Many people have heard about the “Family Kindergarten” program - it assumes that a mother with many children becomes a teacher and opens a kindergarten at home with the help of the state. When journalist Natalya Naryshkina had her third child, she decided to participate in this program. An organized and meticulous person, Natalya found out all the nuances, collected all the documents - and ultimately abandoned this idea. Why? Who will be able to open a kindergarten at home and what can prevent it?

Having a child in Russia is perhaps one of the easiest ways to finally start receiving support from the state and getting your taxes back. Indeed, the Russian Federation has many programs to help parents with children - unlike many other countries, which, for example, do not have such a long paid parental leave.

“Family Kindergarten” (FK) is one of these programs aimed at supporting those who really need it - large families with three preschoolers. This program operates in several regions of the Russian Federation, including Moscow. But, as my personal experience shows, it is not so easy to get into this program.

I told my husband that we could open a family kindergarten and thus I could earn money while sitting at home with the children almost on the same day when I saw two lines on the test and we found out that we were having a third child. . Probably, this is how I wanted to reassure myself and my husband: they say, we can handle it, there’s enough money.

After the birth, we urgently received all the necessary documents, issued all the benefits, and when my youngest daughter was about four months old, I began to mentally prepare for creating a kindergarten at home and find out the necessary information.

Condition one: a suitable educational complex

To create a family kindergarten, it is not enough to be a mother of many children and have preschool children. It seems like this is just a new job for mom - but for SDS you need to collect much more documents than when you just get a job somewhere.

The fact is that a family kindergarten is created on the basis of a regular kindergarten, and the mother becomes the leader of the new kindergarten group. Therefore, you need, firstly, to find an educational complex that will be ready to take you in. And, secondly, prepare the necessary documents.

For example, it is of great importance whether the mother has a pedagogical education. If there is, then the salary will be higher - about 30-something thousand rubles instead of 20-something without this education. (This is the data I personally obtained from several complexes in Moscow, and they can be very different for different complexes.) But since educational complexes have switched to self-sufficiency mode, it may turn out to be less profitable for them to hire mothers with pedagogical education to work in family kindergartens!

At the same time, there are also certain requirements for the average salary in educational complexes, which come directly from the order of the president. That is, hiring mothers with a pedagogical education may be financially unprofitable for the complex, because their salaries are too high, but hiring women without this education is difficult because as a result, the average salary for the institution as a whole decreases, which can be complained about. And, as I understand, there are many more similar nuances in the accounting department of SDS, which is why many educational complexes simply do not want to get involved with this program.

From conversations with five SDS coordinators in different Moscow complexes, I found out that developing this program becomes profitable only if the educational institution has a certain number of family kindergartens - then a subsidy is allocated for them. If there is little, then they become unprofitable, and if there is too much, then they violate the requirements for the average salary. (They say that subsidies are given to up to twenty children in SDS groups in the entire complex.)

In general, it turns out the following: in order for them to call you back in response to your proposal to create a family kindergarten, it is better to find a complex that is interested in this program and is actively developing it. A lot is written about these complexes on the forums of parents with many children, and you can learn about them from friends with many children.

Of course, “Family Kindergarten” is a charitable program to help mothers, and formally they have no right to refuse you, but you can always find a reason to find fault and not hire you specifically. So getting a job as a family educator is not a trivial task at all.

How much do kindergarten teachers earn in Moscow 2021?

For non-budgetary entrepreneurs, the Minimum Wage Agreement dated December 27, 2019 is in force, according to which the minimum wage for the extra-budgetary sector in St. Petersburg from January 1, 2021 is set at 19,000 rubles

- higher than the federal value.

I am 30 years old, I have been working as a teacher for five years. I got a job in a kindergarten when my daughter went there, but there are no benefits or privileges for parents who work there themselves. If you want to send your child to kindergarten, just like everyone else, you sign up on the government services portal and get in a single queue. But for me, the big advantage of this job was that I could spend more time with my child. In addition, mothers of small children often have to take sick leave. If in some other places this is viewed negatively, in the state kindergarten they tried to understand my position and there were no questions about this. My daughter now goes to school, but I stayed to work in kindergarten.

Condition two: educational documents and certificates

Let's get back to the documents. If you do not have a pedagogical education (and no one is even going to employ you, but you don’t know about it yet), a document on higher education is still required. Moreover, employers often ask for additional pedagogical education while working.

True, different complexes in Moscow with whom I spoke on this topic set different conditions: some increase your salary simply upon presentation of a document stating that you have started receiving this education, while others do not increase your salary and wait until you finish your studies . Yes, you can get a pedagogical education remotely, by correspondence, and somewhere on the other side of Russia, but it’s still an extra workload for a mother of three preschoolers. (Recall that the “Family Kindergarten” program was originally conceived as charitable assistance to mothers.)

You also need to obtain a certificate of no criminal record - from the territorial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or from the multifunctional one. This certificate is issued for a month and is valid for a year.

In addition, you need to visit two dispensaries - drug treatment and psychiatric. There are also often queues there, and these certificates are not free. Also, a medical book, which is valid for a year and is also necessary for employment, is not free. Thank God, now there are offices where you can see all the doctors in just a couple of hours, and they prepare the medical book itself in about a week.

Finally, there is another whole layer of documents - for children. Each of them must have a medical card. And if the elders, perhaps, already have medical cards, if the children go to kindergartens, then the newborn, of course, does not have one. You need to make an appointment with ten doctors and visit them.

Benefits and payments for large families in Moscow in 2021

There are regions of Russia where it is customary for families to raise many children. The “large number of children” parameter is set by each subject of the Federation independently, based on demographic characteristics. In Moscow, there is a general rule that is common in most Russian cities: a family is considered to have many children if it has at least 3 minors.

Solving device problems for preschoolers

Problems related to housing remain the most acute for all Russian families. Especially when it comes to Muscovites raising a large family. There are various options for resolving the situation, based on the specific circumstances, intentions and capabilities of the parents:

Additionally, applicants must prepare a certificate of the salaries they receive and that there is no debt on utility bills. However, institution employees have the right to request other documents.

The status of a large family can be registered by a family in which 3 or more minor children live (if after 18 years of age the child is studying full-time at a university on a budget, then he is a member of a large family under 23 years of age).

How to obtain the status of having many children.

1. 1044 rubles for families with 3 and 4 children, 2088 for families with 5 or more children. Monthly cash transfers are aimed at replenishing the cost of paying for an apartment and utilities.
2. One-time payment – ​​14,500 rubles upon the birth of a baby.
3. A monthly allowance of 10 thousand for each infant under 3 years old, in the amount of 4 thousand for a child from 3 to 18 years old. The benefit is transferred if the joint family income is less than the subsistence minimum for one person.
4. Compensation for increased food costs in the amount of 675 rubles. Cash is paid monthly for each infant under 3 years of age.
5. Compensation for increased cost of living. The payment amount is 1200 rubles per month. Compensations are intended for those families with 3 or 4 children. If there are 5 or more children, then the amount of compensation per month is 1.5 thousand rubles.
6. 250 rubles monthly for using the phone.
7. Once every 12 months, the family receives 10 thousand rubles for expenses incurred in order to dress the child in a school uniform. This payment is transferred for each child.
8. If there are 5 or more children in a family, then it has the right to receive a payment of 1,800 rubles every month to purchase goods for children.
9. Families with 10 or more children receive an allowance every month, the amount of which is 1.5 thousand rubles.
10. Children and any of their parents receive the right to free travel on the metro, bus, and trolleybus.
11. Free parking.

In Moscow and the Moscow region, families with three or more children are considered large. Moreover, we are talking not only about relatives, but also about adopted children, stepsons and stepdaughters. In order for a social unit to receive such status, the age of the youngest child should not exceed 16 years. Or 18, if he is studying at an institution that provides a general education program.

Condition three: condition of the apartment

You may have already renovated your apartment when you were preparing for the birth of your first, or second, or third child. Maybe they haven't completed this renovation yet. So, when you open the SDS, a coordinator should come to visit you to photograph different beautiful corners of your house. The point, as you understand, is not so much about beauty, but mainly about compliance with the rules of preschool institutions.

For example, in rooms designated as a garden, there must be washable wallpaper and flooring (paper wallpaper is already a problem). Also, in the room where children will play, there must be the necessary amount of free space for play, tables according to their height. And in the second room there must be the required number of beds for the number of children, each with their own marked bed linen - and many other similar requirements. They say that general information can be gleaned from the requirements for preschool institutions; they are publicly available.

Condition four: number and age of children

But this is where I stumbled. It seems that I fit all the parameters - I have three preschool children. But here’s the caveat: the youngest child is still too small, and many educational complexes doubt whether the department will approve him. That is, someone confidently said that it is possible to send children from almost three months to a family kindergarten, but in other places they clearly told me that we only have a kindergarten from the age of three.

And another problem is that my eldest child starts school in six months. That is, you need to look for another baby for SDS. Or even two children from the age of three, so that we would probably be accepted into the program - instead of the youngest and instead of the eldest. By the way, money for feeding children is also added to the salary - about 2.5 thousand rubles. per month. And for this little money I will also need to feed the children who come.

And then, in the process of negotiations with educational complexes, it turns out that SDS, consisting of only three children of appropriate age, are still unprofitable. And family kindergartens with four or five children are profitable. But, according to the new rules, now SDS accepts not only children from other large families, but also from ordinary ones - and from the age of one and a half.

Thus, it turns out that I need to enroll at least three children from three years old in my kindergarten. But is the game worth the candle? On the Internet, on forums for parents with many children, you can see that many mothers make fictitious agreements with the parents of such “suitable” children. But is it necessary to deceive the state? I'm not ready for this. Moreover, such an exchange is easy to disclose. Some family kindergarten coordinators told me this: if you take other people’s children to a family kindergarten, then they must be in most of the photographs.

Child benefits in the Moscow region in 2021

• Monthly allowance for children from 3 to 7 years old: regular – 1 160,27
  ;
• single mothers - 2 318,47
  ;
• if a parent evades child support – 1 738,86
  ;
• for children of military personnel undergoing conscription service - 1 738,86
  .

A separate issue that concerns many Russians with many children concerns the possibility of obtaining a plot of land for building a house or running a household plot. Russian legislation stipulates that land with an area of ​​6-15 acres can be registered for these purposes, which is quite enough for the construction of spacious housing, planting a garden or vegetable garden. So far, such a federal program has not been officially canceled, but not everyone can implement it. To do this, you must meet the following conditions:

The administration of kindergartens helps mothers-teachers improve their education, and not only with manuals and manuals. Tatyana, for example, completed courses in pedagogy, physiology, and child psychology at the Institute of Open Education. Classes lasted for two months, once a week, for five hours. During the course, Tatyana left the children with their grandmothers. If this is not possible, the mother can take the children to the “head” kindergarten for this time.

Who needs a family kindergarten

In general, none of the complexes with which I negotiated have hired me yet. But my proposal was a great success among mothers. It turns out that there are a lot of mothers who, for ideological reasons (they do not vaccinate) or due to the health of their children (allergies, intolerance to certain foods), are ready to send their children only to a family kindergarten. That is, if I were ready to follow this path further and take four other people’s children into my garden, I would easily find them! Moreover, it is easy to agree with these modern and at the same time non-standard mothers.

But I decided that it was not for me. Surely there are people, mothers of many children, for whom this is a good and convenient way to earn money. Or they have children of a different age. Either you have a pedagogical education, or you have good friends in educational complexes, and at the same time they are excellent animators and housewives. But for now, although I have already done a lot of work preparing for the SDS and received all these certificates, medical books and cards, this path is inconvenient for me. On the contrary, it is important for me that my older children go to kindergarten, while I go to business meetings or work from home.

And I’m not the only one whose character is not suitable for the SDS. I recently spoke with a mother whose eldest child is three and a half, and the two youngest are two and a half, which means that based on the age of the children, a family kindergarten would be ideal for her. But no, she is so tired of her motherhood that she is eager to go to work. It turns out that it is profitable for a family to have a family garden only on the condition that the youngest child, who is under three, is taken there. After all, it’s all the same to sit with him.

What social payments, allowances and benefits are available to large families in 2021?

Thus, in the north of the country, the practice is to introduce monthly local benefits; in some other zones, assistance in the purchase of building materials for building a house is practiced. They may also extend benefits locally. There are cases when assistance is provided not up to 16, but up to 23 years of age.

What benefits are available to large families in 2021?

• the opportunity to open a “home” kindergarten, subject to specialized education from one of the parents;
• various city subsidies and payments;
• discounted travel on public transport (this includes both city and suburban routes);
• free parking space, but no more than one per family;
• natural support. This includes, for example, free visits to state kindergartens, a discount on the purchase of a travel ticket, free sports sections, a discount on meals in educational institutions, free visits to theaters and museums in the capital, and free medicines.

A family kindergarten can be opened by any large family with three or more children aged from 2 months to 7 years. If there is only one or two preschool children in a family, a family kindergarten can also be organized, but on the condition that children from other families will also attend it.

“Family kindergarten teacher navigator” on the website of the City Psychological and Pedagogical Center is a section that contains information on child development, screening diagnostics, early help, consultation centers, support for preschoolers with special educational needs.

School specialists will help family kindergarten teachers assess the current level of development of their children, compare how the child is developing in relation to his peers, identify problem areas in the child’s development, and, if necessary, provide psychological and pedagogical assistance to children and families.

One of the parents of a large family can open a family kindergarten by contacting an educational organization and providing a complete package of documents. You can obtain additional information by contacting the selected educational organization directly.

Since 2021, a law has been adopted in Moscow, according to which large groups of society will be able to pay less property tax than other categories of citizens. According to the official document, for each minor child there is 5 m2 of “free” space.

Thus, in the north of the country, the practice is to introduce monthly local benefits; in some other zones, assistance in the purchase of building materials for building a house is practiced. They may also extend benefits locally. There are cases when assistance is provided not up to 16, but up to 23 years of age.

Property tax subsidy

A wide variety of benefits are available for Moscow large families in 2021. These include cash payments, material compensation, tax breaks for transport and property, and other types of city support.

1. According to Art. 49 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, a large family in need of housing has the right to count on the provision of real estate under a social lease agreement, provided that there is no other real estate and there is insufficient square meters for each family member. An additional condition is the presence of 5 minors and the absence of the right to choose their place of residence.
2. Allocation of a housing certificate for the construction of a private house or purchase of real estate for all family members. The certificate can cover up to 90% of construction or acquisition costs.
3. Preferential mortgage with a state-guaranteed 6% per annum valid for a 5-year period. The condition for registration is the availability of own funds in the amount of 20% of the cost.
4. If the housing in which large families live is dilapidated, citizens have the right to receive a new one when the old one is demolished. The state guarantees compliance with the principle of equivalence when transferring new housing.

There are regions of Russia where it is customary for families to raise many children. The “large number of children” parameter is set by each subject of the Federation independently, based on demographic characteristics. In Moscow, there is a general rule that is common in most Russian cities: a family is considered to have many children if it has at least 3 minors.

Help in resolving housing issues

Almost every large family is forced to have their own transport to meet their needs, but in the city there is a serious problem of finding a place to park a car. There is another benefit from the Moscow Government - the right to free parking. A parking permit is issued for 1 year.

Why organize home kindergartens at all? Isn’t it easier to send the children to an ordinary kindergarten and let the mother go to her main job? Firstly, it is now difficult to wait in line for kindergarten, even if the child was registered from birth. Secondly, many people now do not send their children to kindergarten because they often get sick or for some other reason.
