HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS
Starting kindergarten represents child`s first separation from their families which is highly
stressful for both child and parents. Parents are child`s emotional role model, child feels and
often copy their attitude towards kindergarten, so good cooperation of school and parents is
necessary in this stage. Happy School Days are set of different activities which connect
child, parents and kindergarten with an aim to encourage child`s positive feelings towards
kindergarten and at the same time to make adjustment to kindergarten easier. Kindergarten
is a place in which every child should feel safe, comfortable and motivated for learning and
we expect that those activities will help them in that. Happy School Days are good way to
start or to enrich teacher´s and parent´s cooperation in an informal atmosphere and to
enhance parent`s trust in the institution. Kindergartens from different partner`s countries
have completed Happy School Days activities in a different way allowing all participants of
the project good insight to a quality practice of others and giving good examples for
improving existing practice
