KINDERGARDEN OF VELENJE PASSING THROUGH THE TIME

V diplomskem delu so zajeti vzroki, ki so vzbudili potrebo po ustanovitvi Vrtca Velenje oz. takratnega DID (Dom igre in dela) ter opis zgodovinskega razvoja zavoda in posameznih enot. Predstavljen je tudi kronološki pregled števila enot, oddelkov in otrok od leta 1987/88 pa vse do leta 2009/10. Prav tako je bila raziskana izobrazba posameznih vzgojiteljic ter poslovni čas vrtca skozi vsa ta leta. Šolsko leto 1952/53 je tisto, ki ga v kroniki Vrtca Velenje označujejo kot začetek delovanja velenjskega vrtca. Prvo šolsko leto je vrtec deloval pod okriljem I. osnovne šole Velenje, prostore pa je imel v nekdanji grajski konjušnici. Od takrat pa vse do danes je vrtec doživel ogromno pomembnih sprememb. Zaradi vse večjega števila otrok so postopno odpirali nove enote: Kekec, Nebotičnik, Mojca, Najdihojca, Vrtiljak, Jakec, Rožle, Tinkara, Jurček, Ciciban in Lučka. Vsem prošnjam niso mogli ugoditi, tako da so odprli tudi novo obliko varstva, družinsko varstvo. V letu 1997 je Vrtec Velenje praznoval 45 let obstoja. Letošnje šolsko leto deluje Vrtec Velenje s 65 oddelki, 1165 vpisanimi otroki in s 144 zaposlenimi vzgojiteljicami in pomočnicami vzgojiteljic.Diploma includes the causes that have encouraged the need for establishing Kindergarden Velenje or so called Hwp (House of work and play) and also a description of historical development of the kindergarden and its individual units. We introduced the chronological review of the number of units, sections and children from 1987/88 to 2009/10. We also looked up the teachers education through the years and how the opening time of kindergarden has changed. Kindergarden Velenje opened in 1952/53. At the time, kindergarden was functioning under the First primary school of Velenje in the spaces of the ex stable. Kindergarden Velenje went through a lot of important changes since then. The number of children was highly increasing through the years, so they were gradually opening new units: Kekec, Nebotičnik, Mojca, Najdihojca, Vrtiljak, Jakec, Rožle, Tinkara, Jurček, Ciciban in Lučka. In spite of all new units, they couldn\u27t keep up with all the aplications, so they opened a new type of childcare, called Familycare. In 1997, Kindergarden Velenje celebrated the 45th anniversary. These days, Kindergarden Velenje includes 65 sections, 1165 registrated children and 144 employed teachers
