Observing is the first step of learning
Observing plants, animals, stones and ecosystems: children learn by seeing the natural balance.
Watching an insect, taking care of plants and noticing the natural balance support empathy and sensitivity, and form the foundation of critical thinking and a scientific outlook.

An environment that encourages asking questions
Natural environments encourage children to ask questions and to investigate. Children don't receive knowledge ready-made; they draw conclusions from their own observations.
