Our kindergarten is a place where children can play, run around and explore the environment in constant contact with nature. A place where adults act as mediators in the learning process. Creative and challenging activities are developed based on the interests of the groups, which come up with themes for projects. Multilingualism and multiculturalism are present in the kindergarten's daily routine. Kinderland Curitiba is an environment in which childhood is respected and seen as a phase full of possibilities.

Pedagogical proposal

Based on the approaches of Friedrich Fröbel and Maria Montessori, among others, Kinderland Curitiba seeks to develop children's individuality, freedom, autonomy and self-confidence.

Teachers encourage children to take on responsibilities and deal with situations that favour their own development, such as hanging their own backpack on the hook, taking care of their objects and personal hygiene, relating to others and asking for help with more complex tasks.

‘Play is the work of the child’. This phrase by Maria Montessori demonstrates the structural role of play in the development of children's motor, cognitive, emotional and social skills. Alongside planned and directed activities, free play, during which children explore the environment and choose what to do based on their own interests, is an important pillar of the school routine.

Another cornerstone of the work in Early Childhood Education is the acquisition of the German language through immersion, in which the language permeates all day-to-day activities. The children naturally acquire the additional language through songs, games and play and through the continuous use of German with the pedagogical team.

Stimulating the development of logical thinking is also a key point of the kindergarten's purpose. In order to achieve that, teachers employ playful stimulation appropriate for each age group, using concrete resources, along with various materials brought from Germany. By stimulating memory, creativity and attention, these tasks form the understructure for the construction of logical-analytical thinking.

Early childhood education is the foundation of every educational process. It is at this stage of intense neural plasticity that the constitution of logical reasoning must be initiated in an intentional and structured way. This is the basis for meeting the growing challenges that arise in the following stages of the academic path.

Kinderland Curitiba's bilingual curriculum articulates all these fundamentals through a project-based learning methodology. Children are motivated to share their own repertoire and eagerness about the proposed topics. When interest and curiosity are present, learning happens spontaneously and effectively.
