Márkói Német Nemzetiségi Óvoda

Our organisation educates children from ages 3 to 7 in 5 groups, with over 100 children attending the kindergarten. Our village, Márko has a strong Swabian influence due to the rich culture community here which is also seen in our kindergarten. We place great importance on developing children’s character, working together closely with their families and to prepare them for their next steps of their education, primary school. Our provision prepares children’s emotional, social, communication, both fine and gross motor and art skills using a wide range of methods, through exploring, experiences, playing and learning. We believe that every individual is unique. In our kindergarten we approach learning through a growth mindset to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to be the best they can be. We encourage growing confidence, through valuing each child's personal best in their own pace. A child’s thirst of experiencing and learning new things is essential. Our kids often attend mutiple cultural programs in our community and around the country. We encourage them to respect and look after nature, our environment, all of the creatures by visiting local farms, gardens, parks and zoo’s. We own an "animal friendly kindergarten" title. The 5 groups of children take part in the activities, singing and playing in both Hungarian and German on a daily basis. We celebrate the tradition’s German culture, by hosting festivals as our priority.
