For days of adverse weather conditions, we have a shelter house
🦎Nature play group for children ages 4 to 8
🦎Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
🦎The ratio is reduced to one adult for every eight kids
🦎Most of the time of the day is dedicated to free and spontaneous play, being able to manipulate the environment as part of their learning through excavations, holes, climbing...
🦎The materials used are mostly of natural origin
🦎The autonomy, self-determination and self-regulation of the little ones is favored and accompanied
🦎The variable risk involved in being in nature is evaluated by the accompanying people - we try to control, but not eliminate - and is valued as a factor that contributes to the acquisition of personal and social skills (self-knowledge, evaluation of the terrain and capabilities). individual, frustration tolerance, group collaboration...)
🦎The professionals who intervene follow the line of respectful support and low directivity
🦎Our nature play group has a center pedagogical project that meets the objectives of current regulations on education, in the second cycle of infant and first cycle of primary school.
🦎We are based on the activities and proposals of the SILVIVA Open Sky School, a Swiss environmental education foundation.
