Kindergarten at Home

WHAT IS “KINDERGARTEN AT HOME”?!

The troubling times require us to temporarily change our way of life and provide the healthiest environment for our children.

WE STAY AT HOME! My friend, despite all inconveniences, this is a gift — priceless time just for you, your child and your grandchild!

Turn these hours into the most fun, useful and interesting experience and with the books we offer, help the child continue their learning, enrich their knowledge and skills, even during the absence from kindergarten.

The books are richly illustrated and easy to use. In them you will find short activities (max. 20 min.) on various topics about nature and people, nature calendars, simple fun experiments, stories and letters, first encounters with numbers and logical thinking, valuable tasks for Children with Golden Hearts and many tasks for coloring, cutting, gluing, assembling and making objects for play!

Help your child rediscover how fun and enjoyable it is to learn and create TOGETHER in the KINDERGARTEN AT HOME, even when they stay at home for a short time without their friends.

The books are developed by age — for 5‑ and 6‑year‑old children. The book sets include 4 books with two sides each.

Publishing House “Mark‑91”

Although we live in a material world, the books that “MARK‑91” Publishing House Plovdiv has been creating for 25 years with sincere love for the child, we offer as a spiritual weapon to YOU: the teachers — creators and innovators who have chosen the upbringing of the child as their profession and mission, and to the parents — to help them see this complex world through the eyes of their child and with their unconditional love encourage them and give them courage to unfold their potential. Let us, with joint efforts, try to raise an autonomous personality, associated with the dynamic changes, who throughout their life will remain the Bulgarian CHILD WITH A GOLDEN HEART!

Educational System “Child with a Golden Heart”

The power of pedagogical love – the one that opens doors and creates miracles!

The educational system has a strongly expressed value‑based character, corresponding to the requirements of the modern information society – to educate an autonomous personality, associated with dynamic changes. This goal of preschool education is achievable only through the power of pedagogical love for the child – the love that opens doors and creates miracles.

---

Accepting the child as they are, the trust invested in them, and the expressed pedagogical love are the three precious stones of the educational system “Child with a Golden Heart”, which open the child to dialogue and make them confident and secure in their further path of sustainable development.

---

Through the Educational System “Child with a Golden Heart”, the publishing house’s educational books are applied in part of the kindergartens in Bulgaria.

---

The educational books are structured following the annual curriculum from the “Teacher’s Book” for the respective group. For each week in the annual curriculum, an educational task is defined, which is reflected in the educational books and corresponds to the themes and expected results in all educational areas.

The holistic principle, which is a major priority in the development of the entire educational system, as well as the educational focus of the weekly curriculum, gives teachers great opportunities to integrate pedagogical situations from different educational areas.

Assoc. Prof. Sabeva defines the Educational System “Child with a Golden Heart” as an alternative one. The system is included in the curriculum of the discipline “Alternatives of Pedagogical Interaction in Kindergarten” within the master’s program “Alternatives in Preschool and Primary School Pedagogy” at PU.

Only in the Educational System “Child with a Golden Heart” the educational books in Bulgarian Language and Literature for 5‑ and 6‑year‑olds introduce children to all thirty beloved Bulgarian letters in a fun, logical, understandable and playful way. Letters with little legs become a favorite companion of the child as early as the third group.

Petya Dubarova

Friends,
2019 is the Year of Petya Dubarova. “Grain of Moonlight” – A Tale about Petya Dubarova is our deep bow, sincere love and admiration for the spirit and talent of the Sister of the Sun from Burgas.

“… ‘Grain of Moonlight’ is one of the best children’s books I have seen in recent years… It is intended both for primary school students and for their parents, as an example of how to communicate with the child through the book… This book is the first to achieve such adequate communication with the child audience…”

“… The fairy‑tale text – a ‘biographical story’, begins like this: ‘Dear child, you are 10 years old, right? It is time to tell you a tale about an extraordinary little girl who lived among people for only seventeen years, but gifted them with the most poetic tale ever written by a child – the tale of her life!’”

“… With the ending of her tale, Lyuba Markova invites children to create, to follow the wonderful child. And the whole book seems to strive to say exactly this – this is what you can be too – as childhood speaks, which knows how to see the miracle and life together.”

“… It is enough to leaf through the visitor’s book in the House‑Museum ‘Petya Dubarova’ to see that ‘Grain of Moonlight’ hits the mark. It clearly deeply moves the youngest readers of Petya: ‘Her poems slip into the children’s souls and make them better’ (Delyan – 4th grade), ‘Bulgaria loves you, Petya Dubarova’ (third‑graders), ‘When I read the book ‘Grain of Moonlight’, I felt a lot of love and joy, but I became sad that such a talented person is no longer alive. But I am sure she is watching us from above, because she is an angel’ (Dilyana, 4th grade).”
