The educational project
The crèche's educational or pedagogical project enables each parent to know and understand how it works, with a view to providing the best possible support for the children and their families.
This project, which the crèche wholeheartedly supports, is enriched by the shared observations of the parents and the team's professionals. Thus, in close collaboration with the families, the crèche ensure:
- that each child is offered the most individualized care possible, taking into account the inherent constraints of the community
- that each child learns about group life and is thus lead towards socialization and schooling..
- the development and stimulation of children's creativity and senses through early learning activities and workshops.
- that the child is accompanied towards his autonomy by taking into account his sensorimotor and emotional development and his personality.
- respect the physiological rhythms of children such as sleep, eating, motor skills, toilet training, etc. .
- that each child is welcomed with his or her difference
- that children's physical and verbal expression through games, reading, singing, etc... is encouraged
Eco-responsible approach
Anxious to act with respect for the environment, the crèche Les Écureuils is an ideal place to take an interest in sustainable development:
- A place with an impact on the environment
- A place where health is at the heart of our concerns
- A place to live: for children and professionals
- A place of education and learning: for children and families
- Finally, early childhood: an ideal stage for changing practices
There are several areas to be considered in the actions to be carried out by the crèche on sustainable development:
- Food: organic products on the children's menu
- Maintenance: reduction of products with chemical ingredients and use of natural products
- Waste: reduce, reuse, repair
