What makes our preschool special?
We are the first educational institution in Poland to have implemented a program based on the SCERTS Model, following the latest research results in neurodidactics and education (e.g. Prizant et al, 2006).
- According to the SCERTS Model foundations we focus on social communication, emotional regulation and transactional support.
- Our work is subject to continuous supervision.
We are a private preschool with an individual approach to each child. We guarantee small groups and employ high-quality staff, including psychologist and native speaker, in order to provide children with the best care and education.
- The number of children in each group doesn’t exceed 14.
- Currently there are as many as 4 caregivers/teachers in each group.
We are committed to accompany children and their parents in their everyday emotions.
- We understand that our prescholers have the right to feel various emotions, including anger and sorrow, especially during the adaptation period.
- Parents are welcome to accompany their children during each stage of adaptation process in our preschool.
We are a bilingual preschool. We employ a native speaker and a qualified English teacher.
- One the teachers in each group communicates with children only in English.
- Our preschoolers have a contact with the English language all the day long (in accordance with the language immersion method).
In our preschool we offer healthy nutrition, with focus on the following:
- Food quality (e.g. groats, fruits & vegetables, grain legumes, wholegrain flour, products rich in fibre and nutrients).
- Cooking methods (e.g. we avoid frying, coating or adding high-processed products).
We have a private and fully fenced playground, used by our preschoolers on a regular basis.
- We arrange for our pupils to spend a lot of time outdoors every day (regardless of the current weather conditions).
- This is why we ask parents to provide their children with raincoats and rubber boots.
We focus on psychical and emotional well-being of our preschoolers, as the proper emotional regulation is one of the main keystones of the SCERTS Model.
- For each group we employ at least one psychologist with the master’s degree and experience in working with children in preschool and school age.
- We use the non-directive approach supporting the children’s socioemotional growth.
We pay a special attention at things our preschoolers use for play and education. As for toys, tools and teaching aids used in our preschool:
- They have been carefully selected by a team of experts including psychologist, educator and qualified sensory integration therapist.
- They have required certificates and are made only of natural and well-proven materials.
Our preschool is the place especially welcoming for children requiring individual approach for various reasons.
- We have a long-time experience in care and education of children with special educational needs.
- On the basis of in-depth diagnostics we provide our preschoolers with the comprehensive program of supporting and therapeutical activities.
