Children choose for themselves what to play with, for how long and in what way. Free, self-directed play builds intrinsic motivation, concentration and self-confidence.

A carefully prepared play environment with pared-back design, quality materials and clear structures gives children orientation, security and room to learn independently. 

Children develop through relationships. Not through constant entertainment, but through real experiences, observing, being accompanied and connection.

In mixed age groups, younger children learn from older ones, while the older ones take on responsibility, naturally and at their own pace.
