Medical Care
The medical care in Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini is entrusted to experienced medical experts – a nurse and a doctor in case of emergency. The nurse welcomes the children every morning and should she detect symptoms of illness, she takes the necessary measures and informs the parents and the preschool staff.
The teachers in the preschool have first aid training from the Bulgarian Red Cross.
Health & Safety
The building and the organisation of Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini are subject to strict regulations regarding safety and health. We are certified and have all the required permissions for operating a preschool.
In Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini we learn through activities that form the daily routine for each and every child; activities such as eating, sleeping, using the toilet, taking off clothes, dressing up and others. That’s why all of the appliances in the house are suited for a child’s use. Each object in the household (brushes, brooms, cloths, mops, buckets, etc.) has its own designated spot and at any moment the child can use it and then return it to the same place.
Food
We would like to inform parents who choose to rely on the food provided by Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini that the food is delivered by a licensed catering company, which is granted all of the required sanitary permissions.
The menu is balanced and meets the children’s specific needs. It consists of five meals a day and the children are not given ready-to-cook or ready-packed foods, as well as foods with high sodium level or that contain preservatives, dyes, white sugar, fats, chocolate, etc. We closely monitor the food intake of children with food allergies declared by the parents.
The children are encouraged to frequently drink liquids during the day. Every morning in our preschool the children make the bread themselves from high quality white and whole wheat flours, some of which the children grind in a grain grinder. The children are also encouraged to eat without assistance. At lunchtime they learn to set and clear the table themselves, after finishing the meal.
In Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini, ready-packed unhealthy foods are not allowed. In order to avoid the consumption of such foods by the children, parents should not allow their children to bring such treats and food inside of the setting. There is an exception to this rule only in case of celebration and only if the parents are present.
Rest & Sleep
In Montessori preschool Casa dei Bambini, the children are provided with nourishing afternoon rest and sleep. This to a great extent helps the children to be in good health and elevates their mood, so that they can take part in the afternoon activities and games. The children sleep and rest in special dorms on the second floor of the house.
The children are stimulated to perform all the activities concerning the afternoon break such as going to the toilet, taking off and folding clothes, combing and styling their hair and making their beds. They must be patient and wait for their turn. The children who are faster than the others are encouraged to help their friends in the dorms.
Speech Therapy & Psychological Support
Upon parents’ request children can attend speech therapy and psychological sessions every week, with the preschool working together with some of the best professionals in Sofia. The regular observations and diagnostics play a preventive role, and thus any potential issues are being addressed at an early age.
Upon parental agreement, and if additional and individual work with the child is required, the preschool offers additional speech therapy sessions, which take place in the setting two times a week.
