FOREST KINDERGARTEN
THE PRIVILEGE OF THE FOREST KINDERGARTEN
For years, we have been fostering the institution of a forest kindergarten, which is realized every week outside the city pollution, in the forest on the slopes of Avala. The program of the forest kindergarten includes content from the methods of familiarizing the preschool child with the environment, speech creativity and dramatic art, the area of development of initial mathematical concepts, musical, physical, artistic...
It takes place in Serbian and English. The activities are adapted to the natural environment and contain elements of the scouting program supported by the associates of the scouting detachment Vasa Čarapić.
By providing the opportunity to spend time in nature, sports facilities, organizing pleasant activities that give the child a sense of responsibility and concern for others, we encourage the most beautiful aspects of the child's personality.
WHY FOREST KINDERGARTEN?
Children are more resilient and healthier. The number of colds, allergies and other manifestations of a weakened immune system is reduced. There are no obese children
They are more active, they are given the opportunity to independently make decisions and assess risks, develop a sense of responsibility
The ability to self-evaluate is developed through gradual mastery of one's own capabilities
Concentration and balance develop
Self-confidence develops.
Better communication skills are developed, and with them, as well as with developed independence, better relations between parents and children are established.
Learning through experience is one of the most acceptable ways of acquiring knowledge that encourages the desire to learn
Stimulation of the senses and activities in nature (which we are deprived of by the modern way of life) which are responsible for the development of intelligence
The interactive relationship with nature touches our higher levels, returns us to our essence and cleanses us from the city's magnetization and pollution.
FROM A HEALTHY BODY TO A HEALTHY MIND
There are many reasons - from a healthy body, mind and
emotion to convenience for the community as a whole because our children of today will manage this planet tomorrow and decide on its survival. The institution of forest kindergartens is widespread in the countries of Europe, America and Asia and
highly valued by children, parents and pedagogues and has great support from the ministries.
We are pioneers in the organization of this type of kindergarten in Serbia and we hope for great support from institutions that increasingly recognize the benefits of the combination of children and nature.
