…A similar moment occurred to us in October 2003, when our father Michalis came up with an idea. He had a daughter, Dimitra, a special early childhood educator – BA Education, MA Early Childhood Education, ITD Montessori Centre International – with working experience in day-care centers of Chalandri, an Athens suburb. He also had a son,Yorgos, an economist – BSc., MSc. Finance.
What might these two siblings have in common? Immense love for people; rich imagination; the dream of creating something valuable; Plenty of ideas for the combination of all the above.
What do people need for a healthy development and the achievement of happiness in their life? They need foundations. The unique opportunity to go through their childhood, the most important years in one’s life, as well as possible. And for an adult to be a free spirit and a free soul, they must have started working towards this end from their early years.
It was in early childhood care and education that we wanted to introduce novel ideas and combine them with profound love and respect for each child’s individuality.
To blend colors with constructions, music with movement, the Greek with the English language, letters with numbers.
To foster the development of the most significant relationship: friendship.
To instil teamspirit into the children’s mindset.
To host children in places designed to help them discover their hidden talents, express their feelings, gain insights and share knowledge, so that they can be smoothly introduced into the world of Arts and Letters.
To help a small child’s first and shaky steps become steady leaps forward of a unique personality.
Now that we have our own families, we can understand the parents’ worries about having to live separately from their little children for some hours a day as well as the children’s fears about the new and the unknown.
That is why we pay special attention to the children’s adjustment and, at the start of the year, we all assemble to meet each other. To spend the first moments together in the same place. Parents, children and educators. To bring the family close to our early childhood centerand to create a second home, where the children will be happy, so that the parents will be unworried.
Welcome to a place where every child is unique, important and loved!
We invite you to the wonderful world of learning, on a journey full of educational adventure, friendship, love and evolution!
