NEMO’s Top 10 – Music diversity
Monday, 02 May 2011 02:00

1. Languages through music - One of our priorities is to develop children’s linguistic competences through a multilingual and multicultural environment.

 

2. Education through music - In PKG “NEMO” music is not simply studied but it accompanies the whole education process.

 

3. Creativity through music - Here children are master artists and exploring inventors. The nice atmosphere in the kindergarten encourages the children to express themselves through drawings, music and theater.

 

4. Music from nature - Our garden oasis is on the heart of Vitosha Mountain. Neither street noise, nor harmful gases from cars disturb us in the internal yard.

 

5. Sports and music - games throughout the year and outdoor toughen-up procedures. There is no "bad weather" for us; there is "inadequate clothing".

 

6. Dances to music. - It is “Roberta” Ballet and Nasko, the swim instructor from SPA Centre “St. Sofia”, that take care of the well-built and graceful bodies of the children from PKG “NEMO”.

 

7. Eating and music - "A five-minute concert at noon" accompanies the healthy and well-balanced food with a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.

 

8. Relaxation with music - After an active morning the children get ready for a recreational afternoon nap with soothing and relaxing music.

 

9. The music hall- A state-of-the-art hall of arts where all children’s musical instruments are available for everyone and music is mainly “live”

 

10. Music teachers - Your children will be surrounded by highly qualified, nice and friendly pedagogues who understand music, pay attention to its power and have the capacity to teach the children not simply to hear, but to listen. We aim at arousing the joy that music brings in the children rather than working only with music talents. The reason lies in various studies that prove that children in contact with music develop cognitively better. They are better at logical thinking, they achieve higher mental efficiency and they demonstrate more harmonious social behaviour. Those children have a higher tolerance threshold and are likely to integrate in various social groups with greater ease. If we fail to make full use of this stage as an extremely sensitive age, then it will be very difficult to make up for it later.
 

A Day at NEMO

 

8:00 - 8:30 Good morning with a smile.

 

8:30 - 8:45 Latin gymnastics for tonicity and high spirits throughout the day (video)

 

8:45 - 9:15 M-m-m, yummy...Time for breakfast.

 

9:00 - 9:30 "NEMO’s boat" – Children of different ages spend some time together discussing topics relevant to all of them, communicate freely, help each other, learn to respect and tolerate other.

 

9:30 - 11:00 Learning through playing – each in their own group – for some more, for other less. Don’t forget the fruit and vegetable breakfast at 10:30. (video)

 

11:00 - 12:30 "NEMO’s boat" is outside – on the playground, on the veranda or in the yard. (video)

 

11:30 - 13:00 We are hungry! ... We’ve eaten everything again. (video)

 

13:00 - 15:30 Sweet afternoon nap, ... Well, for some it’s too short but still it’s a rest. (video)

 

15:30 - 16:00 Back at the table – what’s the delicious surprise today?!

 

16:00 - 18:30 "NEMO’s boat" is getting deserted but in the meantime there’s more to come: organized games, foreign language exercises, songs, dances, puzzles, mosaics, builders, outdoor games and what not...

 

18:30 Silence! "NEMO’s boat" is casting anchor and is getting ready for the next day!
Do you have any suggestions as to how to improve our website?

In today’s globalized world private kindergarten “NEMO” welcomes children of all nationalities and cultures. The children integrate themselves in the groups very quickly thanks to their communication with our teachers and staff which is full of love. In a family-like atmosphere the parents are invited to introduce their child and the country they come from. Thus children get acquainted with rites and traditions of other peoples; they learn to respect and tolerate the otherness and the different. At PKG “NEMO” we do our best to make sure that children of different nationalities feel good and make friends. For the German and English speaking children there is a foreign language teacher throughout day who takes care of their wills.

Our private kindergarten offers full-day education in groups of 10 to 15 children according to age for the age groups 2 to 6. We bring up and educate children with a lot of music. We offer music not as a separate discipline once or twice a week; rather music is part of our everyday life, a means for communication which broadens the children’s horizon. They learn to speak through singing, they learn to count through lyrics, they develop their motor skills dancing and jumping, and after the song about the hedgehog, for example, they talk about what it looks like, what it eats… Thus music helps them comprehend the world.

In our wonderful house children feel at home. They have three floors at their disposal. In addition to the rooms for the groups, we also have a sports hall, a music and a theater hall, a study hall, a children’s library, many indoor and outdoor playing facilities. Here the children are master artists as well as inventors and explorers. The wonderful atmosphere in the kindergarten encourages them to artistically express themselves through drawings, music and theater. The small groups allow us to have an individual approach to every child which means that he or she has enough time to accumulate knowledge and experience. In the inside yard the children are allowed to happily romp about undisturbed by traffic noise. The children observe the changes of the seasons in bewilderment; they find out the miracle in nature and are curious to identify the links between them.
