Secure
A permanent
team with committed employees
We have a close-knit, committed and loyal team that we are very proud of. The Stoerwoud pedagogical staff are basically in fixed groups. But we all work together, help each other and are always in contact. So our pedagogical staff know all the children and vice versa. In this way, our staff provide a stable basis in their own group, but can also help out in other groups if necessary.
Besides the permanent staff in the groups, we also work with a music teacher, exercise therapist and have an internal pedagogical coach.
the future
Teaching company
Besides room for the children’s development, the Stoerwoud also pays a lot of attention to the development of our current and future pedagogical staff. We always have trainees in our team; we like to offer them the opportunity to learn in practice. In addition, training trainees also keeps our own staff members on their toes. Pedagogy is always evolving. Therefore, at the Stoerwoud, we believe that we should be too. We continue to develop our pedagogical knowledge through child-oriented training courses, in-depth courses and workshops.
the environment
Sustainability
At the Stoerwoud, we find it important to make sustainability a natural part of our actions. We make conscious choices and set an example for the children. For instance, we separate our waste, watch out for waste, buy sustainable products wherever possible and are energy-conscious. Activities with children are also based on sustainable thinking. We recycle materials as much as possible and exercise activities are a big part of our programme. With our activities, commitment and knowledge, we connect children with nature. This is how we build a healthy future for future generations.
Pedagogical
policy
We believe it is important to teach children to have fun, set boundaries, have self-confidence but also to listen to others and feel compassion for others. We have a positive outlook on life.
We base our pedagogical actions on six interaction skills:
-
Sensitive responsiveness
We pay attention to children’s signals and what concerns them. We do this, for example, by sitting on the floor (eye level) with the children and regularly asking them for their opinions. We also maintain warm contact with parents to form as complete a picture as possible.
-
Respect for the child's autonomy
We offer all children space to be themselves. Thus, a child is allowed to have its own (autonomous) emotions. We naturally strive for happy and joyful children, but feel that they are also allowed to be angry or sad.
-
Structure and boundaries
We offer structure and continuity. For example, we have a fixed daily rhythm and permanent staff. We name rules and agreements in the group and explain why we have them. We convey important values and norms to the children by setting a good example.
-
Talking and explaining
We continuously use situations to engage in conversation with the children. We explain what we do and why. We name what the children see and do. We regularly read to the children interactively.
-
Development stimulation
We stimulate development in different ways. For example, we ask out loud how something works, or why something goes a certain way. We also encourage the children to do things themselves whenever possible.
-
Supervising (positive) interactions between children
We ensure that children feel safe and secure with each other. We notice interactions between children and respond positively to (spontaneous) contact between them.
