The nature of childhood experiences determines an adult\u2019s character and personality.<\/p><p>The approach to education is child-centred and is based on mutual respect and cooperation. Children are provided with an ordered and secure environment where they are free to explore and discover. An environment constructed specifically to meet the child\u2019s needs at different stages of development recognises children\u2019s natural love of learning and the importance of learning at their own pace.<\/p><p>Education must not be seen merely as teaching (the passing on of facts) or transferring of a culture. Rather it aids the development of the whole personality and involves parents as well as educators. Montessori education fosters the development of people who value themselves and who feel in control of their lives. Only then can they direct their energies to a wider community and work to build a better world for themselves and others.<\/p><p>This approach is based on following the child \u2013 recognising the needs and characteristics of children of each age group and constructing the corresponding environment that best meets these needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-604e426 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"604e426\"

It is also important to ensure that children of different ages are grouped together, as the younger children are then triggered by their intrinsic drive to observe and copy the actions of the older children. This helps them develop their skills much faster. <\/span><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"gmail_default\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Montessori method of education has many teaching materials and techniques specially developed for children three years old and up. Another important shift in the child\u2019s view of the world is their growing understanding of and participation in social interactions with the people around them. Key to this is the child\u2019s conscious separation of himself and the \u201cother\u201d: different people with different desires and motivations. <\/span><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"gmail_default\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning to communicate with them through language becomes increasingly more vital, and as such receives extra attention.

This offers a wonderful opportunity for their education. The primary goal at this point is not to overload the children with more and more knowledge, but to offer them a stimulating and structured environment, where they are able to develop in a way that suits them best. <\/span><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"gmail_default\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casa is one of the pioneering schools in the Netherlands that offer these educational opportunities to three year old children.

In the morning, the children in the class prepare a healthy snack together. We have a special snack table where children can snack together or alone. Every afternoon the children eat a freshly prepared healthy lunch. For the younger children cooking is done for them and in the Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary the children cook for their own group under the supervision of a cook. We believe that by allowing children to come into contact with healthy food early on and by teaching them where food comes from, they discover the value of healthy eating. In addition, children develop their motor, social, reading and math skills during preparation.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"body\">For more detailed information about our approach to nutrition and food education, please refer to the accompanying nutrition policy linked below.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f13ccac elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f13ccac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1VGVnDDnGgB8kcUetgSF4i4qQNnptmmAE\/view?usp=drive_link\" download=\"food_policy_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-download\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">FOOD POLICY 2024<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf2c488 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cf2c488\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-356bc5a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"356bc5a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c700dd5 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"c700dd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d172021 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d172021\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Food\/Weekly Menu<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e66492e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e66492e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gmail_default\"><div class=\"vce-row-container\"><div id=\"el-11b6dbc7\" class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-columns--top vce-row-content--top\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-11b6dbc7\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div id=\"el-22134bfc\" class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-50p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" data-vce-do-apply=\"background border el-22134bfc\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding margin el-22134bfc\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div id=\"el-f65a2e02\" class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-f65a2e02\"><div class=\"body\"><p>Casa offers a changing weekly menu with a fixed number of elements.
