In the Preschool section they can now develop their self-esteem so that they can mature spiritually and cultivate their creativity. Through the appropriate pedagogical program, adapted to the age of the children, we take care of their all-round development, emphasizing active and experiential learning. So we cultivate a multitude of abilities and skills of children. We encourage children to study the environment around them by expanding, experimenting and discovering, expressing their thoughts and experiences. We create a supportive framework of cooperation, interaction and communication of children with each other. In the field of creation and expression we bring children in contact with arts such as visual arts, theatrical play, movement and music. We offer rich stimuli by bringing them in contact with works of art, so that they develop a personal relationship with culture. Through these arts they enrich their potential to express in different ways and means, their thoughts and feelings. Children of this age are preparing for Kindergarten.

In the Small Preschool: At this age of “what and why” and “young adolescence”, children are ready to learn and understand through the right stimuli, which sharpen their senses, and give answers to too many questions. The need is created for children to socialize with others but also in interaction with their environment! Their sociability develops in depth, the first stable friendships are created and children, autonomous from their personal needs, enter a framework of school life.

At the Post-Infant Department we provide the appropriate conditions for young children to feel happy and safe. The love, affection, care, tenderness of our experienced educators enhances the smooth transition of the child from the family to the school community. Every child is prepared and encouraged to join as an equal member in the small social group of our school.

Also, at regular intervals, a group meeting of parents is held with the psychologist and the educators, where issues that concern the parents regarding the education of their children are analyzed.
