International Nursery
Grzegórzecka 76 B
The Nursery opens at 07:00. When a child arrives we welcome her/him together with her/ his parent. Parents can leave the child to be undressed by a Teacher or can do it themselves with the teacher’s assistance. The shoes are changed for Nursery’s shoes, coats hanged on the hangers. Children say good-bye to their parents and proceed to the bathroom to wash their hands.
After having their hands washed they go to the Play Room to play freely in the teacher’s assistance.
At 08:30 children move to Reggio - room to take their seats for breakfast. One by one they leave to the bathroom to have their hands washed and to have their bibs put on. Then they go back to the Reggio-Room. Breakfast is served between 08:30-09:30.
After having eaten their breakfast each child goes to the bathroom to have their after-breakfast hygiene done. That includes: using the children’s toilet and if necessary having their diaper changed. This is done after each use of the potty. After wards, children also have their faces and hands washed and dried with paper towels, later they brush their teeth or have their teeth brushed. We want our children to gain self- independence so our child-minders teach all the hygiene routines.
At 09:45 we start “circle time” – children are divided into 2 rooms and they sit into circles. We sing a “Good-morning” song welcoming each child with a toy. The song is sung in English.
10:00 – 11:00 is the activity time at our Nursery. Our preschool teachers organize art activities, music and dancing activities, gymnastics, English lessons and reading activity are held by an English Teacher. During given days of the month children have activities with specialists like: speech therapist, musician, rehabilitation specialist, ceramics specialist.
If the weather is suitable to walk and play outside children are taken outside. They are taken out in rounds so that one child-minder has only two children at care, in order to hold their hands and secure their safeness. Smaller children are taken out in their strollers brought by the parents. If a minder takes a child in a stroller she only takes one child to walk holding hands with her.
If parents have left a cream (sun protector or cream for winter) our staff will make sure it is applied before leaving the Nursery.
All the children move to Reggio room and sit by the table or in high chairs. One by one, they are brought to the bathroom to have their hands washed and dried and their bibs to be put on. Our Nursery provides bibs for the children; they are rinsed after every meal washed in the washing machine every week.
The quantity of soup served is 300 ml. If the soup contains bigger pieces of vegetables (for instance potatoes) they are smashed before serving.
The Nursery’s stuff helps older children who are able to eat themselves to finish their soup. They also feed the children who do not eat alone.
The hygiene includes: washing hands, face and brushing teeth. Using the toilet, changing the diapers. If necessary creaming the face and hands. The children whose clothes got wet during eating will have them changed. The wet dirty clothes are packed into a plastic bag, which is closed and signed with the child’s name and put on their shelf to be given to the parents when leaving the Nursery.
The room where children sleep is darkened with blinds. We ask parents to bring a pillow; blanket and a sheet plus all the necessary equipment that their child needs to fall asleep and have a good rest (for instance a dummy, a favorite teddy bear, a swaddling cloth etc). The beds are arranged always in the same location for each child, so they can feel safe and comfortable during rest time. Children sleep on certified Nursery beds (low with plastic round edges for their safeness). Our child-minders help children to fall asleep by caressing their hair or hands. In the Room children can hear lullabies that help them relax before sleeping. After children have fallen to sleep, a child-minder guards them for safe sleep in the room. The sheets are given every 2-3 weeks for the parents to have it washed at home. During awaking time each child goes to the bathroom to use the toilet.
Before eating their lunch children have their hands washed and their bibs put on. Each child gets their lunch just after waking up (and after the awaking toilet and hygiene).
After the lunch each child goes to the bathroom to have their teeth brushed and face and hands washed. Children that do not use the diaper are sited on the toilet.
After the snack they have their hands and faces washed and diapers changed, children that are off the diaper would be sited on the toilet.
Children play in groups with teachers’ assistance or guided by the teachers (singing favorite songs, dancing etc).
