Our programmes
Progression designed for every age
From the earliest sensory discovery to 6th grade, every level has its own goals, activities and pace. Three cycles, one school — nothing is left to chance.
0 – 3 yearsNursery & Petite Section
Little ones need gentleness, routine and arms that are there. We build emotional security first — the foundation of all learning.
- Sensory and motor development, exploring materials
- Nap routines tailored to each child
- Toilet training support without pressure
- Language: songs, stories and finger games
3 – 6 yearsMoyenne & Grande Section
The child becomes an active participant: choosing, telling stories, cooperating. We prepare them for primary school with high standards and warmth.
- Independence: dressing, tidying, organising
- Social skills and group projects
- Pre-reading, early maths and handwriting
- Concrete preparation for first grade
6 – 12 years · PrimaryGrades 1 to 6
Your child continues at the same school, with no emotional disruption or change of familiar faces. Six structured years that lead calmly through to 6th grade.
- Reading, writing and arithmetic built step by step
- French, mathematics and scientific discovery
- Supervised homework and individual follow-up
- A complete cycle through 6th grade
Practical information
A clear day, flexible hours
So you can balance work and family life without guilt, we tell you everything: when to drop your child off between 7:30 and 8:00, what they do from 8:00 to 16:30, and how you collect them — until 17:00 if you need it.
A typical school day
7h30 – 8h00
Staggered drop-off
You drop your child off between 7:30 and 8:00 — not later. An educator greets them and notes their mood, sleep and any instructions for the day.
8h00 – 9h45
Morning classes
The first learning block: language, movement, hands-on activities and art, depending on the year group.
9h45 – 10h00
Break
Playtime in the courtyard, supervised by the educators. A breathing space before getting back to work.
10h00 – 12h00
Classes
The second learning block: reading, writing, arithmetic and discovery activities, depending on the year group.
12h00 – 15h00
Lunch break & nap
Some children go home for lunch, others stay at school: a meal in the canteen, then a nap for the youngest and quiet time for the older children.
15h00 – 16h30
Afternoon classes
The final block of the day, followed by a snack and a verbal handover of the day to parents.
