Meet the victories: how the Belgorod teacher wins grants and takes first places in competitions

Svetlana Mozgovaya is the head of a large kindergarten and the author of the practice, which was included in the top 100 of the Education Flagships project. How did she do that?

Fuse and spirit

Previously, Svetlana was a teacher in a small kindergarten and often replaced his head. Once in the institution was repaired, and the contractors failed. Then the young teacher decided to go straight to the Department of education. Supervising preschool education, the department employee saw indifference and enrolled Svetlana in the reserve of city leaders. Soon she headed kindergarten number 39.

When Svetlana came, the garden took 12th place in the city ranking. After a couple of years of her leadership, the institution entered the top 3.

In 2014, the teacher headed kindergarten No. 74 “Fun”. There are 11 groups and more than 200 children. The team employs about 60 people.

Under Svetlana, the garden three times won grants from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. So there was a consulting center, two computers with an interactive panel, a lot of office equipment. This year, the kindergarten won two more grants: 1.1 million rubles from the Russian Society “Knowledge” and 150 thousand rubles from OMK “Partnership”. With this money, the Family Academy of Young Ecolates “Green Patrol” will appear in the institution.

Call to mentor

The teacher herself became the winner of professional skills competitions. For example, in 2023 she became a laureate of the All-Russian competition “Teachers of Russia” in the nomination “Mentor is a vocation!”.

And in 2025, she won the track “Mentorship” of the “Flagships of Education” project of the presidential platform “Russia – the Land of Opportunities”. For him, together with the headmaster of the school from Abakan, a project on the continuity of the kindergarten and school was developed.

So there was a "Notebook of a passionate teacher." In the garden at Svetlana was the development of “Working notebook of personal professional growth”. It has five blocks: personal development, professional growth, introspection, psychological block and innovation. The couple decided to adapt the idea for the school. And the jury liked it so much that an expert from Voronezh asked to send a notebook and methodological recommendations to use in her school.

“You don’t go to win one hundred percent, you go to go through stages, learn new things, assess your competences. And then bring it to the team, to your kindergarten, and grow together, said the teacher about what inspires her to participate in competitions.
