Resumo: (Kindergarten)
Võru Kindergarten is a small institution dedicated to providing childcare and foundational education for children aged 1.6 to 7 years. The kindergarten consists of five groups, including a nursery specifically for children between 1.6 and 3 years old. The other four groups are mixed-age, accommodating children from 2 to 7 years old. At Võru Kindergarten Okasroosike, we help and encourage children to embrace their unique personalities and discover their individual strengths. Every child is special, and we believe in nurturing their inherent value. Our environment fosters individual learning, development, and mutual support. The playful, fairy-tale-like setting inspires creativity and supports independent activities in a safe space.

Tarefas: At Kindergarten , teaching activities are thoughtfully planned by teachers with the best interests of the children in mind. Our approach emphasizes child-led play and free play, which are crucial for their development. Children are taught in subgroups to ensure personalized attention and engagement.
We incorporate child-initiative learning into our curriculum to keep children’s interests at the forefront. Teachers act as facilitators, supporting the learning process rather than dictating it. They use observation, discussion, and a deep understanding of each child to foster learning progress and develop individual skills and strengths. Cooperation between teacher and child is essential, focusing on support rather than control.
Learning activities are organized through long-term projects, covering subjects from the children’s immediate environment and surroundings. These projects often include research and art activities on diverse topics, ranging from polar bears to jam making. Our focus is on the learning process rather than the results.
Role of Volunteers: Volunteers at Kindergarten play a vital role in these learning activities. They collaborate with teachers and children to lead projects, contribute ideas, and support the entire project lifecycle. Volunteers switch groups after each project, providing fresh perspectives and continuous support across the kindergarten. Between projects, volunteers work closely with the music teacher.
Daily Routine:
- Outdoor Activities: Children spend time outside at least once a day. Sports lessons occur twice a week, with one session held outdoors if weather permits.
- Music Lessons: These are conducted twice a week.
- Quiet Time: After lunch, younger children nap while older children rest or engage in quiet play.
- Meals: The kindergarten provides three meals daily—breakfast, lunch, and a light afternoon meal. Children also receive a vegetable or fruit snack before going outdoors.
Volunteer Tasks:
- Assisting kindergarten staff with daily tasks involving children.
- Working within specific age groups or supporting various groups based on personal interests and abilities.
- Always working under the supervision and guidance of group teachers.
- Helping teachers, participating in games or lessons with the children, and preparing materials for activities.
- Introducing songs, games, and cultural aspects from their own backgrounds.
- Preparing for and participating in festivals or special days (e.g., Christmas, Easter, Independence Day).
- Organizing exhibitions about their country or other European countries.
Intercultural Learning: Volunteers are encouraged to contribute to the kindergarten’s intercultural learning environment. This includes preparing festivals, teaching songs and dances, and sharing interesting aspects of their own culture. Volunteers’ contributions enrich the kindergarten experience for both children and staff.
