Approach

A child learns with the hands first, then with the head.

Children's hands choosing a ball of coloured wool from a basket

Four foundations

  • Rhythm

    Day, week and year turn in the same order; the child knows what comes next.

  • Imitation

    The teacher does not explain, she works. The child watches and joins in.

  • Natural materials

    Wool, wood, silk, beeswax. No plastic or battery toys.

  • Screen-free

    There are no screens at school; the teacher tells the story.

I wanted a place that does not hurry children. Here every task has its day and every day has its order.
