Our approach
In our kindergartens, we strive to build an environment that is very close to home. Therefore, we treat each child as a unique individual. We listen to them, and respect the rules they are used to from their family. We want them to feel safe and comfortable in every situation. This makes it easier for the child to learn the daily routine of the kindergarten and fit into the community.
Children are naturally curious and are eager to learn. It is important for their development that they explore the world with enthusiasm and enjoyment. We strive to be observers first and offer children the widest possible range of activities that suit their interests. We pay special attention to building a positive relationship with nature and understanding its principles.
Educational programme EduArt
Our educational programme is built on the belief that every child is unique and needs a slightly different path to discovering the world. That is why we get to know each child well, follow their needs, interests and strengths, and create space for them to grow where their natural potential lies.
We draw on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and offer children rich ways of learning – through movement, creativity, music, language, logical thinking, collaboration and personal experience. The programme also incorporates drama education, elements of the Hejný method, and above all experiential and project-based learning, through which children do not merely learn about the world but truly experience it.
We guide children towards independence, curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration and healthy self-confidence. Our goal is not for all children to achieve the same thing at the same time, but for each of them to be able to take their own next step.
An important part of EduArt is also a safe, respectful and stimulating environment where a child can feel accepted and where the kindergarten naturally builds on the family. We therefore work with parents as partners and together we follow what each child needs for their further development.
Daily regime
In a healthy daily routine, children find structure, security, and peace. At the same time, we keep the daily schedule flexible enough to meet each children individual needs.
The daily regime revolves around so-called rituals, including morning circles, regular outdoor activities, fairytale storytelling, or bedtime lullabies. Once a week, we go on a morning excursion and adapt the programme accordingly.
