NOTE I will not answer anything that will breach my confidentiality NOTE About me: I have a bachelor degree in kindergarten teaching and is currently working in a kindergarten in Norway. I work in a team consisting of four persons (one of those are another kindergarten teacher) and we have responsibility for 25 kids in the age group of 3-6 years. About kindergartens in Norway: Every kid at the age of one has the right to attend a kindergarten in the place where they live, kindergartens are not allowed to charge more than 2330 Norwegian kroner (about 386 dollars) a month, every kindergarten is obligated to follow a framework made by the government where it says what we shall teach, every kindergarten shall have at least one educated kindergarten teacher but since there's not enough of us dispensations are given. What I do: I'm in charge for the parent-teacher conferences, organizing the day, I also have the responsibility for preparing the older kids for school.

Tricerapowerbottom posted:Does Norway have a stranger-danger, don't let men near my children sort of culture? If so, how have you dealt with it? I myself have never experienced anyone that has reacted negatively to me being a man working with kids, but I have met others that have. If anything people thinks it positive that men works in kindegarten. Lord Windy posted:That is a pretty good model for cheap daycare. Does the State subsidies the kindergartens pretty significantly? ~$10,000 a month doesn't seem enough for 4 working adults and everything that goes with it. Tooke posted:How would you incorporate play into your daily routine. quote:What kind of expectations do you have for each age All in all it's difficult to set expectations for kids development. I know what the kids should be able to do at certain ages (by the age of two for example they should be able to play pretend) but I also know that kids develop differently. Take language for example, some kids produce their first words at nine months, some at sixteen months. That doesn't mean that the kids that speak at sixteen months are behind in development but that they're developing language differently than those that speak at nine months. quote:and what are the expectations for successful completion of your kindergarten program?
