Duhovka International Montessori Preschool
Beyond nine hills and nine rivers, there lies the beautiful Land of Children. A land full of so many beautiful colors that the eyes can‘t take them all in - that‘s why it‘s called Rainbow Land (Duhovka). The children who live in this land come from all four corners of the Earth. They speak Czech, English, and they also use magic to communicate without words. It is a Land where most of us grown-ups would wish to live. A land where children are close friends. Together, using all of their senses, they eagerly discover and explore all the beautiful nooks and crannies of Rainbow Land, and entirely naturally and spontaneously share the joy they feel at their new experiences and discoveries. On their way to adventure, the children are accompanied by friends of Rainbow Land. Guides whose lives revolve around the children, who understand them and are themselves an inspiration and a model for the children. They guide the children through the Land‘s labyrinth to places where the secrets of nature beg to be discovered, the riches of the Earth wait to be unlocked, and with them the children unlock their own capabilities and gifts. The guides stimulate the children to develop their talents and skills, help them to learn from each other, and inspire them to explore the variable borders of Rainbow Land. There are no fi xed borders here; the borders simply happen. In the course of their explorations, the children gradually meet all the guides and friends and communicate together in a way that exceeds the range of any language‘s vocabular y. The emphasis on creative development of sense and esthetic perception of the world helps to develop communication skills and ensures that communication is never reduced to a mere stream of words. Through creative activities, we want to help children get to know the world around them and experience its colorful and varied essence - that is the world we want to give them and in which we, too, wish to live.
Yours, Tomáš Janeček and Ivana Janečková
