Format

The learning program is divided into two parts. The period between 8-9:30 am is dedicated to the creative, symbolic and expressive use of a variety of tools and materials in ‘’handicraft’’ areas set up by the teacher , considered an integral part of the cognitive/symbolic expressions involved in learning. The period between 11-12:30 provides a more structured learning format for the children with experiments, hypothesis, discussions, sorting and comparing of materials recognizing symbols, graphic presentations, observations, documentation, story- telling, pre-writing skills and songs. The free out-door play time ranges from one to one and a half hours, depending on the age group and it combines free and organized outdoor play.
