How did we start?

Gradinita Rasarit are part of an international movement of more than 255 schools throughout the world based on Neo-Humanist Education, promoting holistic, ecological values. The goal of these kindergartens, is to develop the full potential of every child, keeping in mind all of the various levels of being, such as the psychological, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and creative aspects, and the great diversity of forms of intelligence. We believe that every child has a gift. This holistic approach, helps children to develop self-esteem and to have a positive, loving, creative and helpful attitude towards the world.

Our philosophy of education is known as Neo-Humanist Education. Neo-humanist philosophy promotes healthy ecological lifestyle, self-development, and encourages a spirit of service based on a deep empathy for all beings. In this age of every expanding technological stimulation, it becomes even more important to give attention to the cultivation of a rich inner life, and the sense of peacefulness and satisfaction that can only come from within.

The Goals of Rasarit:

Self-esteem comes from the feeling that we are loved, beautiful and special. It is the basis of success, optimism and creativity in life.
“I am good, I am loving, and I am loved.”

Service attitude – it gives meaningfulness to life.

“I am here to help all those around me the best I can.”

Developing a strong personality with a moral conscience and empathy for all.

“Others feel as I feel too, so I must not harm anyone.”

To stimulate curiosity and the joy of discovery which is the source of a life-long love of learning.
“I love to learn! Learning is fun!”
