The Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten Program

Annamarie, our Fulbright host and the Director of the Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten program. In Hungary, children may attend kindergarten from ages 3-6 as part of the school system. This school houses 8 different classes of varying age Tlevels. The summer program was in session for a few more days before they went on break. We had to be very quiet as the students were settling done for their afternoon nap period just after lunch and a story. Little mattresses were laid out all over the floor as the students lay still, resting.

This is the entry area to the Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten. On the other side of the entry we saw pictures showing the students having a festive celebration of the 20th anniversary of their school.

Now who wouldn't want to go to the Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten program for ages 3-6. Each room has a character from the Winnie the Pooh stories, and this class has chosen 'Heffalumps'. The rooms were charmining with child-sized storage and furniture.




This darling mobile brightened up one of the classrooms. Loved it!

This little fox was made from two gloves. One for the body and the other was stitched together for head and tail. Behind me is the storage holder for the puppets along with the background for a puppet stage. What a lovely school, with animals to study in the hallways and classrooms, everything was child centered and made me want to teach there!!!
