Kindergarden “Patronus”
“Patronus” is a partner kindergarten of “Newton Free School,” where the children themselves contribute to the creation of the curriculum. In the kindergarten environment, every child is an active participant in the process, with their unique thoughts, ideas, and questions being valued and taken into account. The curriculum is developed through careful observation, considering their strengths and interests.
Project-based learning is a significant component of the educational process, grounded in research-based learning. Through exploration and questioning, children satisfy their curiosity and acquire new understandings. They express, share, present, and solidify their knowledge and experiences. According to the vision of the “Patronus” kindergarten, each child is perceived as a strong, hardworking, independent, curious, and imaginative individual.
The primary objective of “Patronus” is to strengthen thinking, cognitive, and research skills in children, fostering their development into independent individuals capable of making responsible choices and decisions.
