In our kindergarten the teachers strive to build a bridge between home and school and to form a connection with the whole family. Seasonal plays and festivals are shared with the community. Parents' evenings are held and lunches and other social events are often organised. Teachers make every effort to go on home visits in order to form a deeper bond with each child.
In the daily creative play time the children often re-enact what they have experienced. They embrace play wholeheartedly and transform the classroom to meet their needs.
Because the activity and learning, process of the young child are largely unconscious, it is essential that we give a strong framework of rhythm, routine and repetition both at home and in the kindergarten. At home regular bedtimes, shared meals, restful moments and enjoyable walks help bring about peace and harmony for the whole family.
Tea time is an important social occasion and a time to be grateful and thankful for what we are about to receive. The children benefit from being in the mixed age groups which are from 4 to 6 or 7. Older ones helping and caring for the younger ones, gain a valuable and concerned awareness for others, while younger ones become aware of being cared for and looked after.
