Nothing better than putting on a face!
Working philosophy for the pedagogical team
To have a general impression of our working method, at La Rueda we believe in solidarity, brotherhood and creativity. We highlight Dalai Lama´s words, when he assured that affection and love mark our lives. We cannot agree more, and therefore we need people who are willing to give, share and support.
The pedagogues in our kindergartens are usually fluent in Spanish and German, since it is a great advantage when communicating with children. Understanding more than one language is important, although not mandatory. In any case, we try to form a varied team and there is always room for learning.
Most of our kindergroups are vegetarians, and the food is all organic. What is this about? At La Rueda we believe in sustainability and care for the environment , as well as healthy eating. Being a vegetarian is not a requirement, but this and other details conform our identity.
To understand our way of thinking a little better, consult our concept and development , as well as the informative posts referring to the * Montessori Method and * Reggio Pedagogy .
An important mention to the documentation and monitoring tasks, since the work of the pedagogues is not limited to the time inside the kindergarten. It is vitally important to complement portfolios, document activities and reflect on them. We will emphasize this later.

Documentation and monitoring tasks
In La Rueda, the groups have 14 boys and girls. In a small group like this, it is possible to have personal contact and follow the evolution of each child. In fact, we consider it a very important part of the job as a pedagogue in our gardens. These tasks are mainly 4:
-
The children's folders (Portfolio): we work with folders of documentation of child development and we have our own model, created and developed by ourselves according to our line of interests in pedagogical work with children. We have also developed our own table of observations, in German and Spanish, work that is linked to the preparation of talks with parents on child development (Entwicklungsgespräche). We do it once a year, based on the chronology of your birthday.
-
The pedagogical activities: the activities must be recorded in a file, following the model.
-
Reflection: it is important that the activities are accompanied by a personal reflection on the experience of its implementation with children.
-
Projects: We work on projects throughout the year, which facilitates joint (team) pedagogical work and documentation.
