Our educational program
Our basic goal is not to change the children. On the contrary, we want every child to remain “himself/herself” teach them to make use of the potential they have for their own development.
We create an environment for the children in which they can feel safe and that stimulates their natural inquisitiveness and interest in everything they do not yet know. We search for stimuli and activities for them that allow them to realize their potential. With all our activities, we try to work on the children’s individuality and allow every child to develop himself/herself with our support, in his/her own natural way and pace.
We try to teach the children the basics of what they will need throughout their lives, no matter where they end up. We want the children to learn to be independent, to be able to communicate well and to express their own opinions, as well as reach an agreement with those whose opinions may be different. We do not want to theorize about ideas with the children, we want them to try as many things as possible on their own, practically (from sports, to cooking, to caring for the environment), to perceive as many things as possible with their own senses and to remember as much as possible of them.
Bambino was created for children. Hence, we engage the children in the life of the nursery and the pre-school as much as possible. Therefore, the children help us create and revise the rules that are universally followed by all at Bambino. We consult the children on programming matters and we evaluate both our nursery and the pre-school together with the children and adjust them subsequently.
The methodology of our work is divided into the following areas:
- Me and practical life
- Me and language
- Me and numbers
- Me, health and the world
- Me and my friends
