violations of working capacity and arbitrary regulation of activity, protect and strengthen physical and neuropsychic health
Combined:	healthy and with mental retardation	kindergarten with a specialized class and regular groups

Note! It is generally accepted that correctional and compensatory gardens are essentially the same meaning, therefore, in the names of institutions, a softer wording "compensating organizations" is used.

Individual characteristics of children as an important criterion when choosing a kindergarten

The question of where to support and teach the child, parents ask themselves a year after the birth of the child.In this short period, thanks to the close supervision of doctors, homework and education, it is possible to determine if he has any deviations.

Correction class (group) - small groups in which children are in one specific indicator. These include the guys:

• sick often;
• with general speech underdevelopment (OHP);
• with disorders of the visual organ;
• with disorders of the skeletal system;
• with mental retardation (PDD);
• with problems of the musculoskeletal system.

The first category includes babies who are often susceptible to viral and other diseases. You can get to a special educational institution with such a feature according to the conclusion of a pediatrician (the certificate is prepared for 6-12 months).

The group with OHP includes pupils with a speech impairment inherent in the younger generation of preschool age, as well as various types of pathology, without the correction of which the child will not be able to master the skills of writing and reading. In fact, this is a speech therapy class, by graduation from which the level of the pupil will correspond to the speech development of his peers. To visit a speech therapy corrective kindergarten, you need to have a speech therapist's conclusion.

Strabismus, low vision, blindness and other eye diseases that limit the baby's perception of the surrounding pictures - a ticket to a correctional class prescribed by an optometrist.

There are many orthopedic educational institutions. Defects in babies in this area can be identified immediately. However, recovery is a long and time-consuming process that is made easier for parents by specialized kindergartens. Recommendations and referrals for admission to a specific preschool institution are issued by an orthopedist.

The mental development of the child is impaired for various reasons. In this case, the examination for visiting the relevant institution is issued after a general conclusion (the child is examined by more than one specialist).

If a baby has a functional impairment of the locomotor system, then staying in a regular garden is unacceptable for him.

The profile of the correctional group is the treatment and teaching of pupils.

Choosing a correctional institution for preschoolers - tips

Based on the knowledge of what kindergartens are, the specialization is chosen, first of all. Then, an important criterion is the inner atmosphere and arrangement of the group.

Note! Some institutions hold an "Open Day", where parents and children can safely visit the kindergarten and get answers to all their questions. This will allow you to find out if the child likes the group or will have to go in search of a new one.

For preschoolers, a leader is very important. If the baby has a negative attitude towards the teacher, then the desire to go to kindergarten and learn from him will not, which can provoke changes in the nervous system. In this regard, any educational institution sets the terms of the adaptation period, after which the parent's answer is finally accepted: whether this institution will visit their offspring.

What else to look for when choosing a corrective kindergarten? Location and work routines are important metrics. You need to choose an institution in such a way that it is convenient to get and pick up your son / daughter, without prejudice to your and the teacher's work.

You need to pay attention to the type of institution. A kindergarten can be private or public. If a public preschool institution requires payment only for food and education with the opportunity to receive preferential conditions of stay, then in a private one you will have to pay a lot, since the degree of work with pupils and the arrangement of the territory and rooms is of a higher level than in budgetary organizations.
