UNDERSTAND CHILDREN AGED 6-12 YEARS

The videos address common questions that children have, such as why winter is cold and why 10 minutes sometimes feel too short, emphasizing the importance of imagination and logical thinking during these formative years.

By collaborating with schools and authorities, we aim to improve educational processes in schools and at home. We want to build a community where parents can find up-to-date information, share insights, learn, and grow together. Through our activities such as webinars, online modules, and staff meetings, we strive to empower educators and parents with the knowledge and strategies to implement effective Montessori-based education.
