Projeto de pré-escola com foco no desenvolvimento infantil baseado na pedagogia Waldorf

Abstract

Based on the Waldorf pedagogical approach, envisioned by Rudolf Steiner, the project for a preschool is conceived, targeting the early development of children during their first seven years of life. This project will emphasize the overall growth of the child, encompassing not only the educational aspect but also the emotional and social domains. To achieve this, the present work seeks to present knowledge and justifications to underpin the subsequent architectural project. The intention is to design a physical structure for the preschool, providing a welcoming and enriching environment that stimulates the creative expression and imagination of children. Another noteworthy aspect is the harmonious integration with nature, offering a conducive space for exploration and outdoor interaction, encouraging children to engage with the natural world around them. Additionally, the architectural configuration is envisioned to facilitate meaningful social interactions, with the purpose of delivering a profound and meaningful learning experience during this crucial and formative stage of children’s lives, classified by Waldorf pedagogy as the first septennium.
