“The reason why I have come to love working with children is fascination with their vast potential – creativity, brilliance, the ease with which they acquire knowledge and interest in the world. Therefore my aim during the activities is to select didactic means and methods in such a way that this potential might be discovered and exploited to the greatest extent possible. It is equally important for me to develop in the children awareness of their own possibilities and courage to use these possibilities in the process of learning about the world and building relationships with their peers, as well as develop their sensitivity with regard to literature, music, nature and other people”.

“Having a wonderful experience of working with children at school I wanted to broaden my knowledge and improve my skills of teaching young learners. I discovered that working with children is enormously inspiring. I enjoy creating teaching aids so that children can develop their perception, language and imagination. The most precious moments are when I can be happy about their success. My experience made me realize just how pleasurable teaching can be”.

Aleksandra Otręba
“From the day of birth people show interest in the world around them. The main goal of a teacher should be to maintain their interest, to encourage children to ask more questions and support them while they are looking for answers. Children are great explorers, their curiosity is unlimited and they are not afraid of experimenting. I belive that educational material should encourage children to take new challenges and learn from their own mistakes”.
