On September 27, our country celebrates an important holiday for all children and their parents - the Day of Teachers and All Preschool Workers. Why is September 27th the professional holiday of all preschool teachers, and not, for example, August 6th or April 30th? What is the history of this holiday in our country?
We will give answers to all these questions in our article.
History of preschool care and education in Russia Kindergartens in Europe have existed for almost 200 years. Founder preschool educational institutions
there was Friedrich Froebel, a German teacher who studied at the university and worked in the orphanage of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, a classic of scientific pedagogy. First kindergarten
in Europe was opened in 1837 in Blakenburg. Education in such a kindergarten took into account the philosophy of German teacher-thinkers. This philosophy envisaged the creation of a kindergarten as a model of the structure of the universe, in the center of which stood the child - the image of a developing human personality. According to generally accepted data, story preschool education and education in Russia
originates in 1863, when Adelaide Semenovna Simonovich opened the first kindergarten in the Russian Empire. By the way, this significant event took place on September 27 - the modern Day of Teachers and All Preschool Workers. By the way, it is worth mentioning that in these times - almost 150 years ago - female education was, to put it mildly, not widespread. There weren’t even girls’ gymnasiums, let alone higher ones. educational institutions . It was believed that a woman’s purpose was to give birth and raise children, as well as run a home. Therefore, the fact that Adelaida Semyonovna was able to finish 5 grades of school and, with the help of self-education, pass the exam for the title of home teacher can be considered a miracle! True, as far as higher education
But this did not stop the enterprising madam, and she went abroad - to Switzerland - where she was able to obtain a pedagogical education and met her future husband. By the way, it was together with her husband that Adelaida Semyonovna opened her kindergarten in St. Petersburg on Vasilyevsky Island.
Kindergarten, the opening of which became the central event in the history of the holiday - the Day of Teachers and All Preschool Workers - received children aged 3-8 years. They played outdoor games with them, engaged in construction and various developmental activities, and also taught a course on Homeland Studies to the kids!
A little later, Adelaida Semyonovna began publishing the thematic magazine “Kindergarten,” which also made an invaluable contribution to the activities of teachers and all preschool workers.
But it was not for nothing that we mentioned earlier that the Simonovich family’s kindergarten was the first in the Russian Empire, according to generally accepted data. There is another version of the origins of the history of preschool education in Russia. There is evidence that the first kindergarten in the Russian Empire was opened in Helsingfors in 1859. Despite the fact that Helsingfors is the territory of modern Finland, at that time this city was part of the Russian Empire. Therefore, this version takes place.
So when was the decision made to establish the holiday? The history of the holiday as officially existing in our country dates back to 2004, when the Day of Teachers and All Preschool Workers was established on the initiative of several public pedagogical publications. This event was preceded by the fall of 2003, when the celebration of Teacher's Day was held in St. Petersburg, timed to coincide with the 140th anniversary of the opening of the first kindergarten of the Simonovich family. It was after this event that letters were sent to the regions with proposals to establish the Day of Teachers and all preschool workers in Russia. A year later, the decision was made - and the holiday was officially established.
Day of teachers and all preschool workers in Russia
IN modern society Very little attention is paid to preschool education, at least in comparison with school and university education. Meanwhile, this is a big minus - after all, the formation of a child’s personality occurs precisely in preschool period– and after 6-7 years it will be quite difficult to change anything. In this regard, the work of educators and preschool workers is very important and responsible - after all, these are the people who spend next to the preschooler great amount time and contribute to them proper development and the formation of their personality. It is preschool workers who lay the foundations of character and abilities for millions of children in our country, introduce them to the world around them and help them find their first friends in life. 
That is why the purpose of the holiday Day of the teacher and all preschool workers is to draw public attention to the work of those people who work in kindergartens and preschool education in general. On the Day of the Teacher and all preschool workers, special events, matinees, interesting wall newspapers are made, and grateful parents give teachers and preschool workers flowers and memorable souvenirs. If your child has good artistic skills, Creative skills or is an excellent reader of poetry - invite him to prepare his own personal gift for his favorite teacher. It could be a plasticine craft, a “painting masterpiece” of your own making, or a beautiful poem memorized and proudly read at a matinee.
Some people associate the Day of the Teacher and all preschool workers with Teacher's Day - but these holidays are rather not a replacement for each other, but a complement. After all, without a decent foundation there cannot be a decent secondary and higher education! And although so far the Day of Teachers and all preschool workers in our country is not celebrated as widely as Teacher’s Day, in many regions it is celebrated more and more actively. Therefore, we dare to hope that the spread and increase in the scope of the celebration of Teacher’s Day and all preschool workers is only a matter of time.
On Teacher's Day and all preschool workers, be sure to thank and congratulate the teachers and other workers of the kindergarten where your child goes. After all, the work of these people is very difficult, and their pay leaves much to be desired... But even in such conditions, they are able to maintain sensitivity, attentiveness and love for children - and should we explain to you how important it is for the child to have kind and sympathetic people next to him?
Everyone knows such a holiday as Teacher's Day. He is highly respected by all those who have already graduated from school and those who are still studying. And the teaching profession is considered respected and very necessary, because thanks to its representatives, we all grow up as educated and socialized people. This includes not only providing knowledge about the world, but also a very important matter - the formation of children's characters.
And the responsibility in this profession is also very great. But for some reason, many people forget that these same duties are honestly and conscientiously performed by representatives of another specialty. We are talking about kindergarten workers. They lay the foundation for a future personality at a very tender age. And, unfortunately, few people know when the Day
Important
The preschool years are an important period in a child's life. And the task of kindergartens is precisely to prepare children for a more “adult” school life. Before the child was admitted, he most often communicated only with his mother and other relatives. And I had a very vague idea of what a team, communication with peers, was. And it is in the kindergarten that they help him get used to a large number of people, discipline, and also teach him communication skills with other children. Therefore, knowing when Kindergarten Teacher Day is very useful, as well as congratulating preschool workers.
