“Our biennial will go to kindergarten in September. A new environment unknown to us and the child. The stress that would be normal in such circumstances is compounded by a pandemic. Usually, during adjustment, mothers could stay in the group with the child for a while, see what conditions, meet the educators and tell more about the child. Now everything is different. Take the child to the door of the nursery and voila. Nowhere else is it possible ” 15 minutes Vaida from Klaipeda said.
The meeting reassured parents
The mother, who was invited to the meeting in the kindergarten yard, heard from the kindergarten secretary that conditions would be different this fall and that everything would be “just strict.”
“It just came to our attention then. All of the mothers were concerned about one thing: if the fathers wouldn’t actually see the groups, they wouldn’t be able to keep the babies. We were very happy when the director dispelled the anxiety: for the first two weeks, mothers will be able to accompany children to groups to spend time with them. That is already a lot, “said the Klaipėda citizen.

Dovilė, who takes her daughter to a kindergarten in Plungė, said that here the kindergarten management will allow the children to group together during the adjustment period and help them to enter the group.
Then we will have to leave. The educators said that if the child did not rest 15 minutes, the parents would be called
“It just came to our attention then. The educators said that if the child did not rest 15 minutes, they would call the parents,” said the woman. She did not hide the fact that the time with that name after which the parents would be called resulted be pretty short. “It sounded pretty strange, don’t you just give up too quickly? The elder’s adaptation was quite complicated, he cried for an hour, but the educators were in no hurry to call us and invite us, ”the interlocutor was surprised. Still, she was glad that kindergartens were generally working and she was able to go to work. “I agree that at this time it is generally a pleasure that the kindergartens are working. I hope to be able to sit at home again in a month,” said Dovilė.
Julija from Vilnius said that during the meeting they were told that the educators would welcome the children outside and that the parents would not be able to enter the building. “Strict procedures have been adopted, but this is a condition for the operation of the kindergarten”, 15 minutes said the woman.
It will take into account the needs of the child.
“How do we meet in September? Of course happy! There is no shortage of concerns, but we are happy to work. ” 15 minutes said Loreta Žiliuvienė, director of the Žilvitis kindergarten in Klaipėda. She said the decision had been made at the nursery that nursery parents would not have to leave their young on the fence during the adjustment period.
Diana Varkalienė, director of the Radastėlė kindergarten in another port city 15 minutes It said it was challenged on May 18, when kindergartens were allowed to work to ease quarantine conditions.
“It was necessary to review the territories, find the roads, who will go where and how,” said the head of the educational institution. In summer, the children spent more time outdoors and the areas were marked.
In September, according to D.Varkalienė, the biggest challenge is expected: the little visitors and their adaptation. Autumn is usually louder until you get used to the order in kindergartens and say goodbye to parents without tears.

“We want to assure parents that the children will be welcome. The older ones will say goodbye to their parents outside and go to the group with the educator. The parents will be able to take the little ones to the group for a while,” said the director about the procedure.
In the summer, educators greeted children outside. This practice has paid off. It was noted that the older people even gained more self-confidence and gladly walked to the playground of their own group, where the educator was waiting.
In summer, the children of Radastėlė spent more time outdoors. As the pandemic continues, efforts will continue to be made to spend more time outdoors, moving there, and the curriculum.
Virginija Letukienė, director of the Puriena kindergarten, said this year is not exceptional.
“It just came to our notice then. We promote the practice of allowing parents to be admitted to a group only in exceptional cases. Usually he brings up the group and kindly says goodbye. And this year, if we see that a child needs desperately a mother, we will respect the well-being of the child and let the mother in for a short time. During the adaptation period, we will add 2-3 new children to the group each week, if all goes well, “said the director.
The kindergarten is designed so that the parents who direct the children do not have much contact. “The pools are sufficiently isolated. We have already seen in summer that we can arrange the flows in a fairly orderly manner. Therefore, no major innovations are expected in September,” said V. Letukienė.
Psychologist: “It is not advisable to stay too long for mom or dad”
Žaneta Simutytė-Jogminienė, preschool counseling psychologist at Klaipėda Psychological Pedagogical Service, said that the way a child stays in kindergarten depends to a large extent on his own maturity and the parents’ preparation.

“Parents generally feel better about how their children manage to adjust to the new environment. Educators can also easily see from a professional point of view which child may have a more difficult adaptation, and for whom it will be easier to separate from their parents and integrate perfectly into the team, ”said the specialist.
According to her, it is natural that some children need more time to get used to the kindergarten environment.
“But the time that the mother is with the child in the group does not have to be long. Eventually, the child will find that the mother of the group is normal. But one day that time will come and Mom will have to go. The adaptation process, whether the mother leaves sooner or later, will always take place at her own pace. Therefore, it is better not to stay, bring the child and say goodbye to the group, “said the interlocutor.
According to the psychologist, the decision to prevent children from carrying toys in groups is also welcome. It is better to find a “lover” in the group and know that she will be expecting a child each morning when she comes to the group.
