Golden aerie of childhood
Kindergarten is the first stage of the education in the International College of Continuous Education. It is an adaptive pre-school institution where work is built on considering individual peculiarities and abilities of each child. It is the kindergarten where restlessness is considered as cheerfulness, curiosity is considered as inquisitiveness and laziness is considered as tiredness.
The kindergarten guarantees children’s comfortable entry into the educational space providing all-round development for each child on the base of psychological and pedagogical diagnostics.
Educational programmes of the kindergarten provide diagnostics, overall development and correction for pre-school children; prepare them for the school work and collaborative activity through the development of social, research, thinking and self-management skills.
