Jill's Place

Welcome to Jill's Place!

Nestled in the heart of Carcavelos, Cascais, Lisbon, Jill's Place is a delightful preschool and daycare that feels just like home. We are dedicated to creating a personalized, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive and families feel welcomed.

Our Educational Approach

At Jill's Place, we embrace the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which means we see each child as a knowledgeable, creative, caring, and unique individual. Our approach is inspired by the wonderful insights from the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Project Zero, ensuring that the image of the child is at the center of everything we do.

Daily Life at Jill's Place

Every day is an adventure! Our teachers provide daily emails and activity overviews to keep parents in the loop about their child's learning journey. We believe in the power of active play, allowing children to explore and learn through hands-on experiences.

Special Activities

Each week, we offer a variety of special activities that spark joy and creativity:

• Art: Letting imaginations run wild with colors and crafts.
• Movement: Fun ways to get those little bodies moving!
• Music: Singing and dancing to the rhythm of joy.
• Nature: Exploring the wonders of the outdoors.
• Cooking: Learning to make delicious treats together.

Healthy Meals and Memories

All our meals are lovingly prepared on-site using fresh ingredients, ensuring that our little ones enjoy healthy and tasty food. At the end of each term, we celebrate the year with a personalized hardcover yearbook, capturing precious memories of their time at Jill's Place.

A Cozy, Loving Atmosphere

Our environment is designed to feel like an extension of home, filled with coziness and a touch of nature. We believe that a loving atmosphere helps children feel safe and secure, allowing them to explore and learn freely.
