Develop each child's potential

Children's welcoming

8:30 AM – 8:50 AM

Gradual and personalized welcome for children, settling in for the school day, and start of educational activities.

Free activity time

9:00 AM - 11:30 AM

• Activity time, snacks freely available (fruits).
• All children participate in a motor skills activity or a park outing in the square near the school.
• The morning concludes with a group gathering where students can share what they have done.

Lunch

11:00 AM or 12:00 PM

Lunch in small groups in the classrooms, with both teachers. Students participate by setting the table. They wash their hands and sit in mixed-age groups. This encourages greater independence for younger children and prompts older children to help the younger ones as needed.
Mealtime is a moment for relaxation and interaction. Students are encouraged to taste everything but are not forced to eat. They clear their plates and help clean the room.

Group gathering then nap time

12:30 PM - 2:45 PM

Flexible nap time for children who need it (staggered wake-up), with no age limit, and quiet activities for those who don't nap.

Activity time at school OR Park outing

2:45 PM - 4:00 PM

Classroom activities, led by teachers. Students waking from their nap gently rejoin the group for independent or paired activities.

The same organization as in the morning. As children's attention tends to wane in the afternoon, we offer consolidation activities rather than discovery-based ones.

School dismissal

4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Staggered departure for children not staying for after-school care. Teachers inform parents about the day's events.
