Explore, Learn, Experiment, and Study the Environment!
Environmental Studies is a broad concept with a wide range of topics, including subjects like Culture, Geography, Biology, History, Civic Education, Health Education, and more, which are adapted to each theme we explore. Children at the Mikros Maestros Kindergarten in Thessaloniki explore, learn, and discover how to interpret the general elements of the world around them, become sensitive to the protection of the environment, explore their knowledge of living organisms, and discover the basic characteristics of the structure and properties of materials.
The topics are presented to children through rich audio-visual material, encyclopedias, school books, the use of educational learning tools, and through visits and excursions that are organized monthly to museums, farms, planetariums, zoological gardens, fire stations, American Agricultural School, and more.
Our goal is, through observation and exploration, to help children enrich their knowledge and reinforce the information of each topic. After all, our basic belief is that children primarily absorb things and information when they have the opportunity to experience them.
