Multisensory garden in Karin Dom
The Montessori team of Karin Dom Foundation accepted the challenge to further develop and create an educational space that is filled with many incentives that help gain sensory experience and support the process of sensory integration. Initially, the idea that united the team was to create a “Delicious Educational Garden” with different plants, which would be a place for learning through experience. A place where children can learn to grow organic food – fruit, vegetables, spices and herbs. A place for development of children’s imagination, that will help them be in good physical condition and health, and to become a “Natural Classroom” where children can easily learn and consolidate knowledge and skills in botany, mathematics, language and speech, biology, physics and chemistry.
Subsequently, the activity in the educational garden gained more dimensions, as additional facilities for children were installed. Thus, the delicious educational garden has become a multi-sensory garden, namely a place where children by playing, having fun and learning get a real opportunity to develop all their senses. Here they will receive all the incentives for this. In creating the multisensory garden, the team is guided by the principles and practice of classical Montessori pedagogy and draws on its experience in this field. In the Montessori system of education and upbringing, one of the main emphases is the communication of children with nature and their connection with it. According to Maria Montessori, the child must be able to encounter nature. Thus, children are able to learn to understand and appreciate nature’s order, harmony and beauty.
