Our Mission

We focus on the integral and harmonious development of children, respecting their differences and individuality. Our goal is to provide a tranquil and safe environment for children to grow and learn.

Facilities

• Indoor Space: We have excellent indoor facilities for daily activities.
• Outdoor Area: Our large play zone features trees for shade, a pond with fish, and a pedagogical garden. We encourage outdoor experiences to help children learn to manage risks and solve problems together.

Age Groups

We accept children from 3 months to 6 years old. Our operating hours are from 07:30 to 19:30.

Nutrition

Meals are prepared daily by a nutritionist using fresh ingredients, mostly sourced from our own garden. We can adapt meals for children with different nutritional needs.

Activities

We offer a variety of engaging activities:

• Daily Pedagogical Activities: Prepared weekly to keep learning fun and fresh.
• Psychomotricity Classes: Held weekly to support physical development.
• Extracurricular Activities: Once a week, children can enjoy music, swimming, baby yoga, and English lessons.
• Daily Ateliers: After school, children can participate in cooking, science experiments, painting, movement, and storytelling dramatization.
• Inflatable Pool: Set up for hot days to keep children cool and active.

Daycare (Creche)

In our daycare, we use differentiated pedagogical methods for each age group. The High Scope method promotes active learning through exploration of the five senses.
