It is important for a child to have the freedom in an environment to discover and develop their motor skills in a group experience. Our nursery school is bases it work on Emmi Pikler method with natural materials, free exploration and the fostering and development of movement based on the child’s individual interests.

Furthermore, to assist our youngest children and offer the fullest range of motor development, we offer yoga for babies to promote concentration, rhythm and relaxation.

SCHOOL WITHOUT SHOES

To assist with motor development, we have children leave their street shoes in a locker and wear non-slip socks, yoga or gymnastic type slippers during class-time and play. This helps strengthen legs and feet. Numerous studies show that the use of a shoe, especially early, is inadvisable and can lead to flat feet and other problems.
