The Fröbel approach is built around free discovery and child-led learning, even as pressure grows on early childhood education to prepare children earlier and more academically. We speak with Lucie Maucher and Katarina Barker from the Fröbel Early Learning Centre in Sydney about educational philosophy, social expectations and the realities of everyday kindergarten life. - Wie viel Lernen steckt im Spielen – und wie viel Schule verträgt der Kindergarten?
