By implementing the project, we wanted to have a positive impact on children, their travel habits and, consequently, on parents and the wider environment. Since the project was focused on movement in nature, it also had a positive impact on children with special needs: they relaxed there, nature had a positive effect on all areas of child development. We wanted the children to develop a concern for nature. In cooperation with the municipality and the district community, we wanted to analyze and turn the road to the kindergarten into a safe and accessible path to kindergarten, contribute to a better quality of teaching, educate sustainably oriented individuals and actively involved citizens, both locally and globally. We wanted to raise awareness of all involved and encourage them to lead an active lifestyle.
For many years our kindergarten has been involved in projects related to the movement of children, a healthy lifestyle and the preservation of the environment. After observing and analyzing the current situation of children and parents, and of course ourselves, we noticed that today we are all in a hurry and that it is easiest to drive cars. There is more and more traffic, as well as environmental pollution, children do not move enough, which has a bad effect on their psychophysical well-being, and at the same time weakens their motor skills and inhibits or slows down their overall development. We are aware of the importance of movement for children, and we are also aware of the positive effects of the use of sustainable means of transport on the environment. That is why we wanted to encourage them to lead an even more active lifestyle, to teach them about the importance of using environmentally friendly means of transport, because children carry the habits they acquire in the preschool period with them into life, into adulthood. We also thought about children with special needs, especially about the positive impact of movement and being in nature on them. We addressed the needs of all for movement and sustainable development.
