Classes
The organisation of classes is similar to that of the French educational system ("Pré-Petite Section", "Petite Section" and "Moyenne Section"). The classes number are smalls (between 6 and 16 children depending on their age). Teachers divide classes into small groups of children whenever activities are appropriate.
Activities are always planned around a topic (e.g. science, music, emotions, people who help us, etc.) in order to make learning more tangible and fun. Outings are organised on a regular basis (theatre, museums, farms) to illustrate class-based learning.
- " La Pré-Petite Section " - PPS (2 - 3 years old)
- " La Petite Section " - PS (3 - 4 years old)
- " La Moyenne Section " - MS (4 - 5 years old)
