About the Employer

We wholeheartedly believe that, in order to be optimised, children's learning needs to be enjoyable. Learning through play certainly produces excellent results!

In this way, children learn about the world, gain new experiences, make friends, improve their concentration and communication skills, as well as make significant progress physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. We firmly believe in creating opportunities for children to take risks within our safe parameters, to experiment, to build on their natural curiosity as learners, and to be imaginative.
