The kindergarten “Sinchec” is a child educational facility for children from 3 to 7 year-old. According to the educational law of Bulgaria, kindergartens are the first step in the ladder of education.
The Kindergarten “Sinchec” has a nearly 40-year-old history. It was found with the sole purpose to become a more unusual place, where children would feel safe and loved, and would come every day with pleasure, learning something new. Years are passing by one by one, teachers and staff are changing, but everybody worked and is still working with great enthusiasm and love. At the moment there are 143 kids and 28 people who take care of them every day, 14 of them are pedagogical specialists with high qualifications.
Planning our participation in the realization of our joint project, we were not just counting on foreign experience, but also on the good practices that already existed in the Bulgarian schools and kindergartens. We’ve been successful in various projects in civic education aimed to adapt chipped children. We hope to use all that to make our project goals real and together to make our school or kindergarten a better place for our kids.
