Movement

Especially for children of pre-school age, movement is indispensable for their physical and mental development, and increases their efficiency and ability to concentrate. Meeting their natural desires to move with regular physical activity satisfies their inherent eagerness to learn by doing.

Therefore, we take this into consideration and create a special environment. Through our daily movement education in the Kinderwelt Kuessnacht and the various activities, a healthy development of the children is ensured. The children get sport education each week, in which they can improve their motor development.

 

A swimming activity is provided once a month. The result isn`t necessarily shown in swimming technique; rather, our goal is to help children conquer fears and gain confidence, helping them get acclimated to the water and ready for more structured swimming lessons. We do this by offering safe, fun play activities in the water.

 

Regular time spent in nature is also part of our concept. On these days (which take place, for example, in the forest or on a farm), the children can be occupied with nature to engage their sense of wonder at the natural world, and thereby increase their understanding and capabilities.

 

On nature days, the goals are:

  • Developing the senses and the motor skills.
  • Getting to know the rhythm of the seasons and nature.
  • Developing imagination and creativity regarding natural materials.
  • Building values and an appreciation for nature and all living beings.
