Yle e altri punti vendita stanno cercando di determinare se i centri di asilo nido giganti con 200 bambini sono buoni o cattivi. In questo contesto, Helsinki (e probabilmente Espoo e Vantaa?) Sta chiudendo tutti i piccoli centri di asilo nido e li sta unendo a quelli giganti.
Sulla base della mia esperienza, i piccoli asili (40 bambini) sono migliori per i bambini perché offrono maggiore flessibilità e i bambini formano legami più stretti. Tuttavia, i genitori i cui figli frequentano solo i grandi centri di asilo nido potrebbero non essere consapevoli della differenza. Detto questo, sono d’accordo sul fatto che, indipendentemente dalle dimensioni dell’asilo, il personale è sempre eccellente.
In termini di costo e risorse umane, i grandi centri di asilo nido sono più efficienti.

I don’t think the size is actually the underlying problem. Aiming for efficiency as the first priority is the problem and size is just a symptom. The big daycares are environments devoid of nature and “soft” things. All the new daycares I have seen are concrete, asphalt, articifial grass, no nature around or in them. The kids don’t have the same teachers. The teachers don’t like their employers. Everything is bureaucratic.
My kids are older so not relevant to me personally at the moment- but I’d say that the groups are likely not very different regardless of the daycare’s size. And in my experience the kids would make friends within their group rather than the whole daycare. My kids were in the same place at the same time but in different groups and they saw each other rarely while there, even when they were outside their groups had a fence between them so not much interaction. They made great friends from their groups though. And this was an average daycare of five groups if I recall correctly.
Flexibility? In what sense? Would also make sense that a bigger center has lots of flexibility when it comes to organizing personnel in case one group has a carer on sick leave etc. A very small center might struggle with the situation if even a one person is sick from the head count.
So both have pros and cons for sure. But just saying that a center is big doesn’t mean the kids are in there in a giant group. For the kids it’s probably more or less the same as a smaller place within their own group.
