Kids aged between 2 and 6 need a special approach, a safe and supporting environment, and encouraging tutors in order to unleash their full potential and to be ready for school and life. Valshebna Prikazka, or Fairy Tale, is a private educational centre that gives them exactly that. Its founders, Galin and Ralitsa Krastev, are a family dedicated to education. He has specialised Early and Preschool Pedagogy while she is an established maths teacher and the author of educational materials for competitive mathematics for 2nd and 4th grade. Their daughter, Veronika Krasteva, is following in her mother's footsteps. Thus, the family united their knowledge and skills to create Valshebna Prikazka. There, children have the opportunity to study and develop their talents in subjects such as Bulgarian language and literature, English language, mathematics, nature and environment, art and music, construction and technology, PE. Thanks to the small groups, each child is paid individual attention. Galin Krastev elaborates.

Is it really possible for early education to be like a fairy tale?

Early education could not simply be like a fairy tale – it should be like a fairy tale! You can introduce young children to information and teach them through songs, books and direct contact with the environment – in an easy and pleasant way. We do not have to tell them that we are teaching them new things at the moment. Everything is like a game, everything is a "fairy tale."

What is your most important task at Valshebna Prikazka?

To win the parents' trust and the children's hearts. When we achieve this, everything else comes easily.

How do you manage to create a friendly and encouraging environment that empowers children to develop their potential and to be happy?

While working with the kids and their parents we gradually get to know the character and habits of each child. Because each child is different. There is no formula. Individual approach and knowing the child are the key towards discovering each kid's potential and achieving results.

On developing what knowledge and skills do you focus on and how do you achieve this?

My wife is an established teacher in competitive maths for children in 1st-7th grade, and my daughter has graduated from an English-language high school and continues her education to become a maths and informatics teacher. This has affected the development of Valshebna Prikazka. We create age-appropriate tasks, we have a lot of educational games and we teach English. Again – all of these take place as games and entertainment.

How do you choose the teachers at Valshebna Prikazka?

We work with a young and energetic team of professionals. For us, it is important that the teachers are smiling, love children and enjoy working with them. We can teach them all the rest.

Вълшебна приказка: Място за щастливи деца

Галин Кръстев, основател и управител, за мисията да възпитаваш най-малките

Децата между 2 и 6 години се нуждаят от специален подход, сигурна и подкрепяща среда, и насърчаващи възпитатели, за да разгърнат целия си потенциал и да се подготвят за училището и живота. Частен образователен център "Вълшебна приказка" им дава точно това. Основателите му Галин и Ралица Кръстеви са семейство, посветено на педагогиката и възпитанието. Той е със специалност начална и предучилищна педагогика, а тя е дългогодишен преподавател по математика и автор на помагала по състезателна математика за II и IV клас. Дъщеря им Вероника Кръстева също върви по стъпките на майка си. Така семейството обединява знанията и уменията си в създаването на "Вълшебна приказка". В нея децата получават възможност да се учат и развиват талантите си в области като български език и литература, английски език, математика, околен свят, изобразително изкуство и музика, конструиране и технологии, и физическа култура. Малките групи позволяват на всяко дете да се обръща индивидуално внимание. Галин Кръстев разказва повече.

Може ли ранното детско образование да бъде наистина като вълшебна приказка?

Не просто може, а е задължително! Поднасянето на информация и обучението на децата в ранна детска възраст става с песнички, книжки и пряк контакт с околната среда – леко и приятно. Няма нужда да уточняваме пред тях, че в този момент ние ги учим на нови неща. Всичко е на игра и всичко е "вълшебна приказка".

Коя е най-важната задача, която си поставяте с "Вълшебна приказка"?

Да спечелим доверието на родителите и сърцата на децата. Когато постигнем това, всичко останало се случва с лекота.

Как успявате да създадете дружелюбна и насърчаваща среда, в която децата да развият потенциала си и да са щастливи?

В процеса на работа с децата и родителите им опознаваме характера и навиците на всяко дете. Защото всяко дете е различно. Няма формула. Индивидуалният подход и опознаването са ключът към разкриване на потенциала на всяко дете и постигането на резултати.

На изграждането на какви умения и знания фокусирате и как го постигате?

Съпругата ми е дългогодишен преподавател по състезателна математика за деца от I-VII клас, а дъщеря ми е завършила английска езикова гимназия и продължава образованието си като учител по математика и информатика. Това оказа влияние и върху развитието на "Вълшебна приказка". Измисляме задачи, които са подходящи за възрастта на нашите деца, имаме много образователни игри и обучение по английски език. Отново – всичко се прави под формата на игри и забавления.

Как подбирате учителите във "Вълшебна приказка"?

Работим с млад и енергичен екип от професионалисти. За нас е важно преподавателите да са усмихнати, да обичат децата и да работят с тях с удоволствие. На всичко останало можем да ги научим.
