Constructed Chaos - Book Release
"Myself - and my team - we can see a blank canvas. Not what isn’t there, but what could be there; a wide open expanse where imagination meets opportunity and has the potential to expand and become reality. A garden where children can learn from the world around them, implementing their ideas and experiences. A place with unlimited possibilities for growth, learning, fun, and adventure - where the seeds we sow now will give us year after year of bountiful harvests. Where creativity meets chaos - and magic happens."
Discover the story of Early Birds Istanbul – a pioneering project-based preschool that is redefining the landscape of early years education.
Their unique approach places children at the centre of their learning journey, challenging them to explore real-world problems while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, academic, social, and life skills.
In this inspiring new text, founder and owner Regina Kruse-Özçelik invites you along on the Early Birds Istanbul journey, sharing her proven methods, practices, and approaches to implementing project-based learning in early years education. Here, you’ll be introduced to a world where children learn by doing - and gain practical knowledge on the projects that have inspired a generation of children to think outside of the box.
Discover why project-based learning is one of the most comprehensive educational models in the world today – and how you can apply the principles to help your child develop the skills they need to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
By sharing our story with you, I hope that our methods will spread and that our practices will take root in schools and communities across different cultures, languages, landscapes, and societies.
"Sharing our story is the best way of helping the magic to multiply."
