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.
