Main activities:

My work at Lauliku kindergarten is diverse. Besides daily tasks such as helping the teachers to coordinate educational activities, preparing some materials, cleaning, and helping the children get dressed, I make various seasonal decorations to create a
welcoming atmosphere.

Furthermore, one of my goals is to introduce some German but especially, English words to the children while I am trying to understand more Estonian. Therefore, I painted some various symbols and wrote besides the Estonian also the English, and German translation for each.

In addition to that, I take part in special events from the kindergarten, and create some by my own, such as a baking workshop or some special music event. It is always about conveying excitement and knowledge to the children and integrating them into a lively community.
