How to send a child to kindergarten?

We talk about the documents required for admission and gardens where they speak Russian.

Kindergartens accept children 1.5–6 years old. Some children's centers enroll from the age of 3.

Age groups in municipal gardens:

• "Junior 1" - 2-3 years;
• "Younger 2" - 3-4 years;
• "Medium" - 4-5 years;
• "Senior" - 5-6 years.

The maximum number of children in a group is 30.

Opening hours are from 8:30 to 18:30 or from 9:00 to 19:00. In private kindergartens, there are flexible hours or half-day employment.

Municipal kindergartens teach only in Armenian; if there are Russian speakers in the group, then the educators can communicate with them in Russian. In private kindergartens they speak Armenian, Russian, in many institutions children are taught English.

Both municipal and private kindergartens prepare children for school.

You can chat with other parents in Armenia at Telegram chats.

On average, a month in kindergarten costs about 110,000 drams. One of the most expensive kindergartens is "Villa Montessori" - 300,000 AMD per month for the senior group, 220,000 AMD per month for the junior group. Cheap in the kindergarten "LoLo" - 40,000 AMD per month and "Ship" - 42,000 AMD per month.

The cost varies depending on the area (more expensive in Kentron and Arabkir) and the capacity of the kindergarten.

In some kindergartens and children's centers, a discount is due when paying for the whole year at once and for the admission of two children.
