The child, as the protagonist of the Constructivist Method, is at the centre of the learning process and is an active participant in a place where experiences and emotions can be expressed. Brainstorming is at the heart of all our activities in the workshops and is based on our relationships with others and the freedom to express one’s own ideas in the pursuit of learning.
The class is seen as a community of researchers, aware that group work is fundamental in the search for knowledge, allowing the child to learn in a ‘natural’ way.
This natural learning method starts from a scribble and ends up a letter, as characterised by the noted French pedagogue and education reformer, Freinet, who defined teaching as the art of questioning and accompanying pupils in the search for answers.
Educating in waiting, in research, in the initial need to ask questions, in the ability to arrive at discoveries that gradually evolve through a personal, individual and collective path.
Freinet’s teaching method concerns the ability to encourage children to cooperate and value their efforts. It also helps to develop all forms of intelligence, namely cognitive, political, abstract, creative, manual and artistic. The evaluation activity in the kindergarten responds to a formative function, which recognizes, accompanies, describes and documents growth processes, without classifying and judging a child's performance, because it is oriented to explore and encourage development of all their potential.
