📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

"Magic Sevens" - Municipal Kindergarten number 77 is located in a self-standing building not far away from the city center of Cracow. Kindergarten started its didactic and educational activities on May 1, 1961. Many years of experience led to creation of a modern educational facility meeting high housing and didactic standards. Our rooms are equipped with didactic aids, toys and equipment in which children are happy to spend time playing and learning. Each room is equipped with a rich and diverse set of modern toys, games, utensils, and teaching aids adjusted to the age of children from particular groups. There are 6 groups of children in kindergarten: DWARFS - 3-year-old children, SMURFS - 4-year-old, WIZARDS - 4- and 5-year-old, ELVES - 5-year-old, GNOMES - 5- and 6-year-old children, DRAGONS - 6-year-old children. Each group consists of twenty five children. All groups are led by qualified teachers and additionally in the youngest children group there is also a teacher’s assistant. Kindergarten is open five days a week, from Monday till Friday. During the day kids have many various educational activities in which they participate as a whole group, individual and pair work. Besides that, kids participate in the trips and educational walks, various games and plays outdoors, elements of gymnastics and different routine activities. The kindergarten has: didactic sales equipped with sports equipment, aids for physical activities and dance gymnastics, aerobics, little climbing wall, ballroom dancing lessons or English lessons, a beautiful, large garden with ecological devices. The main goal of teachers' activities is to support and guide the child's development in accordance with its innate potential and development opportunities in relations with the social, cultural and natural environment, and to create a joyful atmosphere for learning and playing.

💼 What the programme involves

All volunteers would be responsible for helping kids in everyday indoor and outdoor activities and routines. Their stay is valid in young learners’ education. The teacher will be able to introduce such topics as tolerance to different nations and moreover, they could increase kids’ awareness that they are responsible for the future of Europe. By everyday contact, pupils will get familiar with their habits and culture. What is most important, they will have the possibility to know better the living language. The whole kindergarten community will have the chance to cooperate, co-work and integrate with volunteers.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live with other volunteers in the apartment. S/he will share the room with other volunteers (rooms for 2 sometimes 3 persons) close to the city center. The kitchen and bathroom will be shared with other flatmates. The room will be equipped with basic furniture and kitchen equipment. You don’t need to bring your own things, like cutlery, plates or bed-cloths. Local transport: Volunteers will get the bus and tram card for all the lines accessible in Krakow.

🎒 Leisure activities

Taking care o safety in the work environment our kindergarten organizes, just after the arrival of the volunteer, special training about safety. The person who will be working for us will be controlled by the group teacher. We will try to avoid critical situations on a daily basis. The Director of the kindergarten and project coordinator will keep watch on this. The project coordinator will organize volunteers after a work time. Volunteers will be invited for workshops meetings on the pedagogical committee and meetings of the whole personnel of the kindergarten.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We search for volunteers that are motivated and willing to dedicate their work to children. We do not expect the volunteers to have a lot of previous experience in work with children. From experience, we know that motivation is more important than experience in this kind of work. Work in the kindergarten can be demanding - children do not speak foreign languages and they can be the time-consuming and demanding group to take care of. We need volunteers that like working with children (from 3 to 6 years old) and can create and lead their own activities.
Deadline: Application deadline: 21/08/2022
