Family and preschool are two important institutions for the socialization of children. Their educational functions are different, but their interaction is necessary for the comprehensive development of the child. The Federal State Educational Standard for Education says this: a preschool institution must create conditions that will facilitate the involvement of parents in the educational process. Such a condition could be a family club in a preschool educational institution. What is it?
A family club is an innovative form of working with parents, which allows you to provide psychological and pedagogical support to parents, increase their competence in matters of development and education of children, attract parents to participate in the educational process, and also contributes to the creation of partnership, trusting relationships between the kindergarten and the family .
In my work, I also use this form of working with parents and I have created the “Commonwealth” family club.
Objectives of the family club
- to intensify the work of the institution with parents (legal representatives) of pupils, the creation of a social and pedagogical environment “child-kindergarten-family”;
- provide psychological and pedagogical assistance to parents (legal representatives) in creating a favorable psycho-emotional climate in children’s families;
- improve the psychological and pedagogical culture of parents;
- to form positive attitudes in raising children;
- harmonization of parent-child relationships;
- contribute to the establishment of trusting relationships between parents and kindergarten.
What to call a children's club, kindergarten?
Coming up with a name for your children's center is almost as responsible and sometimes as difficult as giving a name to your child.
To be successful, a children's club must surprise. Imagine: a mother walks into a children's club. Let's say it's called "Rainbow". He sees that the chairs are exactly the same as in kindergarten, only newer. The cabinets are from the neighboring furniture store. Toys from Detsky Mir are opposite.
“What are you doing here with the children?” “We draw, sculpt from plasticine, do exercises,” she answers. “What materials do you use?” - “We work according to this coloring book and this ABC book.”
Do you think mom will pay money for this? I doubt! Why?
Reason #1. Mom will think: “Yes, I can buy a coloring book, an ABC book and plasticine myself. What's so difficult about it? Why would I pay money for this? So, not only can I conduct classes myself, I can open the same club myself.”
Reason #2. The name “Rainbow”, familiar chairs - all this evokes associations with the Soviet past. Mom saw a children’s “circle” in the House of Folk Art or in the House of Culture of the Soviet years. And genetic memory tells my mother: “The Soviet “circle” should be free!”
Hence follows Rule No. 1 of a Successful Children's Club . With all your might you need to “detach yourself” from straightforward Soviet images! Not because Soviet preschool education was bad—it was often very good. But because in people’s minds, Soviet things should be free. Therefore, do not call your club by hackneyed Soviet names: “Ladushki”, “Ladoshki”, “Fairy Tale”, “Spring”, “Firefly”, “Luchik”, “Morozko”, “Rainbow”, etc.
The most successful and modern names of Moscow children's clubs are, in my opinion, “Smiley”, “Mozart-Effect”, “Talentville”. I still think that the name under which my club operated in the first year of its existence was wonderful - “Studio-Pups”. Then we taught very young children, and when we started teaching children from 5 to 9 years old, we had to change the name to a more “adult” one.
The names sound cool and fresh with words borrowed from European languages, such as Baby (Baby Club, Baby Star), Kid (Kid Land, Kid House). Anglicized words sound even more perky when combined with the good old “scoop”.
For example, the children's club "Romashka" makes my cheekbones ache with boredom. “ROMASHKA BABY STUDIO” is much more impressive.
Or give your club a name similar to the Soviet canteen No. 1 - BABY CLUB No. 1. At a minimum, they will be interested in you and want to visit you.

Progress of the lesson
1. Opening remarks.
— Good evening, dear adults and children. We are pleased to welcome you to the traditional meeting of the parent club “ Family Living Room ”
.
Our meeting is called “We are together”
, the purpose of which is to bring you closer through games and joint activities.
All our games may seem unusual to you, don’t be afraid to play, seem wrong and funny, each game has its own result and meaning. Let's start the meeting with a greeting.
2. Greeting. Each participant greets everyone with the words: “Hello, I’m Victoria”
(in a circle, standing)
.
3. Getting to know each other. Take your seats and let's continue our acquaintance,
Children take turns standing up and introducing themselves and their families with whom they came to meet.
And now, to relieve stress, we suggest you play a little.
4. "Unite those who..."
Participants are encouraged to team up if the description fits. Move to one side for those who:
- do homework together, at least occasionally, for the other, for those who don’t have enough time for it;
- have a common hobby - fishing, knitting, sports, collections;
— help relatives wash the dishes;
— help relatives take out the trash;
- travel together, relax - go to the forest, to the river.
- Now we invite you to sit down.
5. Main part. "Cooperation"
.
— Today the dynamics of life are too fast. Everything happens in a hurry. Remember how the morning begins in your home. In the morning, you give the children instructions, reminding them how they should behave during the day. Next time we meet with the children in the evening. Today we are given the opportunity to spend the evening together. Find out more about each other and get closer.
6. "Know Your Parent "
.
“Now we will check how well the children know their relatives.”
We blindfold the driving child. All adults sit in their places - children must recognize their mother by touch and explain how they guessed.
7. "Describe your mother"
. Now let’s check how well adults know their children. The children have prepared short essays about you, we will read them to you, and you can try to recognize yourself from the description.
The essays are read one by one.
8. "Cozy and safe place"
- relaxation.
- And now we invite you to relax and dream a little,
dream up. (relaxation text on the topic “Our Home”
).
9. "Collaborative drawing"
- Our house.
Now let's try to realize your dream with the help of drawing, now you are together, at the same time you will draw “The House of Your Dreams”
using two pencils,
parents - red , children - blue.
They draw against the background of music. Next, the drawing is analyzed. Pay attention to which color was larger, which means that he was more active and showed more initiative. If you are an adult, it means that you do not always allow the child to show his independence. If it’s the other way around, it means that you often give in to the child. A positive result is when it’s 50/50.
— Let's arrange our exhibition. Analysis - do you like your home in our “City of Friendship”
? If you like it, then let's give each other compliments.
10. "Compliments"
.
Standing opposite each other, taking a step towards each other, they say compliments. When meeting, the child gives his mother a flower, and his mother hugs him. Result: was it hard to give compliments? Do you often say them in everyday life?
11. "We are together"
-
group work .
“Our meeting takes place in an atmosphere of warmth and comfort, and this is not enough in the picture, let’s revive it, add bright colors.” Drawing with palms. Group photo as a keepsake against a collage background.
