Main activities of the organization
Dora Gabe Kindergarten was founded in 1979. Our kindergarten has a highly qualified pedagogical team that takes care of the education and socialization of children. It consists of a total of 24 team members.
The staff’s efforts are aimed at:
• to provide conditions for the child to grow as an independent and confident person;
• to acquire communication skills and have a good command of his native language;
• developing basic scientific knowledge as a basis for inclusive education;
• to create a place where the child feels happy, protected, understood and supported.
Our team creates an environment for children where their mental, emotional, social, personal, health and physical development is guaranteed. It is a hub for parents looking for and finding support, consent, collaboration and pedagogical information. DG “Dora Gabe” is a place where people who love their children and their professions, maintain their qualifications at a modern level, strive for high professional realization and are satisfied with their work.
Activities of the organization on the subject
Our organization is a partner of the Erasmus+ project, KA210 in the field of gender inclusion and equality.
For some time we have been organizing various activities promoting a healthy lifestyle: workshops with doctors, workshops with local chefs, meeting with local athletes, workshops with psychologists.
After the healthy eating workshop, we let our children “compose” and prepare part of their menu. We also prepare many arts activities and produce materials related to a healthy lifestyle. Every day, teachers spend as much time outdoors as possible, trying to encourage children to play together using different games.
After seminars with doctors, teachers pay special attention to their children’s postures, etc., reminding them of proper body position, hygiene and appropriate clothing.
Profile of the age groups of children
There are 173 children in our kindergarten, divided into 6 groups according to their age from 2 to 7 years. Selection by gender, ethnicity, religion and social affiliation or by other distinguishing features is not allowed. The Convention on the Rights of the Child and the law
