From September 1, at the Child Development Center – kindergarten No. 17 in Saransk, children will study at the Young Chemist laboratory, which is part of the Profvertical cluster training model for the pharmaceutical industry: from kindergarten to Enterprise.

On the eve of Children's Day, the Head of Mordovia, Artyom Zdunov, came to talk with young citizens.

Kindergarten No. 17 was built under the federal program "Incentive", and the main thing here is considered to be the wellness area. Swimming pool, water aerobics, infrared sauna, oxygen cocktail and massage are all used to reduce the seasonal morbidity of children and increase immunity. The gym has modern exercise equipment, and all the seats are occupied by active kids. The art studio, sensory room, computer lab and dance studio are also not empty.

But the guests were most interested in the laboratory "Young Chemist", which will start operating in kindergarten on September 1 in the framework of cooperation with JSC "BIOCHEMIST". Russia's leading pharmaceutical company, located in Saransk, uses this model as part of a training project for the industry.

It is worth noting that the laboratory is equipped with a dozen workstations, each equipped with a microscope and a set of all reagents and devices necessary for conducting real experiments.

The head of the kindergarten, Juliet Bikmurzina, told the Head of the republic that 60 parents had already wished their children to start studying natural sciences. "This colorful workbook for a young chemist was developed in collaboration with Pedagogue 13., there is a cooperation agreement with Saransk school No. 17, whose graduates choose a biochemical direction when applying to universities," she said.

Artyom Zdunov was also shown a shrimp hatchery. This is an elementary but very interesting experience – young naturalists will be able to observe the entire process of live shrimp growth from eggs in a special solution. The Regional Ministry of Education has allocated a special rate for a teacher of additional education who is engaged in career guidance work with children.

The Head of Mordovia wished success to the children from the senior group, who are preparing to go to first grade this year, when he asked: "Do you want to go to school?" and heard a friendly "Yes!" In response, and presented several sets of table hockey to those who remain in the cozy kindergarten walls – after all, even the most serious scientific Research does not cancel out your favorite children's games!
