The full list of documents for admission to kindergarten is determined at the regional level

To register a child for kindergarten, you need to know where and with what documents parents must apply. The sequence of your actions and the list of documents often depend on local legislation.

First of all, you need to go through the following steps:

Contact the commission for registration;
Monitor the progress of the queue periodically;
Start preparing documents for enrollment in kindergarten after you receive a ticket to a child care institution.

To avoid problems, you need to know what documents are needed for the kindergarten to get on the waiting list. We recommend that you register immediately after leaving the maternity hospital and the parents receive the child’s Birth Certificate. You become registered with the territorial commission, which is responsible for staffing municipal preschool institutions. Commissions of this kind are created at the municipal education departments of the administrations of each city or district.

Here is a list of documents that need to be prepared for the commission for staffing a municipal children's educational institution (MDOU):

Application from parents or persons in loco parentis;
Child's birth certificate and its copy;
Applicant's passport;
Beneficiaries provide a document that confirms the right to priority admission of a child to a preschool institution.

By submitting an application to the commission, the applicant signs an Agreement authorizing the storage and processing of his personal data by the commission.
When the child is placed on the waiting list and registered in the record book, as well as in the computer database. You will be informed under what number the child is registered and will be given a notification of the child’s registration in exchange for a package of documents. With this notification in hand, you will be able to monitor how the queue is progressing. Keep in mind! You can register for the queue using the electronic option.
In order to get on the lists of the electronic commission for completing preschool educational institutions, you need to go through the following steps:

Register on the site
Provide the applicant's passport details
Child's full name
Child's birth certificate number
Fill out the application form electronically
In the application, indicate the numbers of the three kindergartens that are preferable for you.
Receive an individual code and wait for confirmation that the application has been accepted.
Confirmation of the child’s inclusion in the electronic register must arrive no later than 10 working days from the date of submission of the application.

When the time comes to distribute the child to a specific preschool institution, the head of the kindergarten will receive a notification from the commission and notify the applicant by mail or by telephone.

Documents for enrolling a child in a kindergarten age group

With the notification received, you need to go or call the kindergarten and find out what documents need to be prepared in order for the child to be enrolled in his age group. The list of required documents may differ slightly in different regions, but, most often, its list necessarily includes:

Application from a parent or person replacing him/her regarding the child’s enrollment in kindergarten;
The applicant's passport or other identification document;
Child's birth certificate and its copy;
Medical certificate about the child’s health from a pediatrician, form No. 026/u;
Vaccination card form No. 063/u;
Certificate of epidemiological environment form 095/у, which is issued by the local pediatrician. This certificate is valid for three days from the date of issue.
Certificate for the pool, if the kindergarten offers recreational swimming classes (form No. 1). This certificate is valid for 6 months;
Compulsory health insurance policy and its copy;
For beneficiaries, a document that gives the right to benefits in paying for kindergarten.

The head of the preschool institution will invite you to sign a bilateral agreement between you and the preschool institution. The agreement is signed in two copies, one of which is given to the applicant.

Attention! Be prepared for the fact that before entering kindergarten you will need to undergo a medical examination by a number of specialists, take tests and wait for their results.

There are also special kindergartens for children with special needs. Such preschool institutions include:

Kindergartens for children with cerebral palsy;
Kindergartens for children with hearing impairments;
Kindergartens for children with speech disorders;
Kindergartens for children with low vision;
Anti-tuberculosis preschool institutions;
Children's institutions for HIV-positive children.

There are children's educational and health institutions in other areas as well.

Benefits for brothers and sisters

Federal Law No. 411-FZ dated December 2, 2019 obliges us to admit, as a priority, children who have a brother or sister studying in the same kindergarten. This innovation applies not only to kindergartens, but also to schools.

The benefit can be used by parents who have submitted to the regional education department a certificate of registration of the second child at the address where the first one is registered. If the place of residence differs from the place of registration or the children have different places of registration, you must additionally provide a certificate of family composition. It is received at the passport office.

Previously, parents had to take their children to different kindergartens if their place of registration did not match. The new rule has been well received by families because it will free up time for parents. This bill was introduced in the Samara region in 2021. The prosecutor's office closed him down because he infringed on the rights of residents of other regions. And the new law of 2021 was adopted at the federal level, so the conditions are the same for all regions.

How are priorities distributed in the queue?

Children whose brothers and sisters are already studying in kindergarten receive priority over children from the general queue and even over other beneficiaries. The queue order is determined as follows:

Brothers and sisters of current kindergarten students;
Children of military personnel, police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, disabled people, large families, single mothers. In some regions, children of kindergarten employees are included in this category, for example in St. Petersburg.
Babies from the queue according to the date of application;
Children who are transferred from other kindergartens;
Children registered at their place of residence.

How to organize innovation in kindergarten
The essence of the new benefit must be conveyed to parents and described in the documents of the preschool educational institution. To do this, post information about the new preferential category on the kindergarten website and on information boards.
Also, change the section of the regulations on admission to preschool educational institutions in 2021. To do this, supplement the section “Procedure for admission of pupils” with information about the preferential category and the sequence of enrollment of children among preferential and non-preferential categories.

Receiving benefits for your child’s admission to kindergarten

To receive benefits you must provide:

Document from the student mother's educational institution;
Certificate of a disabled child of group I or II
Guardianship document if the child is under guardianship;
A document stating that the child is being raised in a single-parent family;
Documents confirming the fact that the family has many children;
For twins, it is enough to indicate in the application;
Certificate for orphans;
Certificate from the parent's place of work for children of military personnel.

Where to go to get in line

The development of modern technologies allows parents to choose a convenient way to register in the queue for their children to receive preschool education services.
In 2021, you can choose one of the following:

Name	Method of treatment
OSIP	In person with documents
Via the Internet with subsequent documentary confirmation
Portal of municipal government services	https://pgu.mos.ru
Department of Education	https://www.educom.ru/
Portal of multifunctional centers	https://www.mos.ru/

Hint: applications go into one database. The order does not depend on the method of address. Taken into account:

date of registration of the application;
availability of the right to preference.

Algorithm for submitting an application via the Internet

Many parents in the country have already appreciated the convenience of contacting government agencies via the Internet. To get a queue at the capital's preschool educational institution, you should perform the following steps:

Get an account on one of the above portals.
Collect and place documents nearby (listed above).
Log in to your personal account and select the service you are interested in.
Carefully fill out the application form regarding the provision of personal data (parent and minor).
Choose a suitable kindergarten using the following services:
a reference book that tells you: the characteristics of the kindergarten;
the number of applicants for places in it is no more than three.
Submit the form for review.
Wait for response:
if everything is correct, they will register and send the assigned number (you should write it down).

Hint: Form processing takes no more than ten days. If you do not receive a response, you need to double-check the contact information on the website.

How to check the movement of the queue

You can see how many unsatisfied applicants there are in front of an applicant at any time on the portal https://pgu.mos.ru. To do this, you need to log into your personal account:

Enter the application accounting data in the line that appears.
Information about the queue number will appear on the screen.

Hint: electronic accounting eliminates the interference of civil servants in the progress of waiting lists. When merging DDUs, the number in the queue may roll back. This is a normal phenomenon for the capital.

How to make changes to the information provided in the form

If your personal data changes, you will have to go to OSIP. It is not yet possible to amend the form via the Internet. You should have supporting documents with you. Hint: when moving from one district of the capital to another, the place in the queue does not change (it is taken into account by the date of application). Receiving a preferential category by the applicant will help in promotion.

Refusal of vaccinations upon admission to kindergarten

If parents do not want to vaccinate their child, fearing for his health or for any other reasons, or want to do only part of the vaccinations or vaccinate the child according to an individual schedule, then they have every right to do so. To do this, an application is written addressed to the head of the children's clinic where the child is being observed. The application is submitted in two copies, signed by both parties, one signed copy is given to the parent or person replacing him.

The grounds for filing such an application are Articles 31 and 32 of the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the health of citizens dated July 22, 1993 No. 5487-1, which talks about consent and refusal to medical intervention, as well as Article 5 of the Federal Law “On the Immunoprevention of Infectious Diseases” diseases" N 157-FZ of September 17, 1998 "Rights and responsibilities of citizens in the implementation of immunoprophylaxis."

Accounting for the number of foreigners

Federal Law No. 403-FZ dated December 2, 2019 obliges kindergartens to publicly publish the number of foreign preschoolers. There is no need to disclose other data of migrants in order not to violate legal norms.

Preschool education experts say what this innovation could lead to:

On the one hand, the attitude towards Russian citizens who are mistakenly mistaken for foreigners will improve. This applies, for example, to residents of the North Caucasus.
On the other hand, parents can begin to divide groups and kindergartens into “for locals” and “for migrants,” and children can unite into small groups based on linguistic similarity. As a result, queues at individual kindergartens may increase and tension among parents may increase.

To avoid the described difficulties, a rule on the number of foreigners was added to the rules for admitting kindergartens in 2020.

How to organize innovation in kindergarten
To implement the new rule, you need to:
Create an order for the admission of foreign citizens;
Add to the document on the distribution of responsibilities a task for the senior teacher - to keep track of the number of foreigners in groups.
Post information on the website about the number of migrants in the kindergarten.

Official documents confirming the refusal

If you are denied admission to a kindergarten due to lack of places or for some other reason, then ask the head of the preschool institution to give you a written refusal and indicate the reason for the refusal. Such a document can be used later in court to file a claim. Article 43 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation protects the right to education, so the likelihood of your claim being satisfied in court is very high.

A specialist will answer all your questions on the topic of the article in the comments.

Mandatory electronic queue and unified federal system

All data on admission to kindergarten must be entered into the federal information system, namely information about:

number of seats,
preferential categories,
queues.

This means that the queue will become electronic in all regions, and parents will be able to easily monitor the situation in kindergartens. Information from regional services is sent to the federal system. In this way, a single all-Russian queue is formed. Thanks to her, children can easily find a place in a new kindergarten if their family has moved to a new city. It wasn't easy before.

In cities with populations over one million people there is already an electronic queue, so little will change in their work. And kindergartens from small cities and towns will have to introduce a new system in order to meet uniform requirements.

The introduction of a federal waiting list makes the kindergarten admission system more “transparent” for parents. Preschoolers will be accepted under the same conditions. And in a few years, officials will be able to study the statistics on the workload of kindergartens by region, and based on these data, take measures to improve the organization of the preschool education system.

How to organize innovation in kindergarten
Many regions have been maintaining local information portals for several years, so working in a unified system should not cause difficulties. To do this you need:
Study the regional regulations on the information system;
Draw up a schedule and instructions for entering and updating data in the information system. Add these instructions to the appointment order;
Issue an order appointing a specialist to receive and enter data.

What to do if there is nowhere to register?

Kindergartens conduct admission on the basis of Order No. 293 of the Ministry of Education and Science of 04/08/14 and the Law “On Education” No. 273, which state that minor citizens must be provided with places in educational institutions at their place of residence.

Therefore, you can simply walk around your area and find out information about nearby kindergartens. It is quite possible that there is a shortage in one of them every year. The reasons are different - lack of a full range of services, territorial remoteness, qualifications or staff of specialists. They will take a child without registering parents; they are happy to staff the group, because there is a risk of layoffs or closure of the institution.

Is it possible to place a child in a preschool educational institution without permanent registration?

According to the law, the head of a kindergarten does not have the right to refuse to admit a child who does not have a local registration. If the institution has free places, they are required to accept children without registration.

Important! Lack of temporary or permanent registration is not a reason not to admit a child to kindergarten. But children without registration are enrolled last, since there are usually no free places or very few.

Preschool institutions distribute places for group formation as follows:

First of all, places are allocated for children with permanent registration at an address geographically close to the institution.
In the second place, children who have temporary registration at their place of stay are considered.
Lastly, all remaining vacant seats are considered. If, after recruiting groups, there are still places left, the garden will be able to accommodate those who do not have registration, but live nearby.

How to get in line?

No mandatory local registration at the place of residence is required for a child in order to get on the waiting list for kindergarten. The fact of residence in a given locality and registration of temporary registration (at the place of stay) is sufficient.

First, you need to choose a preschool institution that is geographically close, then go to the official website of the State Service and register, after which you can apply to be placed in the queue. The application can be submitted in person to the education department at your place of residence or through the MFC.
After a child has been selected for a place in kindergarten, an invitation will follow to come to the Department of Education. Within 30 days, you need to personally appear at the department (preschool education department) with a package of documents and you will be put on a waiting list. If the parents were unable to come with the documents on time, then the right of priority is transferred to the next child.

Additional methods

If you can’t obtain either permanent or temporary registration in any way, but you really need to arrange for your child, then you can go the other way:

Lease contract. The baby can be sent to kindergarten on the basis of a rental agreement for a rented apartment. The agreement and application are submitted to the education department at the place of residence and on this basis the child is enrolled in the queue.
Sponsored places. Many kindergartens need basic financial assistance, so if you can help somehow, you can become a sponsor. In this case, your baby's chances of being admitted to kindergarten increase.
Working as a nanny. Some preschool institutions are experiencing a shortage of junior staff. As a rule, this is work as an assistant teacher, nanny or cleaner. Mothers get jobs in kindergartens, and only then place their children. This convenient way allows you to earn additional money and at the same time look after your child.
Buying a place. Parents are known to put their child on the waiting list early. They receive a number to track their progress. But a situation may arise when a place is assigned to one district or city, and the family urgently needs to change their place of residence. In this case, parents sell or change the place by submitting the relevant information in the advertisements. People move often, so this option is quite in demand.
Private kindergarten. In big cities, it is not a problem to place a child without registration in a private kindergarten or a developmental children's center. Of course, they are paid, but they have their advantages.

As a rule, children are registered at their place of residence with their parents or one of them. On our website you will find articles about whether it is possible to register a father or mother at the place of registration of the child, what is the procedure for this procedure for newborns and through the State Services portal, as well as whether it is necessary to send the child to school according to registration and whether it is possible to get there without registration at the place of residence .

Latest changes in kindergarten enrollment.

In 2021, a bill was proposed that would introduce some amendments to the procedure for enrolling children in groups.

In short, the following nuances can be highlighted:

kindergarten specialists are allowed to provide paid services at home for the education and supervision of children under 7 years of age,
permanent groups should be reduced by 1.5 times,
if there are no places in the child care institution, then the parents will receive a refusal, and the age of the child will not play any significance (if the parents received such a refusal, they can put the baby on the waiting list for another preschool educational institution),
Places in nurseries are provided on a paid basis, and maternity payments will continue, even if the child already goes to kindergarten.

When to queue at a preschool educational institution

The issue of admission to kindergarten is so “acute” that it arises even when the child has not yet been born. But, unfortunately, placing on a waiting list at a preschool educational institution is possible only after birth. As soon as the baby is born, you can submit an application. Moreover, the sooner you do this, the closer you will be in line.

General rules.

If parents are against the kindergarten in which their child was previously registered, they must report this to the education department at their place of residence.

This notification must also include information about the desired institution. If there are still free places there, the child will be transferred.

In the legislation of our country there is a rule, in accordance with which a child must receive a place in a preschool educational institution no later than a month after the application of the applicant (mother or father).

But sometimes parents want to go to kindergarten a little later, they must also write this in their application. But legislation does not always meet modern realities. Often there are not enough places in the garden.

Note! According to the Constitution, citizens of our country have the right to demand equal opportunities for personal development and education. Therefore, in case of refusal, you can appeal.
