Necessary documents when enrolling a child in kindergarten:

1. Health and prevention card of the child, completed by the personal physician

2. Data from the personal physician on the immunization status of the child

3. A one-time negative test result for pathogenic intestinal bacteria and intestinal parasites, carried out no earlier than 15 days before the child's admission to kindergarten.

For those parents, whose children go to kindergarten for the first time – be ready for a lot of viruses. Some children may get sick often, other ones not so much, but that is the right way the immune system to get stronger, which is good. As they grow up they will become healthier. Be patient.

Respiratory infections – mostly in the autumn – winter season, caused by viruses in 90% of the cases, and only 10% by bacteria. Well known symptoms as fever, sore throat, headache, fatigue, running nose, caught etc. If your child gets sick very often with runny nose we recommend examination of nasal secretions, to get the right treatment.

Varicella (chickenpox) – the most often case of infection disease, all children pass trough it and the earlier they got it, the better. Once infected, it builds immunity.

Spreads easily and it’s highly contagious. That’s why if we have case in the kindergarten we put the whole group under quarantine for 21 days. It means that they don’t mix with other groups, eat and play separately, on schedule. Do high disinfection in the room. Inform other parents, you decide wether you will let your child to the kindergarten, or you will wait for the quarantine period to be over.

Scarlatina – other highly contagious disease, it doesn’t build immunity. The quarantine period is 14 days. Same precautions as varicella

*If your child gets sick from varicella or scarlatina, first you need to take him/her to the doctor and send us a medical note that confirms the disease, otherwise we can not close the group. After the quarantine for the sickened child is over, we can accept him/her back with a doctor’s note that the child is no longer contagious. Meanwhile if there is another case in the same group, we extend the quarantine.

Below you will find information provided by the Metropolitan Regional Health Inspectorate.

What parents of children attending childcare facilities should know in the conditions of Covid-19.

1. In the case of a positive case of a child/teacher in the kindergarten:

· The group is quarantined.

· The remaining groups continue their visits in normal mode.

· RZI conducts an epidemiological study to determine contact persons. They are then quarantined with a prescription served on a parent/guardian.

· Health inspectors from RZI assess, in view of the specific situation, whether to carry out an examination of the contact persons (children/teachers/staff).

· The Covid-19 information system notifies GPs of any quarantined person among their patients.
