Mug and class reviews
The Palace of Pioneers (Chelyabinsk) is the largest children's extracurricular institution in the region that implements additional education programs as part of the general development of personality, career guidance, moral and patriotic education. Chelyabinsk citizens are happy to write children in sections, circles and creative groups. Reception of applications lasts the entire period of the summer holidays and often there are not enough places for everyone. Parents argue that children become more disciplined, interested in the learning process and rejoice in victories, seeing the end result of their efforts.
One of the most successful projects of the Pioneer House is summer school camps where you can enroll a child. Most parents who are familiar with the work of the institution try to take this opportunity. According to their impressions, children during the day do not just communicate, but gain additional knowledge, attend excursions, learn new skills and acquire independence skills.
Almost all of those who left comments talk about a rich program of classes and that it is interesting for children to self-actualize in different types of creativity. In this regard, parents note a pleasant feature - a large number of budget places. There is no need to spend huge amounts while the child is in search of his calling and trying to reveal talents. But when everything has already been decided, there are situations that it is necessary to switch to a commercial form of cooperation with the children's center. Most do not mind, especially if the child has understood what he will do.
For 75 years of activity, the children's institution has brought up several generations of Chelyabinsk residents, and therefore many rely on their own experience, fond memories, and understand the benefits of the influence of extracurricular activities on the further development of personality. Parents are happy to provide their children with a choice of occupation in the Palace of Pioneers (Chelyabinsk). Phone for inquiries and additional information can be clarified on the organization’s website.
