In this episode of the Montessori podcast, we chat with Andrea Vodsloňová, a guide for children aged 3-6 years old. The topic of independence, adaptation in kindergarten and preparation of the home environment are crucial not only for parents but also for educators. How to prepare children to enter kindergarten? What can they do if we trust them and prepare a suitable environment? Andrea shares her experiences, her favourite Montessori tools and moments when learning was a challenge. You’ll also learn why a kindergarten teacher needs a chair, the difference between observing and watching, and what a teacher can do in her spare time – sewing, skiing, or raising chickens. This inspiring talk is for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of child development and believes that children can do it.
