ESC @ Montessori Kindergarden
Description
We offer 1 place in Montessori kindergarten:
In Montessori kindergarten you will work in a team consisting of 10 teachers and social workers who deal with around 80 kids in pre-school age (between 2 and 6 years old). The thoughts and visions of Maria Montessori are the centre of the educational conviction, mainly in reference to the idea of the child, the role of the teacher and the view on the world surrounding the child. In the kindergarten there are many children with migration background, and we have been working with Spanish natives for ten years. As an integrational Kindergarden, we also deal with kids with physical and psychical disadvantages. We see differences, not important if visible or not, as an enrichment of our cohabitation.
We are looking forward to welcoming a European volunteer who give us new impulses, and we made many positive experiences in the past. We are interested in cultural exchange, many influences and elements from individual people to give the children a real impression of our varied world.
Tasks:
The volunteer supports the workers in their daily routines with the kids and shall set up own small or bigger projects in the kindergarten. He/she will get to know the pedagogic concept in praxis. The volunteer will focus on the elder groups (4–6 years old). He/She will organize celebrations, get to know and co-arrange the work with the kids and parents; participate in important processes like preparing elder kids for school. He/she shall actively enter aspects of his/her own culture into the daily life with the kids and create special projects around this.
