Interior features in kindergarten
Decorating rooms for games and activities allows you to zoning the space and optimally use visual attributes in the process of raising and developing a child.
In addition to permanent corners with toys, construction sets and materials for manual labor, stands and shelves with children’s work are organized, which are periodically updated.
Thematic exhibitions with crafts and drawings complement the theme of the matinees; they can change in accordance with the seasons and holiday dates.
To create an exhibition board for drawings, the most suitable material is considered to be a lightweight cork sheet on which the paper can be fixed using buttons. It can be rectangular or with a curly cut.
The cork board is installed on a wooden, plastic or aluminum frame, which is firmly fixed to the wall. The surface of the stand can be painted or decorated with figures made of self-adhesive paper.
To create a display board, the content of which is updated daily, you can use a frame with stretched fabric, while the drawings are secured with safety pins.
Making your own passe-partout and special pockets for paper is an integral part of decorating corners in kindergarten.
The ability to abandon buttons and other metal fasteners will protect children and they will be able to change exhibits on their own.
To place bulky crafts, it is convenient to use narrow wall shelves. You can creatively add images of fairy-tale characters in poses supporting stands for figurines made by children into the background of the design.
The role of corners in children's development
Let's start with the fact that the design of corners in kindergarten is of great importance, especially for children. The child spends most of his time here. And everything fundamental in character, behavior and habits is laid down from a very early age. That is why preschool childhood is an important period in the life of every child. At this stage, he gains experience in social relations, gets to know society, learns to communicate with people, becomes familiar with acceptable forms of behavior and learns to follow them.
For proper and harmonious development, it is important for a child to communicate with peers. This is one of the main reasons why children are sent to kindergarten. Factors such as parents’ employment, the need for adaptation and training, and much more also play an important role.
Children spend a lot of time in kindergarten and their activities there are very diverse: from outdoor games to quiet activities with a teacher. That is why properly organized play areas in kindergarten are of great importance for the development of preschoolers.
The atmosphere in the kindergarten should be such that the child wants to come there. This is especially true for the younger group, because the children have just begun to get used to a new life and a new team, and for the first time they began to be separated from mom and dad for a long time. Everything should help ensure that the process of adaptation to kindergarten is painless. The design of the kindergarten is also of great importance.
The design of a group in kindergarten should not be bright and flashy. Let the light background prevail. Depicting an excessive number of cartoon and fairy-tale characters on the walls is not always justified, especially if these images are large in size. The kid should not be afraid of the huge turtle from the cartoon, which he still does not know at all. It needs to be something educational. For example, the theme of the seasons, because children in the younger group are still very young and are just beginning to learn what snow, rain, and leaves on trees are. The size of the images should not exceed the norm, because the age characteristics of children do not yet allow them to focus their gaze well enough to distinguish large objects.
The knowledge and skills acquired by a child in kindergarten are the basis for his successful education in primary school. Here, teachers unobtrusively, often in a playful way, help the child get acquainted with some school knowledge: numbers, letters, and attend nature and creativity lessons. Classes are held in the form of marathons, competitions, lessons, and holidays. It should also be noted that the child independently studies the information available to him. How can group corners designed by the teacher in kindergarten help?
When thinking about the design of a group in a kindergarten, it would be advisable to divide it into zones. The usual zoning of a group in a kindergarten is: bedroom, dining room, play area and activity area, but additional options can be provided.
There should, of course, be no distracting images where children sleep, as well as in the dining room. But we should talk about developmental zones in kindergarten in more detail.

The environment is an important factor in the upbringing and development of a child. What interior items, the color of walls, stairs , paintings, photographs surround a child largely determine the formation of his aesthetic taste. If he is surrounded by warm, light tones, correctly selected harmonious colors, then he will learn to see and appreciate the beautiful and harmonious in his surroundings. Therefore, in our kindergarten we pay great attention to the design of not only groups and halls, but also halls , staircases , and corridors . So that they, as they say, “pleasant the eye”
, were functional and distinguished by high aesthetics.
Our garden is large, three-story, with 16 groups functioning in it. The groups are located in 4 halls and we call them by color: “green, blue, pink and lilac halls .”
How to decorate a group for the New Year?
Kindergarten teachers are inventive people; as a rule, they decorate the group for the New Year on their own, without resorting to the expensive services of designers. Here are a few ideas to help them. Someone will find something new for themselves, and someone will remember the well-forgotten old.
The theater begins with a hanger, and the kindergarten group begins with the front door and lockers for clothes. The door can be decorated with a wreath, the basis of which is a wire frame and green paper or tinsel. Purchased or homemade snowflakes, fairy-tale figurines, decorative candies, and small “gift bags” will complement the New Year’s composition. You can decorate cabinet doors with the same items, attaching them to the top so that children are not tempted to rip them off.
You can put a small Christmas tree in a group, provided that it does not interfere with activities and games, and does not risk being knocked over. It is better to do without garlands and glass toys. The kids are curious. Such decorations can be dangerous for them, and sparkling lights will not allow them to fully rest during the daytime nap.
You can draw a Christmas tree on a piece of whatman paper and attach it to the wall. An original decoration for this beauty will be photographs of children or toys made by them themselves. Another option is a competition among parents for the best miniature Christmas tree. What is important here is not victory, but participation. A parade of a wide variety of Christmas trees will make the group look amazing for the New Year.
You can also involve parents in decorating walls and ceilings. A fairy tale can be easily created using improvised means. The walls can be painted with special paints or gouache, and decorated with crafts made from fabric, paper, and foil. Light paper figures or balls - hang from the ceiling.
Garlands and snowflakes are also attached there, which children are happy to make themselves. Let them actively cut out decorations (picks here) and take part in decorating their group.
Kindergarten design: 50 photo ideas
A preschool educational institution is an organization where primary public education of children is carried out, the first link of public education in most developed countries. Toddlers and older preschoolers are in kindergarten from about seven in the morning until five or seven in the evening, learning the minimum necessary communication skills, playing, and preparing for school. To prevent separation from parents for the whole day from being too traumatic for the baby, conditions similar to those at home are created in the preschool educational institution - an abundance of toys, friendly teachers, and the opportunity to sleep during the day. An important factor is the design of the kindergarten - beautiful, comfortable premises, safe areas.
How to design a corridor in a kindergarten
December 16, 2013
Author KakSimply!
The corridor in a kindergarten is an important room in the institution, since it is through it that children walk hand in hand with their parents to their groups, and it is the one that first catches the eye of people entering the room. The final mood of those present and working in it depends on how the corridor of the children's institution is decorated.
Instructions
You can decorate the kindergarten corridor in a standard and extremely neat manner. Hang classic tulle curtains in it, paint the walls of the room cream or pink, and lay out the floors with ceramic tiles. It will be standard, correct, but not entirely comfortable. After all, this is the corridor of the room where many children live who love bright colors and drawings. You can add variety to the classic interior of a children's room by painting flowers and small animals on its walls with oil or acrylic paints. Hang panels, stands, and children's drawings from kindergarten students in frames on the walls. Decorating a room with green spaces is always beneficial, especially for a kindergarten. Place pots with climbing plants along the corridor, which over time will weave greenery around the windows and other parts of the room. You can install a tub with a ficus or palm tree, date tree, lemon tree in the corner of the corridor. Children really like large green plants.
Make a fairy-tale corner at the end of the corridor where you can build a house for the prince and princess, or plant an old man with an old woman and a broken trough according to a fairy-tale plot, or arrange a symbolic pond with artificial frogs, water lilies and river pebbles.
The walls of the kindergarten, painted with Khokhloma or decorated with products and children's toys made in this artistic style, look very harmonious.
Hang on the walls of the kindergarten in the corridor applications cut out of colored paper, multi-colored ribbons with inscriptions, wall newspapers with the faces of the pupils, with photographs of their work and achievements in the garden, with photographs of musical and dance events held in the institution.
Invite to cooperation students from art schools and art institutes, volunteers with artistic painting skills who could paint the walls of the children's room colorfully based on approved sketches.

Decorating a group in a kindergarten with your own hands: ideas for creativity
For you, parents!
This poster should contain file frames with useful information for parents. It is usually hung on the entrance group. On one poster there are columns for filling in for different groups, since usually there is not so much information for parents who can “be patient” and wait for the parents’ attention. Bring something important for the next week, information about upcoming vaccinations, etc...
Nature calendar
The nature calendar is a stand that will help children learn the characteristics of each season. It will be interesting to make images of clothes that are suitable for each weather under the pictures of summer, winter, spring and autumn.
Our crafts
A stand with children's crafts can become the main decoration of each group's room. Of course, children usually take their most favorite crafts with them, but a lot of creations remain in the group, which means they need to be put to use!
Menu for the week
A stand that will be interesting for children to make every week, and interesting for parents to look at every day! After all, nutrition is one of the most important aspects for harmonious child development. This menu poster will definitely be popular!
Favorite holiday
A very interesting stand on which you can hang information about the next birthday person. So both teachers and children will not forget to congratulate him on this memorable day.
Our lockers
It will be useful to hang a stand near children's lockers with information on how to properly put away clothes, as well as in what order to put them on.
Color palette
Rooms with windows facing north are painted in warm colors - beige, light yellow, orange-pink, peach. “Southern” rooms are decorated in cold colors – light blue, pale green, soft violet. Up to 25% of the area can be painted more brightly, but use a minimal amount of aggressive colors.
With the help of color, rooms are zoned - individual places are highlighted with bright colors and pictures.
How do different colors affect children?
Design of individual rooms or zoning
Zoning of space occurs by dividing it into functional zones with defining boundaries.
What are the boundaries?
Flexible zoning is preferred - prefabricated cabinet structures, sliding partitions, screens, transparent screens. Children often take a direct part in zoning, together with their teachers. Platform podiums with fences and various partitions are often used - straight, angular, curly, of various heights, widths, lengths. The decorative design of the ceiling on holidays will also become an element of division into zones - these are flags, balloons, paper garlands.
Senior groups are often located on the second floor, so the safety and aesthetic appearance of the stairs should also be taken care of. The walls along them should be beautifully decorated - for example, there should be an exhibition of graphic and painting works by students.
Play and study room
Most often, children play and eat in the same rooms. Furniture is selected according to the height of the children - in the younger and older groups it will vary greatly in height.
The walls are decorated with bright, non-aggressive wallpaper and drawings - developing stories, episodes from fairy tales and cartoons are welcome. In the play area, a soft, warm carpet is laid on the floor. Cabinets, racks for toys, books are selected with minimal risk of injury, are stable, and are well secured. The study area should be sufficiently well lit, visually separated from the play area by a different floor covering, walls, or with the help of partitions. Here children learn to read, write, draw, and sculpt. Zones of various games are separated from each other by decorative houses and screens - a kitchen with a toy set, a railway, a Lego town.
Dining area
The dining room is separated from the playing area by a screen and shelving. For ease of cleaning, do not place a carpet in this place, because children often drop food on the floor, spill it, and scatter it. The furniture here includes tables designed for two to four people, and chairs suitable for the height of the bench. On the wall there is a menu, an explanatory note, which describes and depicts how to properly use a spoon, fork, and napkins. The tables are covered with tablecloths and colorful oilcloths. Cartoon characters are often depicted on the walls eating.
Locker room
This is one of the first rooms where children and their parents find themselves when they come from the street. It is decorated brightly, a variety of subjects are used, wallpaper with images of animals and fairy-tale characters is used. Stands with important information, announcements, schedules, and height meters are placed on the walls. They draw on clothes lockers, stick different letters and pictures on them so that each child can easily remember his own and find where his things are. Long benches are placed in the center of the locker room so that the students can dress comfortably, and a carpet is laid on the floor.
Bedroom
The bedroom is intended for daytime sleep, night rest in the gardens with 24-hour stay. It is decorated in calm, mostly pastel, tones. Thick curtains are hung on the windows - the room should be darkened during the daytime rest. They are selected from natural, eco-friendly materials that suit the style. The structures to which they are attached must be highly reliable, and the fabrics must be practical and durable. You can simply whitewash the ceiling or depict a starry sky on it.
What should a bathroom be like?
Strict requirements are imposed on kindergarten bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are laid on the floor, which are easy to clean; on the walls, such covering should be at least one and a half meters high. In the younger groups, the toilet is equipped with pots, in the middle and older groups - with toilets, washbasins, and mirrors. The older the children, the more spacious this room should be. For older children, toilets are located in stalls, but the doors should not have locks. Each student has his own towel, which he hangs on a hook in a separate compartment. In the showers, drainage is provided through holes in the floor; for safety, rubber mats and wooden pallets are used.

Nothing is done just like that! When the crisis hit me and layoffs came, I completely lost heart... I really didn’t want to leave my children... But in my heart there was a place for other children (the previous ones remained, they didn’t go anywhere), and my new place of work is a kindergarten!
