Our educational concept
At melimelo daycare, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children, ensuring their overall development and safety.
Our approach is centered around fostering individuality while encouraging socialization and autonomy in a collective setting.
​
Here are some key aspects of our educational concept:
Space and Environment:
With over 200m2, our space has been carefully designed with your child in mind. Each room has a purpose, and has been designed to provide children with the space, freedom, and stimulation they need while aligning with their developmental requirements. Each area offers a unique and secure universe to make children feel comfortable and safe.
Safety:
The physical and emotional safety of each child is of utmost importance to us. We have child-friendly furniture and equipment suitable for different developmental stages, adhering to safety standards. Our educational team is vigilant about enforcing safety rules and ensuring the well-being of the children.
​
Play Material:
We provide a range of play materials that are carefully chosen to activate and stimulate the developmental needs of children. All our toys, games and educational material are complete and in good condition. Any damaged or unsafe items are promptly removed.
​
Play and Learning:
We firmly believe that play is crucial for a child's development. It is through play that children learn and grow. We allow free play in a pleasant environment and observe the children in their activities. While our team actively participates when requested by the children, we also respect their space and independence during playtime.
​
Activities and Outings:
We offer directed or semi-directed activities that promote children's awakening and growth. These activities are conducted in the form of workshops, focusing on creativity, cooking, crafts, motor skills, and various forms of awakening (physical, musical, and playful). Group and individual activities are balanced to encourage trust and bonding among the children.
​
Collective Living:
Our day care center provides a rich and fulfilling experience, different from home life. Children learn to develop their autonomy and social skills while adhering to specific rules during meals, outings, games, activities, nap time, and interactions with their peers.
Individuality and Socialization:
While we emphasize collective living, we never overlook the importance of individuality. We create an environment where children feel respected in their rhythm and expression. Our team listens to the children, encourages verbalization, and fosters a relationship built on respect and camaraderie.
Integration and Observation:
We embrace diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that children from different cultural backgrounds or with special needs are actively involved in our activities, considering their individual requirements. Observing each child is a vital tool in our work. It helps us understand their development, behavior, and needs better, allowing us to offer appropriate activities and support.
Autonomy:
We encourage children to take initiatives, make decisions, and choices to develop their autonomy. Our team supports their exploration, provides reassurance, accompanies them during various learning phases, and celebrates their achievements.
We are committed to providing a nurturing and enriching experience for your child at melimelo. Our team is dedicated to their well-being, growth, and overall development in a secure and stimulating environment.
