The team of PU Cukarica diligently continued to realize the activities planned through the project “Dad, Mom, play with us”.

The realization of the short program “Igroteka”, which was interrupted due to the epidemiological situation, continued in the kindergarten “Gorica” ​​in Sremcica. The continuation of the remaining 8 workshops made the children happy, and at the initiative of the parents, a workshop for parents “Emotions and what to do with them” was realized by an external associate from the local community, Ana Kescec, a pedagogue.

 A new short program for children who are not in the PVO system called “Let’s paint the world” has started in the kindergarten “Radosno detinjstvo” on Banovo brdo. 18 new families have been mapped. Parents are offered a choice in the online kindergarten through the Viber community and the opportunity to bring their children to the kindergarten-park. During October, 6 workshops were realized in the park on Banovo brdo and the same number of workshops in the family kindergarten.

Also, the “Baby Program” has started in the kindergarten “Gorica” ​​in Sremcica, where a new space for the realization of workshops for babies has been equipped. 6 babies were mapped of which 4 babies are in the program.

From November 17, 2020, the realization of the new short program Igroteka will begin in the kindergarten “Gorica”. 18 new children are enrolled in the program. Parental concerns regarding the end of one program were recognized and the possibility was opened for all children who were in the program but did not enroll in kindergarten to continue their participation in the short programs “Color the World” and Igroteka.

The Project Team is working hard on the development of the first Webinar, which is intended for educators, MS educators and professional associates within the horizontal exchange. The webinar will be posted on the YouTube channel of the Cukarica preschool institution, on the Facebook page and on the website of the institution.

The greatest joy and enthusiasm was shown by the children during the handing over of the Educational Packages.

The Project Team is looking forward to new challenges, the realization of new programs and the inclusion of new families and children in the project “Dad, Mom, play with us”.

The educational films “Baby Massage” and “Touch That Helps Growing Up” were made during the realization of various short programs in the preschool institution Cukarica, during the project “Dad, Mom, play with us”.

The films were created by Mirjana Jerkic, an educator, a member of the project Team.

The short educational films you have the opportunity to watch are part of educational packages for families with the aim of raising parental competencies and encouraging the importance of including children in various preschool programs that are important for encouraging the early development of every child.

During the implementation of project activities, educational exchanges are planned with the aim of gaining new knowledge and exchange of professionals through empowering professional associates, other associates, educators and nurses-educators for active participation in creating various (short) programs in preschool.

We are looking forward to creating new programs, the arrival of new children and the creation of new films for families.
