Small Preschool Section for Children Aged 3 to 4 Years
This section includes children aged 3-4 years. At this stage, children make a significant leap from the toddler phase to the preschool stage. This developmental journey is supported and enhanced by a team of specially trained educators in collaboration with professional specialists, aiming to create an intervention program that respects the uniqueness of each student and individually addresses their needs.
The goal of our educational community is to create an environment in which each student is approached individually, develops, and is prepared for the next developmental stages. The starting point is the existing knowledge and local context of each child, which we use to select the appropriate tools and techniques. In this way, we create a multisensory educational framework, where each child has the opportunity to develop both cognitively and social-emotionally. The child begins to “learn how to learn”, builds new knowledge independently, and develops skills necessary for life!
The educational team, in collaboration with professional specialists, sets goals in each of the aforementioned developmental areas, respecting the different learning styles and paces of the student community. The goal of the intervention programs is to promote the holistic social-emotional and cognitive development of the students. Specifically, teaching is organized according to the following areas:
• Personal and Social Development
Learning self-care, hygiene rules, developing social and teamwork skills, communication skills, self-regulation, emotion management, ways of coping with situations, and fostering empathy.
• Natural Sciences and Environment
Through observation and reflection, we aim to cultivate logical thinking and spatial orientation. Our children learn about animals, plants, traffic education, weather changes, and many other interesting and useful topics.
• Arts
Utilizing music, dance, and theater as tools for self-expression and exploring the world around us, along with exposure to a variety of materials and media.
• Physical Education
We focus on gross motor skills, fine motor skills, perceptual-motor skills, physical fitness, body awareness, cooperation, and the application of rules—all achieved through physical education.
• Language
Focusing on developing oral language, expanding vocabulary through pre-writing exercises.
• Mathematics and Technology
Through counting, shapes, understanding the concept of time, and educational computer games, we aim to introduce children to the fields of mathematics and technology.
