Rating of the best correctional kindergartens in St. Petersburg in 2022

Kindergarten is the first stage for adaptation in society. A solid foundation is the key to success in all endeavors. Many children, in order to get a good foothold in the beginning of life, need additional help on top of the tasks that they perform daily. For this, there are correctional gardens in which a special approach is practiced to a child with mental or physical disabilities. The review was compiled by the best correctional children's institutions in the city of St. Petersburg for 2022 with their pros and cons.

General information about correctional kindergartens - selection criteria

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

Table - "Varieties of kindergartens and their features"

Type of:	For which children:	Main learning objectives / description of the institution:
Corrective:	frequently ill or with specific congenital (acquired) health disorders (for example, cerebral palsy, vision or hearing problems)	eliminate health problems, help children adapt, develop properly, learn to establish contact and be trained at the 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	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 mentally retarded	a 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, they use the softer wording “compensating organizations”.

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

The question of where to support and teach a child, parents ask already a year later, after the birth of a child. In this short period, thanks to the close observation of doctors, homework and education, it can be determined whether he has any deviations.

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

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

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

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

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

There are many orthopedic educational institutions. Defects in babies in this area can be identified immediately. However, recovery is a long and laborious process, which is facilitated by specialized kindergartens for parents. Recommendations and referral for admission to a specific preschool institution are issued by an orthopedist.

The mental development of the child is disturbed for various reasons. In this case, an examination to visit the relevant institution is issued after a general conclusion (more than one specialist examines the child).

If the functionality of the motor apparatus is impaired in a baby, then staying in a regular garden is unacceptable for him.

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

Choosing a correctional institution for preschoolers - tips

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

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

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

What else to look for when choosing a corrective kindergarten? One of the important indicators is the location and work schedule. It is necessary 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 educator's work.

You need to pay attention to the type of institution. Kindergarten can be private or public. If a state preschool institution requires payment only for food and education with the opportunity to receive preferential terms 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 higher than in budget organizations.
