Pre-school Educational curriculum
In our pre-school we follow educational curriculum „Ku dziecku” that is in accordance with Polish Ministry of Education regulations.
The curriculum „Ku dziecku” was rewarded in a competition for the „Best Pre-school Program” organized by MEN (Ministry of Education). The main aim of this program is to support children in the development of their talents and shaping of intellectual skills necessary for coping with everyday life and further education. Teaching and upbringing within the framework of the core curriculum „Ku dziecku” gives the teachers the opportunity to plan their work with children based on children’s activity, individualization and diversification in all areas: intellectual, social, emotional and physical. It is also important in the program to provide better educational chances to children through supporting their curiosity, activity and independence and the skills and knowledge relevant to undertaking school education.

English curriculum „Teddy Bear English” The ability to communicate in a foreign language is one of the most important skills of a human being. In the learning and teaching environment it is important to create situations which will develop the needs for children to communicate in a safe and friendly atmosphere. The children in our pre-school start to speak English because it is the only language the teachers use while doing different types of activities. The necessity of discussing their feelings, expectations and needs as well as the willingness to participate in games and different types of tasks make our children accept English as a tool necessary to successfully communicate with others. This way creates a situation that is similar to bilingual homes where one member of the family is a native speaker of English. A self-designed English Program „Teddy Bear English” was prepared for our pre-school by specialists teachers . It consists of high-quality books and teaching aids as well as a system of constant development and monitoring of teaching quality. The head of the pre-school monitors a successful introduction and evaluation of this program. We use the method of „immersing”, when all the interaction in lessons and activities is done in English. The second rule of the program is using English to introduce children to the world at a level that is appropriate for each phase of child development. The English curriculum is closely related to Pre-school Educational program which enforces the language effects of children. |
To support the process of teaching English we use Interactive WhiteBoards and high quality interactive programs for children. The children have a chance to play with the interactive whiteboard themselves; it gives them a lot of joy and seems like magic for them.
Another way of supporting the development of the language is using the materials that are accissable in our English library (DVDs, English books, CD-rooms, CDs with songs, etc.)

Schemes of work – Music program „Active learning through art – in the world of music and dance” A self-designed program called „Active learning through art. – in the world of music and dance” is based on a notion that thanks to the sounds of music a child will develop intellectually, morally and socially. Music plays an important part in a general psycho-physical development of a child and it’s extremely significant for different types of skills and abilities, such as improving self-assessment and faith in your own talents. The authors are 2 teachers specialising in music and dance. The program consists of the following parts:
