OUR TRUTHS
At Paichnidagogeio we believe that:
- Play is the way children discover themselves, the people around them, and the world that surrounds them.
- School must embrace every side of the child.
- Every child is unique and develops at their own pace.
- Parents are important and active members of the school community.
- In a stimulus-rich environment designed around children’s needs and autonomy, children discover their best selves.
- Children learn through interaction, exploration, experimentation, and participation in a learning community.
- Regular, meaningful contact with nature ensures a happy and healthy childhood and a balanced adult life.
- Relationships built on trust, safety, respect, and equality are decisive factors in development and learning.
- School must implement processes that promote democracy and justice, shaping School must implement processes that promote democracy and justice, shaping
- Recognising, accepting, and correcting mistakes teaches us more than being right.
- The most important school achievement is having the awareness and flexibility to notice the obstacles in your path, to manage them, and to overcome them.
