“The purpose of education is to encourage and guide man as a conscious, thinking and perceiving being in such a way that he becomes a pure and perfect representation of that divine inner law through his own personal choice; education must show him the ways and meanings of attaining that goal”.
(Friedrich Froebel 1826 Die Menschenerziehung, pp. 2)
Our Kindergarten Project :
Children begin kindergarten with many different levels and backgrounds. The knowledge and skills children acquire in kindergarten and first grade can serve as a foundation for their later educational success. Children’s knowledge and skill isn’t grown by it self.
Parents have to learn the concept and curriculum of kindergarten, before they decide to register admission their children in. Formal basic education which starts by kindergarten is very important in developing children’s future. It helps them become self-supporting, independent and – finally – SUCCES! It would be helpful – both children and parent – in get qualified basic at kindergarten before entering the next one education level.
