Home/Services/Documents for the queue to kindergarten

Today there is a shortage of places in kindergartens. Therefore, you need to put your baby in line in advance. Many parents prefer to perform activities almost immediately after the birth of the child. In order for the authorized bodies to agree to accept an application for a queue to a kindergarten, you will need to prepare a package of documents. Without them, the procedure will not be possible.

For your information

Experts advise studying the list of required papers in advance. Availability of information about the necessary documentation for the queue to kindergarten will simplify the preparation procedure.

What is a ticket to kindergarten?

A permit to a preschool educational institution is a document issued by the Ministry of Education of the municipality in which you are registered.

Only those parents who joined the electronic queue to receive it receive vouchers. You can get in line by submitting an application either to the MFC or through the public service portal.

It contains basic information about the baby - full name, date of birth, as well as information about the preschool educational institution where the baby is enrolled.

Based on this document, you are admitted to kindergarten.

To receive benefits

When enrolling a child in kindergarten, many people count on numerous benefits provided to certain categories of families where parents:

are orphans or have one parent, their age is not older than 23 years;
suffered from the Chernobyl accident;
raising a child in unfavorable conditions;
are prosecutors or judges;
take care of a child from an orphanage.

Children are the first in line after beneficiaries:

police officers or military personnel injured while on duty;
military personnel serving under contract;
living in a large family;
disabled people.

After the above categories of population are enrolled, the following come into line:

mothers or fathers raising a child alone;
kindergarten employees;
families where one child already goes to this child care institution.

The state tries to help certain categories of families financially if the child is sent not to a state, but to a private kindergarten (if it has a license).

Thus, parents receive a full discount on kindergarten fees:

large families;
low-income families;
disabled children;
guardians;
died during military service;
full-time students.

To receive benefits you must provide a package of documents:

original and copy of certificate of a large family;
medical certificates confirming that the child has diseases, according to which he can be provided with a place in kindergarten;
certificate of disability of the parent or child;
certificate of registration of guardianship;
a copy of the death certificate of a military parent;
certificate from the university;
an extract from the guardianship authorities if the parents are orphans;
a certificate from the place of employment if the parents work in court or the prosecutor's office.

Legal basis

The procedure for admission to preschool education institutions is regulated by the following laws:

Federal Law No. 273 “On Education in the Russian Federation” in the latest edition dated August 3, 2018. According to experts, this edition regulates all aspects of education, including preschool, as clearly and effectively as possible.
Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation N 293 “On approval of the Procedure for admission to training in educational programs of preschool education” dated 04/08/2014.

Those issues that are not regulated must be resolved locally.

First visit to the preschool educational institution

So, the ticket is in hand. How long is the voucher valid? It is valid for only 14 days (usually the validity period is indicated on the voucher itself).

During this period, you need to collect all the necessary documents and submit them to the preschool educational institution, to the head.

It’s better to try to get there within the first three days, so that the kindergarten already knows about you and you have time to pass the medical examination.

Required documents for admission:

voucher to kindergarten;
application (written on the spot);
passport of the parent or guardian;
child's birth certificate;
certificate of available benefits (if any);
child's medical record;
vaccination certificate;
medical insurance;
Child's SNILS.

Copies of all documents should be made.
As a rule, all medical documents are drawn up after a meeting with the manager. Your pediatrician will notify you about the doctors and tests required to pass the commission. Typically, passing a medical commission does not exceed 2 weeks.

At the meeting, you draw up an agreement on the provision of educational services , after signing which your child is considered enrolled in kindergarten.

The head tells you the number of the group that the preschooler will attend and will tell you when you can bring your child.

As a rule, parents are offered to attend the group for 3-4 hours a day a week before September to better adapt the child as a kindergarten student.

Important! When drawing up an agreement, indicate the last names, first names and patronymics of people who also have the right to pick up your child from kindergarten. Otherwise, the child will not be given to anyone but you.

Enrollment in kindergarten does not always go smoothly. Sometimes, due to life circumstances, situations arise when this procedure becomes somewhat more complicated.

In the huge amount of information on the Internet, it is not so easy to find the answer to your question. Below are the most frequently asked questions from parents and their answers.

Which group can I enroll my child in?

There are five groups in preschool institutions, the principle of their distribution is based on age. Depending on the age of the child, he is determined, for example, to be the youngest.

Nursery group - for children who have not yet turned 2 years old. This group is for very young children whose parents are forced to go to work.
The first junior group is for children from 2 to 3 years old.
The second younger group is for children from 3 to 4 years old. The most frequently selected group, mainly children are sent to preschool within this age range.
The middle group is for children from 4 to 5 years old.
Senior group – for children from 5 to 7 years old. Usually people are sent to such a group for the purpose of specific preparation for school; it is also the most popular.

What to do if the referral is overdue?

There are situations when it is not possible to meet with the head of the kindergarten within the specified time frame, so the voucher becomes overdue. Here's what to do in this case:

if you have good reasons why you missed the deadline, you need to provide relevant documents confirming your reason (medical certificate).
However, if you are too late, your voucher may already be transferred to another child, even if your reason is valid.
if it is impossible to present documents, then you should go to the manager and ask her a question about your further actions.
if your ticket was not given to another child, you will be enrolled in kindergarten (most likely retroactively). You shouldn’t hope too much for this, especially if you are overdue for more than 3 days.
if the voucher was transferred to another child, contact the Education Department in your area, they will give you a new voucher if there are places available, if there are no places, then you will be put back in line.

If possible, you should try not to miss the required deadline and do everything within the specified period of time, this way you will avoid many problems.

Procedure for submitting an application electronically:

Preparatory stage

An application for a voucher should be submitted as early as possible .
Ideally, immediately after receiving the child’s birth document. There is a catastrophic shortage of places in preschool educational institutions, so it is unlikely that you will be able to place your child in kindergarten right away.

However, if the child has reached 3 years of age or has already attended a child care facility, then he will definitely be given a free place, as he will be placed on a preferential queue. In addition, the following children have the right to priority enrollment in preschool educational institutions:

orphans or left without care;
disabled people;
from large families;
civil servants;
participants in military operations, liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, law enforcement officers, military personnel, etc.;
disabled parents;
single mothers;
parents-teachers.

Some regions provide benefits to other categories of families, for example, low-income ones.

It is recommended to find out in advance whether you qualify for a preferential category and collect documents confirming this status.

IMPORTANT! You definitely need a verified account on State Services.

You can confirm your status as a real person by uploading scans of your documents to the portal, and then going through identity verification in one of 4 ways:

through online accounts of Tinkoff or Post-Bank banks;
at the service center (MFC) and partner organizations;
at Russian Post;
via email.

A confirmed registration will allow you to receive a full range of services, including enrolling your child in kindergarten.

What documents will be needed?

To register for kindergarten through State Services, you will need the following documents:

passports of both parents;
birth certificate of the baby;
registration (temporary registration is also suitable, it is legally equivalent to permanent registration);
confirmation of benefits;
medical report if the baby needs to be sent to a rehabilitation or correction group;
application (filled in automatically).

If the child is under guardianship or adopted, then documents confirming the status of his legal representatives will also be needed.

REFERENCE! Since the documents are sent through the government services website, you will need to prepare either scans or photos of the documents.

They must be made in *jpg format (please note that *jpeg is not accepted!) or *pdf with a resolution of at least 200 DPI. In this case, the volume of one document should not exceed 3.5 MB.

Each scan must be easy to read, all letters and numbers must be clearly visible. Text corrections, shading, highlighting, lightening, etc. are not allowed. The most that can be done is to adjust the clarity so that the inscriptions are clearer.

Recording process

In order to submit an application through the government services portal, you must follow the following procedure:

go to the website https://www.gosuslugi.ru and log in;
Click on the “Services” section, scroll down the page until the “Education” category appears, then select “Kindergarten enrollment”;
click on the “Fill out the application” column;
check your personal data (they will be taken from the documents available to the system)
choose who you are to the child - a parent or guardian;
fill in all the information about the child, including information from his birth certificate;
indicate your residence address and residence address;
indicate the three nearest kindergartens where you want to receive a referral;
tick the special checkbox if you want to get a ticket anyway, even in another garden, if there are no places available in the places you have chosen at the time of submitting your application;
select the date of your desired enrollment (take into account the age of the child);
indicate if there are any benefits and if so, indicate the number of the supporting document;
drag the required scans to the special field to attach them to the application;
click send.

Your application will now go into pending mode.

Within 10 minutes it will be registered and you will receive a number by which you can track the child’s movement in the queue. You can check the order on this same page.

As soon as a positive decision on the application is made, you will receive a notification through State Services.

What happens if you cancel your trip?

Sometimes parents make a rash decision and send their child to kindergarten too early .
However, they soon realize that the child is too young, and they want to refuse the trip.

There is a fear that in this case the child will never go to kindergarten.

This is not true: you will be given a second permit next year.

How to get to the garden at your place of residence, and not at your place of registration?

Very often, people move from small cities to large ones, while remaining registered in their native city.

Of course, it is not possible to take a child to kindergarten at the place of registration, so you have to look for a way to get to the kindergarten at your place of residence.

Unfortunately, this is not regulated by law, so this question can only be answered in the gardens themselves..

You will have to negotiate with the manager about this possibility, and most likely you will succeed.

But be prepared for the fact that children going to this kindergarten at their place of registration will be priority in the queue.

Also, the law does not prohibit parents from trying to exchange vouchers.

How and where can I check my progress in the queue?

It's easy to do, without even leaving home! You just need to go to the website https://pgu.mos.ru and see the changes in the queue. You can access the site only when registering in your personal account; to do this, you need to enter the application registration data on the portal, and information about the queue will immediately appear.

Important!
In Moscow, when preschool institutions are merged, your number in the queue may move back, do not rush to blame corrupt officials for this. This phenomenon is absolutely normal, and government officials have nothing to do with it. These are the children of beneficiaries.

How to get to kindergarten without vaccinations?

All over the world, debates are constantly flaring up about the need, harm and benefits of vaccinations.
More and more modern mothers prefer to either postpone vaccination indefinitely or refuse it altogether.

The problem arises when entering a kindergarten, whose employees claim that without vaccinations you will not be enrolled.

You have every right to do this: according to Federal Law No. 157 “On Immunoprophylaxis of Infectious Diseases” dated September 17, 1998, you have the right to refuse vaccination, while the child can attend all children’s institutions,

But when he himself is sick, or if an epidemic is declared in the city, the child must be isolated from others.

For specialized kindergartens

In correctional kindergartens, special conditions are created for children who have developmental problems. To get into such an institution, the following are added to the standard set of documents:

Referral to visit a special institution. It can be obtained from the Education Department.
Doctors' recommendations and medical commission's conclusion.
If a child has problems with speech function, then it is necessary to obtain a certificate from a specialist audiologist.
