Our Take: Montessori WesołaMontessori Wesoła - is a private kindergarten and school - Montessori House and Private Primary School Montessori Wesoła - founded and run by Małgorzata Lewandowska-Szczepura, enthusiast of Montessori pedagogy. It is not surprising, therefore, that both facilities are run according to the requirements of this teaching method. The kindergarten community consists of two groups of children ("blue" and "green") between the ages of 2.5 and 6 years, who acquire knowledge and skills according to their development phases at their own pace - but under the watchful eye of the teacher, while watching the older ones and sometimes younger friends - as in a happy family. In accordance with the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, children have a natural curiosity about the world and learn the best themselves. The task of the school is to create the right housing and equipment, as well as the atmosphere of safety, in which the child's failures are not punished with a bad word or assessment, but they form the basis for further development. In the Montessori classes there is neither glamor nor accidental things - they are all useful and necessary, they have an educational function. These aids are within the reach of the child and are adapted to the stage of its development. An indispensable element of the didactic and educational work of the school is also the whole building and playground, in which children have many duties to fulfill (eg maintenance of order, work in the garden). In such conditions, playing, searching and experimenting, and fulfilling the roles assigned to them, they learn and develop intellectually, emotionally and socially, thereby realizing the goals set by the Polish educational program. At the same time, they learn English intensively, which provides them with a permanent presence of two teachers - Polish and English. For three years, according to Montessori pedagogy, the program at the Montessori Wesola primary school has been implemented.
