Pedagogical Philosophy
M’ agapao - Creative Activity Center for Children with Multiple Intelligences - Volos

 

At M’ agapao, we treat each child as a unique, multifaceted personality. There are no “gifted” or “ungifted” children. There are children with different ways of expressing themselves, thinking, and creating. And they all have something valuable to offer.

There are many ways to be “smart”
Our approach is based on Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, according to which there is not one single form of intelligence, but at least nine different ones:
• Verbal
• Logical-mathematical
• Musical/rhythmic
• Bodily/kinesthetic
• Spatial
• Interpersonal
• Intrapersonal
• Naturalistic/Naturalistic
• Emotional
Our workshops are designed so that each child finds the space to discover their inclinations, strengthen their self-confidence and learn through the joy of play and authentic exploration.

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
– M. Montessori

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
     
     
     
 

At the same time, we are inspired by Montessori pedagogy, where the environment is calm, organized and full of stimuli that encourage the child's autonomy and inner discipline. The child is not considered simply as a recipient of knowledge, but as a person with his own abilities, his own rhythm and an inner wisdom that deserves to be cultivated with respect.
Our goal is not just to teach, but to create a space full of security, inspiration and acceptance, where each child can shine uniquely. Deep acceptance is the foundation on which self-confidence and love for learning flourish.
Through actions that care for the child's all-round development, we support and empower him, so that he grows up full of dreams — but also the strength to make them come true.

"Parents are the child's first and most important teachers."

– M. Montessori

Respectively, when a parent feels understood and not judged, then they can stand by their child with truth, strength and love. That is why at M’ agapo we make sure to be by the parents’ side, through empowerment actions, experiential seminars and supportive meetings — so that they feel accepted, have substantial support in their demanding work and can evolve together with their child.
In this space, your child can be everything they dream of.
And you, you can be the parent you always wanted to be.
