DEVELOPMENT OF POBREŽJE KINDERGARTEN

Vrtec Pobrežje, imenovan Dom igre in dela je začel delovati leta 1948. Otrokom so bile sprva na voljo le lesene igrače, kotičke pa so opremljale vzgojiteljice s pomočjo staršev. Zaradi vse večjih potreb po vzgoji otrok je vrtec Pobrežje leta 1970 dobil prvo enoto klasičnega tipa. V naslednjih letih so se odprle tudi enote Ob gozdu, Jasli Grinič, Najdihojca, Brezje, Mojca, Duplek, Dvorjane, Korena ter Kekec in Čebelica. Leta 1996 je vrtec zaradi priključitve občini Duplek izgubil tri enote. Tudi enota Ostržek se ne uporablja več, saj je leta 1988 dobil stavbo v najem Center sonček Maribor. Nove spremembe so prišle tudi leta 1995 z metodologijo Korak za korakom, ter leta 1999, ko je Republika Slovenija sprejela Kurikulum za vrtce. Vrtec je vključen v različne projekte na mednarodni in državni ravni, tekom dneva pa so otrokom ponujene tudi obogatitvene dejavnosti ter dodatne v popoldanskem času. Preteklo leto je vrtec Pobrežje praznoval 60. letnico delovanja. V teh letih se je v matično knjigo vpisalo že več kot 15000 otrok. Letošnje šolsko leto deluje vrtec Pobrežje z 29. oddelki, 543. vpisanimi otroki in 98. zaposlenimi.Pobrežje Kindergarten, also known as “House of play and work” opened its doors in 1948. At first it offered children only wooden toys and the play areas were decorated by kindergarten teachers with the help of parents. Due to increasing needs for children’s education the kindergarten in question opened its first so-called classical type unit in 1970. The following years saw the openings of other units: Ob gozdu, Jasli Grinič, Najdihojca, Brezje, Mojca, Duplek, Dvorjane, Korena and Kekec in Čebelica. Due to being joined to Duplek municipality, the kindergarten lost three of its units. Unit Ostržek is not being used anymore as the building was sublet in 1988 to Center sonček Maribor. New changes were brought about with the introduction of Step by Step methodology in 1995 and the adoption of Curriculum for kindergartens by The Republic of Slovenia in 1999. The kindergarten is involved into international and national projects and during the day the children can attend enrichment activities as well as additional activities in the afternoon. Last year Pobrežje kindergarten celebrated its 60th anniversary. In these years over 15000 children enrolled into central register. In the current school year the kindergarten has 29 class units, 543 children and 98 employees
