Basics

Playing, learning and growing together!

Our educational work is guided by an attitude of appreciation an respect for the uniqueness and individuality of  every child entrusted to our care.

We strive to accept every child for who thy are, to recognise and respect their individual life experiances and backgrounds, to take their worries and difficulties seriously, and to share in their joy and happiness. In this way we aim to build an emotional bond with th children and create an atmosphere of warmth, security an belonging for them at the "Ev. Kita Lydia".

Based on our understanding of children, we believe that leraning is about much more than simply imparting knowledge.

Early childhood learning is motivated by experiances an hands-on exploration (in the truest sense of the word), interest, curiosity, a desire to discover, the joy of movement, time, age-appropriate materials, opportunities to gain experiance outside the setting, self-determination, a sense of agency and shared decision-making.

We accompany the children on their learning journeys by recognising their individual steps, giving them the time and space they need, creating the right conditions, encouraging them and praising their efforts. We support them in developing a sense of agency and experiencing joy and pride in what they have achieved.

The child from the very beginning is seen as:

• An individual who activly acts on their own behalf.
• The driving force behind their own development, particulary through movement and acticity.
• A competent, capable and intentional individual.
• An explorer of the world.
• Capable of self-determination and autonomy
