At the start of the 2024/25 school year, we will open our new preschool group, in which the 5 to 6-year-old children who will start school as first graders at BMS next summer will get to know each other and master the transition from kindergarten to school together. Our school is conceptually based on Montessori education and we align our work with the children and young people according to Maria Montessori's guidelines. Our new pre-school group, called the “Sternengruppe”, should and will also follow these guidelines.
Our didactic goals and their implementation in the preschool group:
- Creating a prepared environment that encourages the children to learn, explore and discover
- Variety of Montessori materials from the areas of language, mathematics, biology, geography and sensorimotor skills
- “Free choice of work” - the children are guided by the teacher, but also have the right to work independently, guided by their interests and individually according to their level and pace of learning
Learning in our preschool should above all be fun and varied for the children. Through their natural curiosity, they will expand their abilities and skills every day. The teacher's main tasks in the preschool group will be to
- stimulate the children's self-learning process
- take into account the interests of the group and the individual
- strengthen the skills of the individual children
- treat the children with respect
- accompanying and observing the children as they learn
- “The child should not adapt to the environment. Rather, we should adapt the environment to the child.”
