Why an outdoor kindergarten?

 

The growing up conditions for children has altered, especially considering the last 10–15 years. As a result of this, the possibilities of motion and perception for children have diminished. These two vital factors create the foundation for an overall sense of reality and capability to receive and comprehend new knowledge. The entering of video, computers and computer – games into children’s everyday life, has led to a more one-sided visual and audile stimulation basis, to generate imagination and a rich vocabulary.

 

The traffic volume has also expanded which has affected children’s possibilities to come across playground areas.

The children’s skills shrink when these possibilities decrease. Where are all the paths we once walked?

 

We must restore the feeling of freedom for our children. Freedom with responsibilities – situations to master.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outdoor life is important for the children’s development

 

 

 

 

Through nature, children are able to gain essential knowledge. With all their senses they may experience the unexpected,
the unverifiable, the surprising, the diversity, the change, the wet, the cold, the funny, the unpleasant, the scary,
the dangerous, and the thrilling. Everything the new safety directions are devoid of.

 

All these experiences are important and essential knowledge on the way to become a competent grown up.
Outdoor life and activities gives the reward of:

 

  • less noise

  • less stress

  • improved motor-skills

  • improved concentration

  • stimulation of creativity

  • fewer conflicts

  • knowledge to recognise one’s boundaries
