It provides care and education to about 140 children at the age 3 – 6. The children are divided into 6 groups of 15-25 children according to their age. Three groups have 2 teachers, the other three groups have one teacher and each groups is supported by a person of service staff.
The kindergarten is open from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The main activities take place from 9 AM to 3 PM and comprise of: didactic activities, outdoor activities, free play, excursions, extra events, optional activities, meals and self-service activities. During their stay in the kindergarten the pupils complete the core curriculum and have access to wide range of extra classes such as English, dancing, gymnastics, corrective therapy, Catholic religion and speech therapy, theater classes, fairy tale therapy. They participate in local events, celebrations and competitions, in which they present their skills and use them in practice.
💼 What the programme involves
Przedszkole Miejskie no. 4 and no. 5 are two out of three municipal kindergartens in Pułtusk. They provide everyday care and education to children aged 3 – 6. Kindergarten no. 4 offers integration classes with 1-3 children with developmental disorders or mild disabilities. Currently there are also children of Ukrainian refugees. The main activities are: didactic and outdoor activities, free play, excursions, events, art activities, meals and self-service activities. The main idea behind volunteering in the kindergartens is to implement an intercultural aspect to the education program. The volunteers assist teachers, but besides that there is a lot of space for personal initiative, such as organizing workshops, presentations, classes, which introduce their culture and language to the group. The volunteers teach foreign languages (mostly English) in an informal way through games, exercises, etc.
