Model SCERTS Preschool | Private Kindergarten Ursus Warsaw

Why us?

1. We have many years of expe­rien­ce in the child­ca­re edu­ca­tion, which inc­lu­des:

  • admi­ni­stra­tion of many pri­va­te edu­ca­tio­nal faci­li­ties for chil­dren (e.g. day­ca­re cen­ter + pre­scho­ol cen­ter + pri­va­te pre­scho­ol + pri­ma­ry scho­ol),
  • long-time expe­rien­ce in care and edu­ca­tion of chil­dren with spe­cial edu­ca­tio­nal needs (e.g. ASD: autism spec­trum disor­der),  
  • com­pre­hen­si­ve psy­cho­lo­gi­cal care for chil­dren at vario­us ages.

2. We have cre­ated a pla­ce of real­ly inno­va­ti­ve edu­ca­tion – the Ursus SCERTS Pre­scho­ol is the first pri­va­te pre­scho­ol in Poland run in accor­dan­ce with the main assump­tions of the SCERTS Model, accor­ding to: B. Pri­zant, A. Wether­by, E. Rubin, and A. Lau­rent (Pri­zant et al, 2006). More infor­ma­tion abo­ut the SCERTS Model can be also found on the websi­te: http://www.SCERTS.com  and on https://www.facebook.com/The-SCERTS-Model

3. Our faci­li­ty is loca­ted in War­sa­w’s Ursus district (Sko­ro­sze) near a shop­ping mall. We have a pri­va­te (ful­ly fen­ced) play­gro­und with a mud kit­chen, a play­ho­use, and with many other attrac­tions for chil­dren. 

4. As part of the tuition fee, we have pre­pa­red a very diver­se pro­gram of daily acti­vi­ties and for some extra-cur­ri­cu­lar acti­vi­ties for all our pre­scho­olers.

5. We orga­ni­ze many addi­tio­nal acti­vi­ties at our pre­scho­ol (e.g. ani­mal the­ra­py + chil­dre­n’s the­ater + sen­so­ry expe­ri­ments + cre­ati­ve work­shops) – all inc­lu­ded in the tuition fee and witho­ut any hid­den fees.

6. As a part of daily the­ma­tic clas­ses, we imple­ment the one-year-round edu­ca­tio­nal plan of the Polish Mini­stry of Natio­nal Edu­ca­tion cur­ri­cu­lum (MEN) – using vario­us mul­ti-sen­so­ry methods and dif­fe­rent teaching aids

7. We always try to main­ta­in the right balan­ce betwe­en chil­dre­n’s free play time and with more struc­tu­red edu­ca­tion accor­ding to the Polish Mini­stry of Natio­nal Edu­ca­tion cur­ri­cu­lum. Fur­ther­mo­re, all toys and all of our teaching aids have been spe­cial­ly selec­ted by a team of spe­cia­li­sts – this ensu­res that the free time play with peers (LEAPP: Lear­ning and Play­ing with Peers accor­ding to the SCERTS Model) also has an edu­ca­tio­nal dimen­sion.

8. In each gro­up of our pre­scho­olers, chil­dren are super­vi­sed by at least three-four per­son:

  • an English-spe­aking teacher (nati­ve spe­aker) – who com­mu­ni­ca­tes with chil­dren exc­lu­si­ve­ly in English at the who­le day-stay. 
  • a pre­scho­ol teacher – who is also an English-teacher and who con­ducts the eve­ry­day-daily clas­ses based on the pre­scho­ol cur­ri­cu­lum (MEN). 
  • child psy­cho­lo­gist (8h/day) – with many years of a pro­fes­sio­nal expe­rien­ce in caring for the pre­scho­ol and ear­ly scho­ol age chil­dren.
