Why " MINI-GARDEN "
- We pay a lot of attention to walking on the street .
- In the green area near Happy Nest there is a playground made of natural materials , where children get the most out of walking . Obstacle course , wooden structures, houses , materials for construction and construction , games with sand and water , a green area all allow you to spend time outdoors having something fun and useful to do .
- The main activity of children in our institution is play .
- This means that children learn by playing . The teacher creates an environment for the game , in which the learning process takes place constantly . The
teacher becomes a constant partner of children in the game , which leads them on the path of Discovery and Knowledge .

Children study in a specially equipped classroom according to the method of Maria Montessori , which is harmoniously combined with the methods of our institution .
the Montessori group we use 5 main forms of work :
- Presentation – the teacher demonstrates to the child or group of children how to use this or that educational material correctly .
- Work in a “circle” – group work and thematic communication of children with the teacher .
- Independent work of a child with Montessori – material under the supervision of a teacher .
- Collective creative work .
- Rhythmically – music lessons .
All these types of work are interconnected and complementary .
In order for each child to be able to analyse the material and improve the skills they need , we arrange the materials sequentially , from simple to more complex , using the method of zoning the room .
