World Adventure Meadow i.c.w. SKRIEWER
How Cool is DA? How cool is Da!
The World Adventure Meadow is a place where children are at the helm themselves. In collaboration with Skriewer, a rich and inviting programme is developed, based on their vision: working with, for and by children.
Skriewer follows the Reggio Emilia vision in which children are seen as competent and creative individuals with a natural urge to discover.
Skriewer’s Vision:
Skriewer gives children:
TIME:
Children get the ‘playtime’ they deserve. In complete freedom. They schedule their own time and decide how long they play (with) something. There is time for rest and boredom.
SPACE:
Children are given the ‘playtime’ they need.
They are given the opportunity to arrange it themselves. The outdoor space is an important play area.
MATERIALS:
The children are given interesting ‘play materials’ that challenge them to play creatively.
Preference is given to natural materials. They are provided with various tools to manipulate these materials.
