Activity descriptions:
Modelling – We mainly use coloured natural beeswax, but we also work with air-drying clay, salt dough, and similar materials.
Baking – We prepare dough with children and then we shape it into small loaves or a shared bread.
Musical-movement circle games – Involving rhytmical activities, songs poems, and Orff instruments.
Birthday celebrations – We offer joint celebrations with parents,, including a storytelling of the child’s birthday journey.
Art activities – We most often use watercolour with the "wet-on-wet" technique, as well as poster and finger paints. We encourage drawing with wax blocks,  and practising cutting and gluing.
Trips/Outings – We leave right after the morning circle. In good weather we snack outdoors and visit locations further away (forests and parks), encouraging walking and overcoming natural obstacles. We go to Wilsonuv Les, Jundrov, Komin, Kozi Hora in Zabovresky and Kravi Hora, and others. On other days we use the garden spaces in our courtyard or head out to local playgrounds and parks.

Adaptation:
Adaptation happens naturally according to each child's individual needs. A parent's presence is welcomed. We follow a gradual separation approach.
