PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES
Each individual child has its own rhythm of learning, of understanding, with its own uniqueness, strengths and potential growth.
I offer children a safe space, companionship and support them, allowing opportunities for a positive learning process.
Supporting their physical skills, creativity and imagination processes, using all senses to inspire curiosity, awe and wonder.
Learning to trust their own judgement, helping to get over their insecurities.
Learning about sustainable behaviour, getting to know the environmentally friendly use of resources
Supporting individual processes in independency, self esteem, self motivation, positive mental attitude,
good social communication skills, empathy and a respectful attitude towards all beings.
"Help me, to do it all by myself" - M.Montessori
