Are you located somewhere in Pasig and currently looking looking for a child's preschool for your young ones?
Nurture Geist School in Brixton Street, Barangay Kapitolyo Pasig City publishes the school as a Waldorf-inspired pre-school. We've Googled the meaning of Waldorf schools and saw this:
Waldorf schools are non-sectarian and
non-denominational. They educate all children, regardless of their
cultural or religious backgrounds. The pedagogical method is
comprehensive, and, as part of its task, seeks to bring about
recognition and understanding of all the world cultures and religions. www.whywaldorfworks.org
Nurture Geist says these about their school:
"Nurture Geist School
fosters creative and critical thinking. Our goal is to enable children to think
on their own and to define their own purpose and path to contribute to society
in the future.
Everything in the school was
carefully chosen to enable the individual development of our students. Upon
entering our door, you will immediately see a rope ladder on the wall, you will
see a frame of rope obstacle and a wide space for running, crawling, rolling on
the floor and all the physical activities children enjoy.
The classrooms have blank
walls, tables and chairs, a shelf to keep the toys and a storytelling table.
The toys in the rooms are made from natural materials: wood, cloth, shells. No
plastic. Nothing that beeps, rings and shakes without effort from the children.
They play with the toys every day and every day they have new ideas on how to
play with them.
Snack time is a special time. Everyone enjoys
the same food. They practice how to be independent at mealtimes. We share fresh
fruits or boiled kamote, saba and corn, or bread, pastries or soup and veggies.
Nothing too starchy or too sweet.
We introduce concepts
through songs and movements, through stories, through crafts, baking, arts,
cooking and outdoor activities, and through first-hand experiences. Every week
we either go to the park, the zoo, garden, museum, watch a play, prepare a meal
for other children, visit a bakeshop or the fire station, learn to swim, plant
a tree and anything that children need to see to have a better understanding of
the things around them.
The best part of our day is
when we get a big hug from each student at the end of class. It is fulfilling
for us to teach without seemingly teaching, the children enjoy while they
explore and try, and we get to do it again the following day!"
With the photos of the active children, they seem to be having fun. Why not have some time visit the school and check if they will work perfect for your preschooler?
