Montessori
We are dedicated to promoting a positive and happy environment that allows the children to discover, learn and have fun doing so. We promote the Montessori curriculum within the class and also promote basic primary school which is very beneficial for when they progress to junior infants. The Montessori curriculum is divided into five different areas to which the children are introduced to at their own pace. The materials of Montessori have built-in control and error which promotes independent learning and discovery with or without assistance from one of the two teachers in the class. | Afterschool Club
We have the early drop-off and after school club service that works from Monday to Friday until 6:00 p.m. It is aimed at children from 4 to 12 years old (ECCE and ASD children). A wide variety of fun and entertaining activities, such as games, art and crafts, fun with food, story-telling sessions, physical education and free play are carried out, so that students learn and have fun as a group and individually. The purpose of this afterschool club is to provide help to parents who work or cannot be with their little ones in the afternoon and who want them to be in a safe, trustworthy place that offers learning, fun and care for them. | Pick-ups
We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to have to pick up children from one place and bring them to another, perhaps because work doesn´t allow it, we live far away or there is a lot of traffic, that's why in our center we help those families who need someone trusted to pick up and bring your child to our center. For this, we offer the pick-up service where two of our specialized teachers pick up children and bring him/her to our center where he/she can play and wait until he/she can be collected by the parents. This service applies to areas that are nearby or that are within a walking distance to the centre. | ASD Classes
In ASD Classes, we develop ‘Individual Educational Plans’ (IEPs) for every single student in the class, along with organizing a curriculum for the entire year, with different lesson plans for each month and for every classroom. Each student has a set of ‘Short-term Goals’ and ‘Long-term Goals’ in their IEP. Lesson plans include various extra-curricular and group activities for the class as well, for example, making playdough, animated story-time, yoga for kids etc. Each student is observed through various assessments to help develop each child’s ‘Individual Educational Plans’ (IEPs) as well as ‘Behaviour Support Plans’ (when needed). Observations help in keeping track of the progress the child makes, so that their IEPs can be modified and developed further to provide the student with the best learning experience possible. In addition, different activities are carried out to develop social relationships and interaction with peers. In our center, the learning of our children is one of the most important objectives. To achieve this objective all resources are created individually, and attending to the parts of learning that need to be reinforced and worked for their daily life. For each student a series of objectives are established, which are reinforced with highly visual and highly motivating material. |
Hope provides warm and loving environment for the wobblers and toddlers in which they grow and learn each day. We enrol children from the age of 12 months in our creche. The day in the creche starts with welcoming the children by the staff with hugs and cuddles. The children are gently allowed to adjust to the group’s routine. Children are on a schedule where their friends are doing the same type of activities at the same time. We focus majorly on the following developmental areas: social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language. In addition, children are able to use their newly discovered independence skills as they explore their environment. We conduct various activities such as birthday celebrations, celebrating festivals, Fun with food which promotes creativity, develops social relationships and sense of belonging. Daily opportunities such as Circle time, storytime, colouring, dancing, singing, playing with blocks, mud play, water play enables the children to learn and work harmoniously alongside and with each other and to listen to each other. Furthermore, it helps children build confidence when speaking in a group as well as respecting other children's individual characteristics. |
Nutrition
We guarantee the best nutrition by providing a variety of different nutrients and tastes which helps in their development. We encourage good healthy eating practices and be certain of providing highly nutritious, good quality meals for the mental and physical wellbeing of the children attending the daycare. We understand the fact that eating habits are formed early and so we are very careful about nutrition and also promote children to develop good eating habits.
