Playgroups
Nowadays, many children stay at home instead of going to daycare, leading parents to choose part-time work, remote work, or even hire someone outside to care for their children.
Considering the need to provide opportunities for children to meet and socialize, as parents, we want our children to have fun in a familiar and safe environment.
That's why we decided to offer Playgroups!
It was with these pre-school children (aged 1 to 4 years) in mind that we created these groups for interaction and engaging in playful, sensory, and artistic activities.
The Playgroups are led by an Early Childhood Educator and qualified professionals.
The activities are carefully planned according to the age group, characteristics, and interests of the children and the group.
FAQs

Understanding sharing, cooperation, and following simple routines.
Providing playful and educational activities.
Promoting the development of social, motor, cognitive, and language skills.
Stimulating new experiences and play.

Outside, we explore nature and continue with the proposed activities.
