Pedagogy and activities

«Help me to do it myself»

Our educational project...

Respect, sharing, and tolerance are the key values of our pedagogy. It is through exposure to art, music, theater, sports, nature, and the environment that we strive every day to pass them on to the children. We are proud to offer them the opportunity to grow, develop as individuals, and enrich their lives with meaningful experiences. We wish to instill in them a passion for discovery, a desire to learn, and an eagerness to expand their knowledge all in a spirit of respect for others and for nature and surrounded by love.

Our objective is to promote the healthy development of the child, their self-confidence, and their social inclusion, as well as to create equal opportunities among individuals through diversified activities and a secure environment that supports and accompanies children according to their age.

We strictly ensure respect and support for the individual pace of each child by adapting age-appropriate stimulations for their early development. In this way, they can use their abilities and develop their personality. The different workshops organized allow the child to search, try, learn, and understand things by themselves, or with the help of the educator if they feel the need. The themes and materials are designed to nurture their creativity and imagination, promote their personal well-being as an individual, and encourage their reflection.

We have chosen to adopt an active educational process, which means involving the children in daily decisions: we propose activities and ask for their choices and desires. We do not impose activities; we invite the child to participate, leaving them the choice as to whether or not to take part, as well as the extent to which they wish to get involved. However, to achieve this, it is essential to create a stable bond between the child and their reference person, so that they feel secure and confident. Only under this condition the child will be able to explore the world with complete peace of mind and autonomy, gaining valuable experiences along the way.

Through activities...

Emotions and social relationships

Times of exchange offer children the opportunity to express themselves by creating a special relationship with the adult, all while managing their emotions. Free and symbolic play allows children to interact together, learning to collaborate, to consider the opinions of others, and to share their own opinion while remaining fair. These are true moments of sharing and socialization, where the priority is to accept each one’s emotions.

Values, participation, and democracy

At the daycare children live their first experiences of cohabitation within a group, developing a value system: it is a daily challenge to discover one’s own will and to integrate into a group as an individual, while respecting others, with tolerance and solidarity. Our educators consider the children as their equals; they are encouraged to express their choices and opinions in the group.

A wide range of materials is directly available to the children allowing them to play and occupy themselves with complete autonomy. They are free to participate and get involved according to their choice and desire, alone or in a group, with the help of the educator if they request it.

Language, communication, and media

Special attention is given to the development of your child’s language skills. This is why our educators are committed to stimulating this learning in all everyday actions. Dialogue between children and adults also takes place through exchanges, little role plays and books in different languages.

As Luxembourg is a multicultural country, it is important to foster linguistic development by highlighting the children’s mother tongues, inviting parents to organize activities in their language.

Aesthetics, creativity, and art

Creativity is not limited to painting on a blank sheet of paper!

To stimulate children’s creative potential and introduce them to other forms of expression, we also use little role plays, dance, theater, and music. It is important to offer different materials to be used autonomously, so that they can create their own sensory experiences, such as natural elements made available outdoors or building materials for creating and crafting.

Artistic activities allow children to create and experiment, to open up to other means of expression, but also to increase their sensitivity to art and to develop divergent thinking.

Movement, body awareness, and health

It is important to offer the child the opportunity to move, to get to know their body, and to test their strength, in a secure environment adapted to their age and individual pace. We are committed to organize outdoor activities allowing physical activity and interactions, working on movement and gross motor skills.

We also offer transfer activities, puzzles, and other building games that develop fine motor skills. Indeed, the child discovers their body through play!

But health also relies on a healthy and varied diet that respects the child’s nutritional needs and dietary habits, as well as their taste enjoyment: every day, the children prepare the afternoon snack themselves.

Natural sciences and technology

At Kids’Ville, we wish to encourage the curiosity to explore and make discoveries, but also to try out scientific experiments: the child is naturally curious and has a need to learn. The activities offered allow them to discover quantities and materials, as well as early mathematical concepts involving size, weight, quantity, etc.

We make it a point of honor to introduce them to nature, fauna, and flora, so that they become future adults who are sensitive to the climate and ecology, through daily outings as well as our botanical garden, our rabbit, and aquarium.
