In Kyiv, in kindergartens, within a pilot project, 9 groups for children from 6 months have been opened. They operate in 5 districts of the city – Holosiivskyi, Desnianskyi, Dniprovskyi, Solomianskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi.
According to this, as reported by Kyiv News, it is stated in the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) message.
“The demographic situation is changing under the influence of the war, so the number of children is decreasing, and in individual kindergartens, accordingly, the occupancy is declining. At the same time, the war affects the labor market, where there is a need for additional resources. Therefore, creating groups for young children is a solution both for parents who want to return from maternity leave as early as possible and for employers who are looking for workers,” noted Valentyn Mondryivskyi, Deputy Head of the KCSA.
The KCSA informs that pilot groups are opened only in institutions that have all the necessary conditions for keeping the youngest children.
In particular, they consider sheltering options and the availability of a sufficient number of staff.
“Young children, who cannot yet move independently, need to be moved to shelter. Therefore, for each such child, an adult is required to ensure safe transport. For older children who can move independently, the transition to shelter is organized with the group together with educators,” the post explains.
As a reminder, Kyiv updated the Preschool Education Portal, through which parents can apply for their child’s enrollment in a kindergarten. The service received a new design and navigation, as well as an updated authentication system. The developers say this will help users find the information they need more quickly and use the services more safely.
