• Dream building

We strive for a child’s dream to become an impetus for the child’s development, stimulate his imagination, creativity and curiosity. And encouraged children to create. Children draw a dream, talk about a dream, depict a dream with the help of movements, embody a dream in their games. Without a dream, there is no space for a happy childhood.

• An integrated approach

Our author’s development program is integrated. It means that it is based on the understanding that the child perceives the world holistically. Therefore, the proposed development/educational activities should naturally model the surrounding world, where everything is interconnected. In this case, the main focus is on the child and his educational needs, not the schedule.

In order to encourage the child to learn about the world, we have formulated problematic questions, combined into the topics of the weeks. By performing various interesting tasks, the child has the opportunity to simultaneously develop social, linguistic, natural, technological and artistic (at an early age – motor skills), civic, mathematical skills and deepen specific knowledge based on the experience of important experiences for the child.

• Design thinking

Children are not given a ready-made solution, they have to work it out by observing, researching and reasoning. Therefore, typical children’s questions, usual events become the subject of an educational/developmental situation. For example, during the study of the topic “Water”, we learned not only about Ukrainian family customs related to water, but also about whether it is possible to live without water, why water, ice and steam are relatives, we observed precipitation and made “water” experiments. And at the end of the week, we implemented the project — we purified the water.
