Children’s groups at the daycare:
An organization designed for each child’s development
Within our daycare, we welcome children from 3 months to 4 years of age, with a maximum of 7 children per group, in a caring, safe, and stimulating environment.The organization of the children’s groups is a key pillar of our educational approach. It is thoughtfully designed to support each child’s overall development while respecting their individual rhythm, personality, needs, and the parents’ educational approach.
We intentionally work with small groups and limited numbers of children, ensuring that each child receives the attention, availability, and support they need from our educational team.
A thoughtful, balanced organization in small groups
Rather than grouping children strictly by age, they are organized into three balanced and carefully composed groups, all with limited numbers. This structure creates a positive group dynamic, where every child can feel secure, confident, and supported.
Group composition takes into account:
Three mixed-age groups
A group focused on emotional security and early learning
This group offers a calm and reassuring environment, where emotional security is a priority. Thanks to the small number of children, educators can:
- build strong bonds with each child,
- ensure emotional safety,
- encourage sensory exploration,
- respect individual routines (sleep, meals, quiet moments).
The presence of children of different ages fosters empathy, imitation, and gentle interaction.
A group encouraging exploration and social interaction
This group emphasizes active discovery and interaction in a stimulating, child-centered environment. Activities support:
- free movement,
- independent exploration,
- cooperation and communication,
- language development through play and imitation.
Small group sizes allow educators to closely observe each child and adapt activities to their needs.
A group supporting autonomy and community life
This group helps children develop independence, confidence, and social skills, while remaining within a secure and attentive framework. The goals include:
- encouraging initiative,
- supporting emotional expression,
- learning group rules and cooperation,
- fostering creativity and imagination.
Mixed ages and small group settings strengthen peer support and create a calm, respectful atmosphere.
Benefits of small, balanced groups in daycare
Choosing small, mixed-age groups offers many advantages:
A dedicated educational team working closely with families
Our early childhood professionals maintain close communication with families, ensuring continuity between home and daycare. Daily exchanges help build trust and adapt support to each child’s needs.
Through this organization, the daycare provides an ideal setting for children to grow, learn, and thrive from 3 months to 4 years old, supported by a caring and engaged team.
