Many kindergartens allow children to choose the activities they want to engage in, such as drawing, building, creating crafts, looking at books or playing with toys. The opportunity to learn through play is more efficiently seized by the little ones when they get to select what they want to do. 

Most kindergartens have a generous outdoor space where children can enjoy different experiences like observing and learning about the natural environment and its “habitants”, whether it is caterpillars, butterflies or earthworms.

Children are taught the importance of a clean environment and how to treat nature gently. Sorting rubbish and feeding the birds in the yard are other examples of what kindergartens teach children who will grow into responsible adults. Some kindergartens grow pets like rabbits to the delight of the little ones who get to pet their fluffy fur. 

Meeting people with interesting jobs is on the list of many kindergartens. They invite firefighters, doctors or police officers to speak to children about why they like their jobs and how these jobs help the community. 

Some kindergartens organise once or more times a year family events. Whether it’s costume-themed or a tea party, a family picnic or a disco afternoon, these events involve parents who act as organisers and have the opportunity to meet other parents.

Trips outside the kindergarten are highly appreciated, as the little ones are delighted to go to the theatre or the zoo with their colleagues and teachers.
