In terms of its significance, the most important room in a preschool educational institution is the group room. This is where the children spend most of their time in the kindergarten.

In the group, children play, gain the necessary knowledge, eat and even sleep. This happens when the design features of the room do not provide for the presence separate room for children's sleep and relaxation.

As a rule, in middle and senior groups preschool age, the group room combines several functions, among which are the following:

  • games room;
  • a place for conducting developmental and training sessions;
  • dining room;
  • bedroom.

Therefore, a group room must be carefully thought out and designed taking into account the delineation of these important functional areas. By the way, sanitary standards for the activities of a preschool educational institution also require the presence of clearly demarcated and separated zones, and such requirements are completely justified.

Furniture in a group.

First of all, it is necessary to pay special attention for placing furniture in a group room. IN standard version Each kindergarten group must have the following pieces of furniture:

  • Tables and chairs for children- selected taking into account the growth of each child. There are clearly defined sanitary standards in this regard, which indicate how high a table and chair should be for a child of a certain height.

There is a specific color coding for the height of tables and chairs. In addition, each high chair should have a picture by which the child can remember his high chair and distinguish it from others. Ideally, the markings should be the same: on the chair, on the reception cabinet, on the towel rack and on the headboard. This will make it easier for the child to navigate, and he will be able to quickly find the items he needs.

  • Toy cabinets- must also be of a certain height for preschoolers of each age group. In this case, cabinets must have additional fastening on the walls. This is done to comply with safety precautions so that the cabinet does not tip over if a child carelessly leans on or climbs on it.

It is also necessary to choose cabinets for storing toys, taking into account that the material from which they are made can be easily processed detergents and clean from dirt. In kindergartens, sanitary and hygienic treatment of furniture is carried out regularly, so cabinets must be made of moisture-resistant materials or covered with a protective layer of paint.

  • Manual cabinets— designed for storing educational and developmental aids, as well as special pedagogical literature. They can be of any height, because only the teacher has access to them.

But according to sanitary standards A prerequisite is additional fastening of the cabinet to the wall surface. It is also desirable that the color of the cabinets match the overall color scheme of the group room in the kindergarten.

  • Table and chair for teacher- also very necessary pieces of furniture in a group room. Ideally, their design should match the overall style of the group.

Sometimes, to save space in a group room, the teacher’s desk and chair are placed in the reception room, which is also a reception room. This is also very convenient, because the teacher has the opportunity to mark the children’s attendance on the attendance sheet, and at the same time talk with parents on many organizational issues.

  • Beds for children- placed in a group room only if there is no separate room for the bedroom. Beds in kindergarten can be regular or bunk, which are also often used to save space.

It must be remembered that for toddlers and toddlers junior group Only single-tier low beds are suitable, but for children of middle and older preschool age you can use bunk beds, which, if necessary, can be covered on the sides with a protective net to prevent the child from falling during sleep.

Beds in kindergarten can be made from materials based on, as well as metal. But this is, rather, a trend of past years, because metal beds in kindergartens remain from Soviet times.

  • Carpet on the floor a group room is also a necessary attribute to ensure that children do not sit on a cold, uncovered floor surface. However, there is no need to use a carpet if the technology ““ is used in finishing the floor covering.

Instead of carpets, you can use bright and colorful mats of modern design. They have a lot of advantages - the surface of the mats is easier to handle in case of contamination. In addition, the mat is much softer than, and this will help prevent injuries and bruises when the child falls.

Group artwork.

For artistic decoration of the walls of a group room in a kindergarten, they often use various types available materials are colored cardboard, ORACAL self-adhesive film, as well as many types of finishing materials that can be used in a completely unusual and unusual form.

For example, as a starting material for making figurines of fairy-tale animals or cartoon characters, you can use ordinary ceiling tiles made of polystyrene foam, which are sold in every hardware store. Ceiling tiles are inexpensive, and it is easy to cut figures of any shape from them using ordinary scissors or a sharp knife. In addition, the image turns out to be a little voluminous, which makes it more attractive in decorative terms.

Also, to create various compositions, ceiling plinths, also made of expanded polystyrene or polystyrene, are used. They are inexpensive, lightweight and very convenient for making various decorative parts.

Decorating corners in a group.

In kindergarten groups for preschoolers different ages it is necessary to organize the registration of many thematic corners.

  • "Our mood"
  • "Privacy Corner"
  • "Information for Parents"
  • "Patriotic education"
  • "Corner of independent creativity"
  • "Music Corner"
  • "Traffic Laws"
  • "Nature and the world around us"

  • "Corner of Physical Education and Sports"
  • "Sensory Corner"
  • "Book Corner"
  • "Local History Corner"
  • "Health Corner"
  • "Protecting life safety"
  • "Fine Arts Corner"
  • "Duty Corner"

The design of thematic corners in the group room of the kindergarten is carried out by the teacher, as well as the most active representatives of the parent committee. At the same time, it is important to show imagination and creativity in order to use corners to make the interior of the group unusual, but at the same time interesting and attractive for children.

Plot-based role-playing games.

The most important role in raising children is played by role-playing games. With their help, the child learns about the world and acquires basic knowledge about everyday and professional activities of people. For preschoolers of various age groups, there are the following types of role-playing games:

  • " Salon"
  • "Builders" ("Building a house")
  • "Family" ("Daughters - Mothers")
  • "Drivers"
  • “Birthday” (“We welcome guests”)
  • "Doctor Aibolit"
  • "Dining room" ("In the cafe")
  • "Zoo"
  • " Kindergarten"
  • "Cosmonauts"
  • "In the library"
  • " Journey"
  • "Traffic rules"
  • " School"

Props for most role-playing games can be bought at a toy store, but for some games they simply are not available, and therefore many teachers prefer to make them themselves, using a variety of available materials and techniques. One can only envy the imagination of educators who are able to create the most incredible things from such simple and most ordinary elements! Just look at colorful cakes made from a dishwashing sponge, polystyrene candies in colorful wrappers, or a loaf of sausage made from foam rubber!

Thus, props for role-playing games, in some way, can also become part of the interior design of a group room, because some games contain too much large number elements and require a separate corner in the room.

The procedure for registering a disability for a child is almost no different from the procedure for registering a disability for an adult.
