Our in-company preschools and their educational program

Our educational programs are following the Framework Educational Program for Preschool Education published by the Czech Ministry of Education.

All activities are planned and put into practice in such a way that all children have opportunity to take part in them. Among these are:

• Spontaneous play
• Cooperative games
• Experimenting
• Psycho-motoric exercises
• Trips
• Work with encyclopaedias
• Work with natural material

Preschoolers take courses in grapho-motorics and preschool education. If needed, we are glad to recommend a speech therapist or other specialists from a pedagogical-psychological agency.

When choosing pedagogical methods, we use especially:

• Community circle
• Experiential learning
• Guided individual activities
• Guided group activities

 

 

From our regular events:

• Children's Birthday celebrations
• St. Nicholas' visit
• Christmas party
• Christmas with grandmas and grandpas in an old people's home

Curriculum

The school year is divided into 4 main themes and each into several integrated blocks connected by one common theme. Each block fulfills several specific goals in all elementary preschool educational fields. Each block also covers observations of activities in different seasons, changes in nature, animals' behaviour, weather changes, national customs, work in the garden and at home, work with literature, work in the Laboratory.
The aim of the specific curriculum is to develop the child's speaking and interpretation abilities, mathematic perception, time concept, child`s elementary independence, ear for music and freedom in art expression.

Outcomes of children`s work
