Girls, for those whose children attend kindergarten, can you explain if everyone is being charged for repairs? We haven't even been there full days yet; we've been attending since March, and I’ve already paid 4,000 rubles for the needs. They assigned us to a different group and said repairs are needed — a major renovation, as I understand it. The playground also needs fixing, and we’re expected to cover the costs ourselves. Toys for the children, curtains, carpets, and many other things are also paid for by the parents. Even the vacuum cleaner! Sorry, I’m in the UAE. My apologies. I didn’t experience this with my older son 🤷. We contributed some money to the parent committee for needs, and it lasted a year. Even now, in school, 2,000 rubles is enough for the entire school year.

Girls, please don't judge too harshly. My son is already 1 year and 11 months old. He was very resis… Подскажите , пожалуйста , гель для подмывания девочек для самых маленьких (нам месяца нет ). Пока по…

I understand that you have many expenses and questions. In most preschools in Russia, such costs are quite common, especially for repairs and equipment updates — these are usually covered by parents. At AUE, each place likely has its own rules, so it's important to find out in advance what is included in the fee and what requires an additional payment. It might be helpful to team up with other parents to discuss transparency in expenses or share experiences. This way, you can better understand what to expect and find ways to keep track of costs.

Community gardens funded by the government are not allowed to collect money for repairs. Feel free to report this to the Ministry of Education.

You should report this to the Department of Education.

Here's how it works: you don't have to submit anything if you don't want to.

Neither my daughter nor my son ever had to wait for repairs at different preschools in different cities.

You can call the Ministry of Education to ask if they allocate funds for this.

Both in the garden and at school, they really annoy me.

Our kindergarten handles some tasks at their own expense, while others are managed by the parents. The parents mainly provide physical help—for example, the kindergarten bought paint, and the parents came to paint. Or, when installing playground equipment, the parents also lend a hand. Of course, we purchase some items ourselves, but the kindergarten also buys many toys and other supplies.

This has never happened before. Over the year, I probably collected around 2000 for various gifts and small things for the children. They just ask for help to carry sand or to paint, nothing more.

We took the initiative ourselves to make the group suitable. We replaced two windows, painted, changed the chandeliers, bought new carpets, and did many other things. The manager didn't ask us to do these, but they can't constantly carry out repairs because the funding is limited. We also painted the veranda, and every year we sent the carpets on the veranda for dry cleaning so the children could walk barefoot there. We had a wonderful garden, with caring teachers and a great manager. It was truly worth it. 👍

I'm curious—what exactly is the child using that would require parents to pay for repairs out of their own pocket? Is there a fee for daycare or childcare services? Yes, there is! Why should parents be responsible for repairs? It doesn't seem fair.

What kind of care is this? Your money is only being spent on food. 😊

Separate meals. Do you have children?

Really?))) If they charged you separately for everything, the total would be like the cost of a private garden, not just a couple of cents.
