The day: from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

Inspired by the Finnish educational model, mornings are dedicated to the fundamentals (one day in English, the other in French) and afternoons to educational projects (art, music, science, practical life). According to monthly themes, we propose activities (vocabulary, songs, stories, etc.).

Our curriculum

is divided in three fields

Part 1 :Part 2 Part 3

Practical activities

Learning the ordinary acts of daily life to become more autonomous (to put on and remove clothes, to button clothes, to tie shoelaces)
To carry objects, to pour liquid in containers, to prepare basic food,
To climb, to jump, to run in the outdoor playing area etc. so as to develop gross motor skills and confidence in what the body can do. Every day, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am Amine, our Psychomotrician, supervises these activities.
Every day, our Artistic Director (Skander) proposes educational projects (1 pm-2 pm).
To take care of the plants, of small animals, to separate the fermentable waste for the little garden.

The world of senses

Improvement of hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste. This refinement of the five senses allows moving from sensation to the association of ideas, from concrete to abstract (classification and comparison of new information). It prepares the learning of mathematics and the enrichment of oral and written language.
Our Music Teacher (once a week) introduces the children to the manipulation of various music instruments.
Once a week, Oral Expression : Space Control, Gross and Fine Motor Control, Development of Speaking Skills

The world of words

During circle times, the children are invited to express themselves, to share their emotions and thoughts, to sing in English, French and Arabic. We also tell them a short story.
Most of the children discover reading once they understand that the sound of letters they write thanks to the educational material, provided for this purpose, composes words.
As their language capacity level increases and they enrich their vocabulary, generally as they grow older, we expose them to new learning fields:

Mathematics: to sort objects according to their size, their number, to measure them, to learn the names of geometric figures in two or three dimensions, to understand the functioning of basic arithmetic operations (including fractions for the older children).
Biology (to discover stars, to sort mammals, insects, plants etc.), history and geography (puzzle of the maps of the world etc.)

The year is divided in monthly themes which inspire the practical indoor and outdoor activities. The schedules are relatively flexible, but we keep a certain routine and small rituals that reassure the children, especially the smallest ones. We do our best in order that they work independently, make their own choices and feel as comfortable as at home.

Individual Courses : Parents who desire individual courses (speech therapy, psychomotricity, learning a musical instrument, parental coaching etc.) have a room available to the professional of their choice where he/she can offer his/her expertise. For example, Amine offers individual courses of psychomotricity. The outside contributors proposed by parents are welcome. We can also advise them on the choice of a professional.
