PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

WELL-BEING

An environment conducive to child development

It is in a human-sized and caring structure that the child plays, builds, learns and evaluates him/herself. Located in Holland Village, in a family-friendly and multicultural neighbourhood with renewed dynamism, the school is organised around a central modular common space which serves the classrooms and administration offices. This space is at the heart of the school’s community vision: it includes a bright and pleasant library, a motor skills area, a play corner, and a green wall which echoes the sustainable development project adopted by the school.

School is not only the place for first learning, but it actively participates in the child’s good development. In the light of neuroscience, we now know that a child who feels serene learns better! La Petite Ecole makes every effort to ensure the well-being of each child by offering an environment and support that meets their needs as closely as possible.

EMOTIONS AT LA PETITE ECOLE

Children need support to discover their emotions. At La Petite Ecole, we do not try to hide or hold back our emotions, providing our pupils with the tools required to learn to recognise, accept, express and manage these emotions.

SELF-CONFIDENCE & SELF-ESTEEM

From a young age, children need support to grow, overcome obstacles and persevere. They are highly dependent on those around them, who give them, or not, the confidence and self-esteem to progress. At La Petite Ecole, we believe that teaching children to value themselves as individuals is the greatest gift an adult can give them. Parents and teachers must therefore constantly show their pupils/children that they believe in their ability to improve and overcome difficulties.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

To this end, our philosophy fully integrates mistakes into the learning process: our teaching team is trained to value the process and efforts of pupils, rather than the result. Children are encouraged to do things for themselves, experiment and try things out.

La Petite Ecole, a small-scale, caring and joyful school!
