Our Classes

In group "Pooh The Bear" learning process is performed based on the first part of program system of publisher "Bulvest 2000". It is called "A tiny fairy trail". Here we refer to subjects well-selected and formulated in the way to best keep the interest of little kids up to 3 years old (nursery school) in specific areas and objects from the reality which are close and simple to their daily experience. They are detailed and complex and the whole education content of all education aspects has been integrated in them. The kids are going to learn Bulgarian language through listening, observation, getting to know different objects in the surrounding world. There are few different methods to get and introduce the information depending on the child age:
- Display method to acquire important visual information - demonstration, observation and consideration.
- Verbal method to get and exchange important verbal information - usage of language: name objects, short stories, describe objects, explanation, conversation, telling and reading appropriate literature.
- Practical method - use child's own experience, rationalize it and transform it into another skill - investigation, participation in group occupation, object games, musical and movement games, circle games, songs, basic tests, experiment, design, art and technical projects, etc.
- Playing method
No matter which method is used, most important is a positive relationship between classmates and professional teacher's attitude to build a good vocabulary in students.
