First, in the 1980s, almost all units and large enterprises and institutions with relatively good welfare had their own kindergartens and nurseries, and employees' children were given priority.
There is a kindergarten in our unit, which is an independent yard in the office area of the unit. The environment is good, with the basic facilities of kindergarten, such as swings, slides, seesaws, sports venues and so on. There are directors, kindergarten teachers, nurses, chefs and logistics managers, all of whom are caring and experienced female employees selected from the registered staff of the unit.
My child goes to the unit kindergarten, and the monthly childcare fee is five yuan, and the unit subsidizes part of it. Send the children to kindergarten at work in the morning and pick them up at home after work in the afternoon. I remember that the kindergarten is divided into large, medium and small classes, with four classrooms, two lounges and an activity room. There is heating in winter, ceiling fans in summer, and there is no air conditioning at that time. When the weather is fine, the teacher leads the children to outdoor activities, play games, sing and dance; When the weather is bad, the children recite poems, read words and sit in rows to share fruits in the classroom.
Kindergarten has a recipe for three meals a day, not repeated every day; Fruit twice at noon and afternoon; Bedding units are arranged in a unified way, and you don't need to bring your own. We all know the children's teachers, and the music teacher is very familiar with us. She teaches children to sing and play the organ, and leads them to sing together. On holidays, there are cultural activities in the kindergarten, and the leaders in charge of the "June 1" unit go to the kindergarten to express their condolences and give gifts.
Two, the unit does not have kindergartens and nurseries, children are helped by grandparents. Some people were sent back to their hometown in the countryside.
Third, you can also bring your own. In this case, the children's parents are working in three shifts (that is, on the night shift), so it is inconvenient to send them to kindergarten. For example, two railway workers, one is off duty, the other is at work, and there are usually people at home.
Four, the above three do not have, you can find a family with children, give them the children, and give them a monthly nanny fee. Send the children to their homes during the day and pick them up at night. Living conditions were not good in the 1980s, and there were not many apartments. Most of them live in complex buildings or dormitories, and there are few domestic nannies, so it is more common to send children to nannies.
Every time a law is passed, the method is always more difficult than it is. Today's children are happy. Kindergartens of all grades in the streets and alleys can choose by themselves as long as they have money, and they can learn a lot, so they won't really lose at the starting line.
