OUR LEARNING WORKSHOP

Little questions.
Big discoveries.

Wonder. Ask. Try. Discover. A place where children follow their curiosity and find their own way to learn.

LEARNING THROUGH DISCOVERY

Not shown how.
Found out for yourself.

Our learning workshop offers materials for learning both within and beyond traditional school subjects. Children learn through their own motivation and experience, rather than following a prescribed answer.

Educators observe and accompany the learning process without giving instructions, suggesting solutions or evaluating the children's work. Every child learns differently. Every exploration of the materials has its place.

01 / Everyday learning

I can do it myself.

A button, a buckle, a bow: in the yellow area, small everyday challenges become big discoveries. Children explore how things work at their own pace.

  • Weaving on a loom
  • Fastening buttons and buckles
  • Opening and closing zips
  • Tying bows

02 / Language & literacy

From letters to stories.

Discovering letters, stamping them and connecting them to pictures: the red area brings language to life. Pencils and templates invite children to practise holding a pencil through play.

  • Using letter stamps
  • Matching letters and pictures on the letter machine
  • Working with pencils and templates

03 / Scientific discovery

Why does that happen?

Shaping, filling, observing: in the green area, children explore materials and their surroundings. How does the water level change in a different container? What can a magnifying glass reveal?

  • Shaping and modelling kinetic sand
  • Filling different containers with water and comparing levels
  • Exploring with magnifying glasses
  • Experimenting with a hairdryer and a tennis ball

04 / Mathematical learning

A world full of numbers.

What does a number look like? Which shapes fit together? In the blue area, children gain their first mathematical experiences through hands-on play and exploration.

  • Using number stamps
  • Completing a number puzzle
  • Discovering geometric shapes
