Children SAFETY in Outdoor Kindergartens for the better learning results

Description

"Outdoor kindergartens Children engage in outdoor play every day. The boundaries and rules of child safety in the field must be consistent with the freedom to develop and physical security complemented by emotional and spiritual. When children are given more opportunities to explore security is also growing. Boundaries and rules, daily or weekly rhythm, emotionally stable adult, space wrong and freedom to experience, learn, support ideas are some of the components of child safety outside. It is in the outdoors, in the natural environment, that they learn to face the challenges and overcome them, to choose, to develop and to grow up by taking responsibility for the risk. Creating a safe environment for children must be a priority of every caregiver – a parent and an early childhood educator. A safe environment for a child is one that provides freedom from harm and offers a sense of security in which child can play, develop, and learn. As young children play and explore, minor injuries and accidents naturally occur. Since young children are at a stage where their physical, cognitive and emotional skills are still developing, injuries are bound to happen. These accidents can however be prevented. The first step towards providing for safety is to ensure that the preschool follows strict safety guidelines. Project objective - improve the quality of preschool education with sharing the best children safety methods and outdoor learning practice in the different cultures preschool environment.The project tasks:1) raise the competence of employees (teacher and administrative staff) through participation in international trainings about children safety;2) share the knowledge and best practise among other preschool partner countries (Germany and Slovenia) achieving to ensure the children safety outdoor.3) to strengthen children safety guidelines based on outdoor pedagogy and best examples of partners countries.The priorities of SCHOOL EDUCATION: Supporting efforts to increase access to affordable and high quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) and HORIZONTAL : Supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences meet the main project aim - improve the quality of preschool education with sharing the best children safety methods and outdoor learning practice in the different cultures preschool environment.
