When will

I work in a "children 3-6 years" old
institusion in Copenhagen.
We meet up every day in central Copenhagen and
go by bus into the countryside to a farm.
We are close to nature and big spaces and therefore
inspired by that.
Lots of fresh air, lots of nature, lots of
SPACE!
One of my main teaching issues is:"Selfdetermination":
The children learn to take resposibility for
their actions and choises.
Verbalize their wishes and needs.And socialize
with the world around them.
That means that my job takes as it´s basis
in the wishes and needs of the individual child,
-within the limits the teacher(me) has or creates.
Instead of being the teacher with all the timetables
and prearrangings,
we try to "read",listen to, guide ,support and
advise the child!
We try to help the child to build and develope
it´s own personality based upon itself.
This is a way of teaching which is very demanding
in terms of the teachers scills,
personalities and education -there are no premade
results,-no specific keys.
It´s very important that children allready
in a young age understand,respect,
enjoy nature, and that man and beast are
all parts of this world.
This by bringing nature and children together
and nothing as good as:
LEARNING BY DOING !
