Cultural
All the things we offer to children should serve their minds as keys which allow them to open the doors of the universe which surrounds them. Dr Maria Montessori "Creative Development in the Child"
The Cultural area is divided in to four parts: biology, geography, history and science. Biology where we give children insight of relationship between the sun and the planets, geography where he/she discovers the sun as a driving force of the solar system, in history we begin with the creation of the earth and prehistoric times. In science we help children examine the properties of sunlight. |
Biology
In biology children learn about their environment through the nature table, nature walks, and the preschool garden. Concepts learned in other areas help them to understand nature. We offer children an insight about the sun in relation to plants and animals, farm animals, their families, puzzles, pairing cards, terminology cards, life cycles and natural habitats.

Geography
In geography we try to start from the creation of earth, solar system, to continents, countries, provinces, states, cities, towns and so on. We try to celebrate different festivals so that children are aware of other cultures as well. It helps them to understand the similarities and differences between people all around the world.

History
Science
Science with children is done in fun way, in the form of experiments. It's starts with a discussion and them leads to an idea. We do simple things like magnets, objects that can float or sink, animate and inanimate objects. Cooking simple foods allow the children to use measurement and follow a recipe (procedure).
