Waldorf Kindergarten (RUS-5)
|
Brief description and main aims
The first Waldorf School was established in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany. Rudolf Steiner was not only the author of an idea and school head-teacher, but also the founder of a special pedagogical system, therapeutic pedagogy and medicine, and a whole spiritual school. The main idea of the Waldorf pedagogical system is that childhood is a unique period in a person’s life: it is impossible to consider this age in the same way as adulthood. It is very important to give children the opportunity to develop in a natural way, according to their age and abilities.
Today there are a lot of Waldorf Secondary Schools and Waldorf Kindergartens in Russia.There are around 150 children aged 2-6 years old in the Samara Waldorf Kindergartens now. All of them are brought up with love and care in a warm atmosphere of joy, music, songs, theatre, stories, and festivals.The services provided by volunteers contribute greatly to the creation of a loving atmosphere, which is so important for these children’s development.
To provide an educational program that meets the particularities of the children's ages and develops their mentality and skills according to their abilities. The methods are very diverse. The main forms are teaching through games and visual material.
