ABSTRACT This article demonstrates how social exclusion affects the strategies that migrants and their children experience vis-à-vis the preschool education system of the host society. We use the example of two private institutions established in Moscow by Kyrgyz migrants to explore their role in helping integrate migrant children into the host society. I examine the role the Kyrgyz community plays in the life of labour migrants in Moscow, and why private migrant infrastructure is created today by people from this particular country, though eventually migrants from other countries use it as well. I find that in recent years migrants have been creating private infrastructure in Russia as an alternative to the public one. It replaces state institutions for migrants that are not accessible to them. Migrants also view it as one of the channels for entering the Russian society and state institutions. These centres do not so much help migrants’ children escape social isolation as compensate for the lack of adjustment programmes in Russian schools.

在社会排斥条件下创建的教育基础设施：莫斯科移民儿童的“吉尔吉斯俱乐部”

摘要 本文展示了社会排斥如何影响移民及其子女相对于东道国学前教育系统所经历的策略。我们以吉尔吉斯移民在莫斯科建立的两个私立机构为例，探讨它们在帮助移民儿童融入东道国社会方面的作用。我研究了吉尔吉斯社区在莫斯科劳工移民生活中所扮演的角色，以及为什么今天这个特定国家的人创建了私人移民基础设施，尽管最终来自其他国家的移民也使用它。我发现近年来，移民一直在俄罗斯建立私人基础设施，作为公共基础设施的替代方案。它取代了移民无法进入的国家机构。移民还将其视为进入俄罗斯社会和国家机构的渠道之一。这些中心并没有帮助移民的孩子摆脱社会孤立，而是弥补了俄罗斯学校缺乏适应计划的不足。
