“Labor education of children in the middle group of kindergarten”Target:
Formation of a positive attitude towards work in children 4-5 years of age.
Tasks:
- Cultivate a desire to work.
- Learn to carry out individual and collective assignments, develop the ability to negotiate with the help of a teacher about the distribution of work, and take care of the timely completion of a joint task.
- To instill in children independence, accuracy, mutual assistance, caring for each other and responsibility for a common cause.
- Explain to children the importance of their work.
- Encourage initiative in helping friends and adults.
- Learn to finish what you start.
Types of work of preschool children:
- Self-service.
- Household work.
- Labor in nature.
- Manual labor.
Forms of labor organization:
- Errands.
- Duty roster.
- Collective work (common, joint).
Labor education is an important means of comprehensive development of the personality of a preschooler. The main goal of work is its educational influence on the child’s personality. Work also has a significant impact on the mental development of a child. It requires intelligence, initiative, concentration, and trains memory. In the process of work, adults give children useful knowledge about objects, materials and tools, their purpose and use.
Children in the middle group of kindergarten are characterized by elementary household work - self-service, associated mainly with satisfying their personal needs. Children must master such actions and operations of household activities as: setting the table for lunch, breakfast or afternoon tea, preparing materials for classes, maintaining order in the room and area.
In the middle group, in addition to consolidating previously learned skills, work is being done to develop more complex self-care skills. The children are given the task of providing mutual assistance when getting dressed: tying a scarf, teaching how to tie shoes, helping the baby get dressed, etc.
In the middle group, the content of household labor becomes more complicated mainly due to an increase in the number of processes of this labor. So, at the beginning, under the supervision of a teacher, and by the end of the year, children independently maintain order in the group and in the area, take part in cleaning (wipe shelves, wash toys, etc.). In this age group, children master the integral processes of household labor (washing doll clothes, washing toys, setting the table). This requires children to know specific techniques and operations, and to be able to use them in the right sequence.
You can cultivate in children the ability and desire to work through the organization of work activities:
- Orders
- Joint activities of children with the teacher.
- Responsible for cafeteria and classes.
Assignments are the simplest form of organizing the work activities of preschool children. Errands are widely used in all age groups of kindergarten
In the practice of educational work with children, individual assignments are especially common, less often collective ones, to small subgroups of 2-3 people. Since it is much easier to teach one or two children than a whole group, and monitoring the actions of everyone is more convenient.
Duty duty is a more complex form of organizing children’s work. They require more independence from the child. The attendants learn to carry out the assigned task completely; this requires children to know the sequence of necessary actions.
The volume of tasks for labor education increases from the middle group, reaching a maximum in the senior group. It is in the middle group that children actively master various work skills and techniques of working in nature, household and self-service work.
In the process of labor, children acquire the necessary skills, including the skills of caring for plants and animals (labor in nature), master the simplest operations with objects, learn about materials and their properties (manual labor). Children develop an interest in work and a desire to work (household work, self-service).

Organization of labor activities in a preschool institution
A preschool educational institution operates in premises that meet sanitary and hygienic, anti-epidemic and fire safety requirements, as well as psychological and pedagogical requirements for the improvement of a preschool educational institution, specified in the regulatory documents of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
The operating hours of the preschool educational institution and the length of stay of children in it are as follows:
- Five-day work week during the calendar year;
- 12-hour operating mode;
- Opening hours: 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday;
- Days off: Saturday, Sunday, holidays.
If necessary and taking into account the wishes of parents, it is possible to organize the work of the service group on weekends and holidays by agreement. Children can attend preschool on an individual schedule, which is specified in the parental agreement for each child.
Medical care for children in preschool educational institutions is provided by the health care institution “Khabarovsk Central Regional Hospital” on a contract basis. Medical personnel, together with the administration, are responsible for the health and physical development of children, carrying out preventive and therapeutic measures, as well as for compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards and the quality of nutrition.
A preschool educational institution provides premises with appropriate conditions for the work of medical personnel, controls their work to protect and promote the health of children and employees of the preschool educational institution.
Medical services within the framework of the functional duties of medical personnel of a preschool educational institution are provided free of charge. Additional medical services are paid for by parents (persons replacing them, philanthropists, sponsors) in accordance with the contract.
Employees of preschool educational institutions regularly undergo free medical examinations, which are carried out at the expense of the founders.
The preschool institution independently determines the needs for material resources and food products, acquires them on a contractual basis from state, cooperative and other trade organizations, subject to permission from the sanitary and epidemiological control services for their use in the preschool institution.
A preschool educational institution provides a balanced diet for children necessary for normal growth and development, taking into account the operating hours of the institution.
The administration of the preschool institution is responsible for organizing meals.
Control over the quality of food and compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements for nutrition is assigned to the head nurse of the preschool institution.
To achieve its statutory goals, the educational institution may enter into various associations as an independent institution on a contractual basis.
A powerful enriching factor in the development of children is the sociocultural environment and its subject environment. The development of each child is undoubtedly influenced by the family, its way of life, cultural preferences, the form of employment of elders and the content of family leisure. A kindergarten as an educational center always carries not only the burden of a “programmed” culture, but is also influenced by the cultural aura of a microdistrict, village, city, thereby enriching the lives of children, their experience of activities and experiences in different ways. All these environments: parental home, kindergarten, school, neighborhood, city (village), natural and park landscapes - can become a source of enriching the experience of children’s activities, psyche and personality.
The kindergarten itself, with its variety of premises, their purpose, and the nature of the activities of the people in them, is also a rather interesting microenvironment for the child, in which the first moments of his acquaintance with the world should take place.
The main components of a development specialist's environment include not only group rooms, but also other functional spaces. A child care facility must be owned entirely by children and adults—their educators. Children's institutions are also a kind of cultural center for parents, their club, where they can offer their talents and have their parental expectations met.
The variety of basic components of the development environment allows you to avoid routine and make the pedagogical process informal. After all, if a child is constantly engaged in meaningful and interesting activities, this is already a great pedagogical success. An active, initiative child can only be where he is comfortable, in a warm, cozy home that is open to him, his friends, teachers and parents.
Children should have access to all functional spaces in a children's educational institution, including those intended for adults. Of course, access to adult areas, such as the resource room, kitchen or cleaning room, should be limited, but not prohibited, since adult work is always interesting to children
Selection of diagnostic procedures for the development of working capacity in preschool children
During the 2008-2009 academic year, our kindergarten dealt with the problem of creating conditions for the labor development of preschoolers. The basis for planning the field of “labor education” is the comprehensive educational program “Childhood” by V.I. Loginova.
The organization of the process of creating conditions for the labor education of preschool children is regulated by regulatory documents:
- Charter of the preschool institution:
- Work profiles of nurses and specialists
- Agreement with parents
- Orders for main activities.
Labor education in the program is an obligatory part of the development of the child’s basic and creative abilities, the main means of developing a culture of interpersonal relationships. Labor education is a part of a child’s life from a very early age and is carried out consistently and systematically. The goal is to gradually develop in children (taking into account their age and gender characteristics) an interest in adult work, a desire to work, basic professional skills and pleasure from work.
In accordance with the program, labor education, including its main types: Self-care, work in everyday life and work in nature are systematically carried out from the age of two (from the first crawling group).
Through the main forms of organizing child labor - assignments, compulsory and collective work - the tasks of instilling industriousness in children are solved.
These tasks are solved by familiarizing adults with the work and direct participation of children in feasible labor activities in kindergarten and at home. The role of familiarity with the social orientation of work and its social significance is especially emphasized, and a respectful attitude towards working people is formed.
Each group determines the types and content of children’s work activities, as well as the tasks that are performed during the children’s work. Gradually, from group to group, the tasks of labor education become more complex and expanded. Starting from the second junior group, in the section “Labor in Nature” the subsection “Labor in a corner of nature” is highlighted, and in the senior group manual labor is introduced as an independent type of labor.
By organizing their work activities, our teachers ensure the comprehensive development of children, help them gain confidence in their abilities, develop the necessary skills and abilities, and teach them responsibility and independence. Our teachers try to organize work so that it activates their physical strength and mental activity, gives them pleasure and makes them feel important and competent.
Our kindergarten teachers take into account the main aspects of managing children’s work activities, namely:
- emphasize the social significance of work;
- ensure that all types of work and their content correspond to the age capabilities of children;
- strictly observe the load standards for children and protect them from overload and overexertion;
- gradually increase children's independence;
- create a favorable psychological atmosphere, develop in children a friendly attitude towards all participants in work activities, and a desire to help each other;
- Direct the attention and efforts of children to perform quality work.
In the process of each type of work, our teachers solve the problems of the comprehensive education and development of the child: spiritual, physical, moral and aesthetic. In different types of work activities, children master ways of operating with various tools, which, according to psychologists, contributes to the mental and physical development of preschoolers. They develop fine motor skills, develop manual dexterity and improve hand-eye coordination. They develop the ability to act accurately and accurately, to finish what they start, to show patience and perseverance to achieve results.
A job well done gives children a sense of satisfaction that they can do something meaningful.
The most effective methods of labor education are explanation and demonstration. No less important methods are game situations, game techniques, encouragement, and the use of poetic texts, songs, and nursery rhymes.
To achieve the goals of the labor pedagogy program, various forms of methodological work are used: seminars, consultations, exhibitions, competitions, master classes, open exhibitions, generalization of the best teaching methods.
The essence of the card index and the purpose of its compilation
Definition 1
A card index is a collection of certain data that is organized in a certain way, most often the information is located on small cards.
A card index is a kind of catalog in which each card is a separate information unit that carries certain information about a specific stored object.

- Accustoming children to work in the kindergarten garden and plot (sowing seeds, watering, weeding, harvesting).
- Encouraging children for their desire to independently perform duty duties (in the dining room, in the living area, etc.).
- Improving the ability to undress and dress independently, carefully hang and fold your clothes. To instill in children the desire to be neat and tidy.

The advantage of using a card index when working with children is that it allows you to reuse the educational material accumulated by the teacher, making adjustments if necessary. This allows the teacher to significantly save his own time and effort. There are a large number of options for modeling file cabinets. The teacher’s task is to choose the most convenient and functional option for him.
