Project Summary

C.A.R.E. ”Caretaking And Reproductive Education” shows that collaboration and exchange of good practices between pre-schools. It focused on key-competences specially sciences. Many of the behaviours which arised naturally during children’s play helped prepare children for the study of science at school.C.A.R.E. ”Caretaking And Reproductive Education” showed us how to encourage the six behaviours which were part of the preschool scientific method, and helped us support and encourage these:

• observing ;

• classifying ;

• experimenting ;

• predicting ;

• drawing conclusions ;

• communicating ideas.

Real science in preschool provides an overview of early science learning and includes ideas for science learning in different settings and areas of the care environment.Excellence in science education must begin in kindergarten.

Good science education at the earliest grades is supremely important, but in most classrooms it gets short shrift. Studies have found that children in kindergarten are already forming negative views about science that could cast a shadow across their entire educational careers.Studies have found that children in kindergarten are already forming negative views about science that could cast a shadow across their entire educational careers.When people say they don’t like science, it’s most likely because of a bad experience they had as a child. It was the EXPERIENCE that shaped their negative opinion. That’s why it’s so important to focus on working with early childhood educators to learn how to create amazing experiences that encourage discovery through play, asking questions, exploration and using creativity to solve simple problems. It’s almost impossible to erase bad experiences. On the flip side, amazing experiences turn into unforgettable learning experiences that can inspire and motivate children to learn and explore more on their own.

We as teachers had the opportunity to create amazing experiences that had a lasting impact on our students throughout their entire school experience. We were part of a 3 – country partnership, along with pre schools in Turkey, Poland and Slovakia. With C.A.R.E. ”Caretaking And Reproductive Education” the importance of the pre-school education was implemented in different countries and pre-school comparison of the education systems was also made.

The aim of this project was to compare the present systems of pre-school education in the participating European countries and improve the quality of the actual pre-school educational services.Visits to the partner’s countries allowed the participants to discuss the differences in the curriculums. During these visits each partner displayed their pre-school teaching methods. Theachers saEU Grant (Eur)
