Prepared Environment
The foundation for all learning processes is a didactically prepared, appealing, and relaxed learning environment that enables the child, out of their own motivation and in keeping with their inner developmental plan, to actively acquire various learning content. Children are offered a wide variety of materials through presentations, designed to support the development of an understanding of the world in the broadest sense and to foster the learning of cultural techniques and forms of practical life skills across all sensory levels.
Another essential part of the prepared environment is the educator. He or she supports and accompanies the children in their development, offers activities that match the child's developmental plan and motivation, gives help where it is wanted, and stays in the background when children have no need of him or her.
