Being close to the child, listening attentively, treating them with respect and empathy. In our view, the most important element in early education is closeness in the relationship with the child. We draw on the principles of Attachment Parenting.

ENGLISH ALL DAY
Przedszkole dwujęzyczne. Jeden z opiekunów rozmawia z dziećmi w języku angielskim – metoda immersji językowej. Dodatkowo codziennie lekcje języka angielskiego.
NVC
Everyone matters. We do not judge, create pressure, or use rewards and punishments. We communicate using the language of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). We support each child’s sense of safety and inner harmony by respecting all emotions and being attentive to their needs. By naming emotions, children learn to recognize their own feelings and those of others.
MONTESSORI
We create a space for children’s independence, overcoming challenges, and finding their own solutions. We follow the child’s interests, nurturing curiosity and imagination. By trusting their abilities, we allow them to learn through their own experiences.
