The Norwegian law for kindergarten requires all kindergartens to make a framework plan that gives an overview of the kindergartens goals and working methods.
The kindergarten shall give children under school age proper development and activity possibilities in near understanding and cooperation with the children’s homes.
(Norwegian kindergarten law 1 goal).
Neo-Humanistic kindergarten is a private kindergarten with 20 children ages 1-6 years, and has a staff of two teachers and two assistants. The kindergarten is located in West Aker district and is recognized and approved by Norwegian law.
Based on the framework plan from March 1st, 2006 has Childs involvement has been sat on focus. The framework plan says: “Children have the right to express themselves and to have influence with all sides of their life in the kindergarten”. Children should feel that they have self-determination and can express their own intentions.
The children in the kindergarten have the right to give their opinion about the kindergarten daily activities. Children shall frequently have the possibility to actively participate and evaluate the kindergartens activities. The children’s point of view shall be considered according to their age and maturity.
In our Neo-humanistic kindergarten we interpret children’s involvement individually based on the child’s needs, interests, body language, sounds and mimic.
Observe the children so that:
- We get to know children individually and how they express themselves
- Be aware of the children’s signals and needs
- We allow children to decide and make their own choices. Eg. Stimulate and challenge children to be creative in collective games or dances where they can decide and lead each other.
