At Avenor, education means more than acquiring information \u2013 it is about growth, discovery, autonomy, motivation, and the development of a curious and resilient mindset. That is why the Avenor Nursery\u2019s educational offer includes 10 trips each school year, along with numerous outings to the forest, around the neighbourhood, or to the park \u2013 all tailored to the children\u2019s age and linked to the learning objectives in the curriculum.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We leave the classroom as often as possible because learning has no walls, and the world is full of opportunities waiting to be explored. Trips and outdoor activities are like \u201csuper lessons\u201d \u2013 they develop critical thinking (\u201cWhy is the sky blue?\u201d), problem-solving (\u201cHow can we cross the river without getting wet?\u201d), and collaboration (\u201cLet\u2019s work together!\u201d).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We invite you to hear directly from<\/span><\/i> Cristina Farca\u0219 \u2013 Deputy Head of Nursery (Ca\u0219in)<\/i><\/b> \u2013 as she shares more about the philosophy behind these activities and their role in the learning process.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Every child sees the world in their own way \u2013 some explore through endless questions, others through play, or by touching and experimenting with everything around them. At Avenor, we want to give them the chance to learn in the way that suits them best. That\u2019s why we step out of the classroom as often as possible and take them to places where they can explore freely, where their curiosity comes to life, and where each child can engage directly with the real world. In these settings, learning becomes authentic, practical, and memorable, fostering both critical thinking and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey itself is an important part of the experience. The route to the destination is full of learning moments \u2013 children observe the world around them, ask questions about what they see through the window, chat with one another, and learn how to manage their emotions. Often, the joy comes not just from where we end up, but from the shared adventures along the way. These transitions support learning transfer and offer varied contexts in which children apply what they\u2019ve discovered in the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we visit a farm, it\u2019s not just about seeing animals \u2013 it\u2019s about interacting with them, feeding them, and listening to them. A curious child might ask how sheep recognise their lambs, another might need a bit of courage to touch a rabbit, while someone else may discover that they love caring for animals. Educators are always nearby, ready to make the most of each moment, nurturing each child\u2019s curiosity and motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In nature, children become explorers. Whether they are jumping over puddles, looking for animal tracks or learning about trees, every step is a discovery. If they find a footprint in the mud, it might spark a conversation about who came before them. If they hear a bird singing, they might ask, \u201cWhat is it saying?\u201d. The educator\u2019s role is to encourage this critical thinking and to guide the children as they search for answers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

History is easier to understand when it can be experienced. If we visit an old house, children do not just hear about the past \u2013 they live it for a few moments. \u201cBut where\u2019s the fridge?\u201d someone might ask. That simple question leads to a discussion about how food used to be stored. This way, children don\u2019t just collect information \u2013 they connect it to their own experiences, enhancing learning transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Play and experimentation are a natural way for children to grasp science. When they see how a mechanism works or build something with their own hands, they not only learn \u2013 they understand that it\u2019s okay to test things out, make mistakes and try again. Educators offer the space and confidence children need to explore fearlessly, cultivating resilience and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond discovering the world, these experiences strengthen the children themselves. They become braver, more confident in their abilities. Some might be scared to climb a hill or enter a dark barn. But with the support of their educators, they succeed. In those moments, they not only learn about the place they are visiting \u2013 but more importantly, about their own resilience \u2013 about how they can overcome challenges and how the whole world can become their classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning outside the classroom also offers something essential \u2013 genuine relationships. By working together on a challenge and helping one another, children learn to collaborate and support each other. Every experience helps them develop valuable social skills, while educators are there, observing each child\u2019s progress at their own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

All these moments enrich the educators\u2019 daily observations, providing a clear picture of each child\u2019s development. At Avenor, education means more than acquiring information \u2013 it is about growth, discovery, autonomy, motivation, and the development of a curious and resilient spirit. That\u2019s why we leave the classroom as often as we can. Because learning has no walls, and the world is full of opportunities waiting to be discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
