In any kindergarten, many employees work, each of which performs its function. Sometimes it's even hard to know who to ask this or that question. Take, for example, an ordinary kindergarten. In addition to the administration in the person of the head, her deputy for the AHCH and a senior educator, there are:
- The basic structure of teachers (the teacher, the musical director, физрук and the instructor on swimming);
- Specialists in correction of deviations in children (speech therapist, teacher-psychologist);
- Teachers engaged in additional education (on ecology, rhythm, visual, theatrical and gaming activities and a foreign language);
- Medical workers (senior nurse, pool nurse , dietician);
- Junior attendants (junior tutor).
To whom is it better to address parents, and who is closer to the child?
Who is the nanny?
The younger teacher for children and their parents is better known as a "nanny". She is always there and will come to the rescue at any moment. The duties of the junior educator are clearly spelled out in the job description. All activities of the nurse are aimed at creating an atmosphere of the greatest psychological comfort and emotional calmness. Everything that children know how, they learn from adults. That's why next to them outside the house there should be people worthy of imitation. In the duties of a junior educator, first and foremost is to provide all possible assistance to the educator in the organization of the educational and upbringing process. Everyday work with children seems easy at first sight. All activities should be interesting, necessary and not boring. It largely depends on who conducts them. It is necessary to be able to interest children, to make the learning process similar to an exciting game. During such classes, the younger educator is obliged to ensure the safety of the health and life of young children.
In addition, the nanny should monitor the cleanliness of the premises. All rooms must necessarily meet certain sanitary and hygienic requirements. This includes wet cleaning, changing clothes, as well as sanitation toys and utensils. Another responsibility of the younger educator is the organization of food intake by children. To do this, he is obliged to deliver food from the kitchen and help in their distribution. Senior pupils are involved in arranging table appointments. After eating, the younger teacher should clean and wash the dishes. Organization of children's sleep is also "lying on the shoulders" of nannies. She is obliged to help the children change their clothes, put them to bed, and then watch that nothing disturbs their sleep. After a quiet hour of children, it is again necessary to dress and prepare for developmental pursuits. This is also included in the duties of a junior educator.
For a healthy lifestyle
Kids in the kindergarten every day should walk in the fresh air. This is an obligatory condition for a healthy lifestyle. The duties of the junior kindergarten teacher are to dress the children, and after the walk help them undress and make sure that they have performed all the hygiene procedures. In those pre-school institutions where there is a swimming pool, the nanny renders all possible assistance to the nurse in carrying out the hardening procedures. Together with specialists, she also participates in the educational process to prevent various kinds of deviations and bad habits among pupils. In this case, she herself must comply with the rules of labor protection and fire safety. If an accident occurred with someone from the children, it is the younger teacher who is obliged to provide him with simple first aid, and then to contact the medical officer and immediately notify the management of the kindergarten.
Significant difference
Sometimes a junior educator is mistakenly confused with an assistant educator. Yes, in the 90s there was such a specialty. "Assistant" replaced at that time nannies and nurses. But time goes on, and now it's not enough just to wash the baby's hands and put him to sleep. The official duties of the junior educator are much broader. Now he must take a direct part in all the activities organized by the group's educator for children. This requires a certain level of education and additional training. Therefore, the post of junior educator is supposed to accept candidates with higher or secondary special education. You can not pay attention to work experience. This, of course, affects the salary level of the employee, as well as all social benefits provided for by the country's labor laws.
