The observation of the children takes into consideration the cultural-historical context and the process of developing an understanding of the nature of human beings according to Steiner and Vygostsky.

In attempt to build harmonious bridges with actions, emotions and to enlarge the educational context with spirituality by forming relationships of inclusion between all students.
