Vision
Believed in, Loved, Thrive
Children’s hearts are stabilized when they are believed in, and loved by the beloved adults around them.
We believe that this stable foundation allows children to open their hearts and grow freely and confidently.
Six Key Features of MEL
1.Child-Centered
2.Multicultural
3.Real Materials
4.Food Appreciation
5.Self-Expression
6.Vertical Grouping
1.Child-Centered
Children are amazing just the way they are.
We create an environment where children can be themselves, encouraging them to think independently and pursue their interests. Teachers respect and support children’s choices, fostering their exploration and enjoyment through child-led play.
2.Multicultural
Understanding others
By familiarizing children with multiple languages and cultures from a young age,
and encouraging friendships regardless of nationality, we aim to reduce language barriers, discrimination, and prejudice.
3.Real Materials
Value how children perceive things
We provide children with real tools and materials, such as pans and bowls, rather
than plastic toys.
This approach stimulates their imagination and helps them learn about textures, materials, and weights through play.
4.Food Appreciation
Fostering a Respect for Food
Children are involved in deciding what to grow, researching how to, and starting
with soil preparation.
This hands-on experience helps them understand the effort involved in growing food and fosters a sense of respect for it.
5.Self-Expression
Encouraging Self-Acceptance
We value children’s preferences and
feelings of beauty, allowing them to choose what they like without imposing adult perspectives. Through free expression and validation, we nurture their self-esteem.
6.Vertical Grouping
Our mixed-age care (vertical grouping) helps older children develop a sense of responsibility and independence, while younger children learn the importance of cooperation and feel secure.

A Word from the Director
The period from the age of three is
crucial for the development of a child’s personality. That is why the environment
in which children spend their time is extremely significant. At our preschool,
we provide an environment where children feel believed in and loved, allowing them to express their individuality and thrive
with confidence.
