At «oti agapo», we provide comprehensive educational support and implement modern, innovative programs focused on nurturing character, confidence, and creativity. Every member of our team, regardless of role, shares the same commitment to offering the best possible care and development for each child. Together, we create a supportive and inspiring learning environment built on quality and collaboration.
Founded in 2009, «oti agapo» was created to offer a contemporary approach to early childhood education in Corfu, moving beyond traditional and stereotypical models. From day one, we committed to establishing a space that nurtures each child’s uniqueness, focusing on their development through communication and interaction. Over the years, we have enriched our activities and updated our educational approach to meet the evolving needs of children, enhancing their social integration and the joy of learning.
Our mission is to create a world where learning is inspiring and joyful, with each child’s personal development and emotional well-being at the heart of our educational model. We focus on fostering a love of knowledge and cultivating values, enabling children to develop their own unique understanding of the world and preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of the fu
Our kindergarten operates under full authorization from the Ministry of Education, and all classes are certified by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, ensuring compliance with all necessary standards and regulations for children’s safety, health, and well-being. This certification, combined with continuous supervision and evaluation, guarantees that we provide high-quality education and care in a safe and supportive environment.
At «oti agapo», education is a holistic process, and our values are at the heart of everything we do.
We create an environment where every child feels accepted, valued, and free to express themselves. Respect for individuality and uniqueness is fundamental. We cultivate empathy, positive relationships, and equal opportunities, guiding children to become confident, open-minded, and respectful of the world around them.
We help children understand and express their emotions in healthy, constructive ways. Through hands-on activities, they develop self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to form meaningful relationships. Learning to manage their emotions lays the foundation for a balanced, socially conscious, and emotionally healthy life.
Children are encouraged to work in teams, developing social skills such as communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. They learn to express their ideas and listen to others, building the foundation for healthy relationships and effective teamwork in the future.
We nurture creativity every day, encouraging innovation and discovery. Children are given opportunities to explore their imagination and experiment with new ideas through artistic expression, music, drama, scientific exploration, and interaction with nature. Here, children don’t just learn about the world, they shape it.
We teach personal responsibility, promoting respect and cooperation. Children are encouraged to actively participate in school life, understand the consequences of their choices, and take ownership of their actions. This builds consistency and discipline, preparing them to become responsible and collaborative citizens of tomorrow.
We instill the importance of honesty and transparency, encouraging children to recognize and correct their mistakes. In a safe environment where they can express thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, we foster trust and the ability to act ethically and responsibly.
Beyond individual values, we promote solidarity as a core principle of our community. Children learn the importance of supporting and helping others. Through group activities and community events, they develop a spirit of contribution, cooperation, and social responsibility.
Finally, we cultivate a love of lifelong learning, encouraging curiosity and a continuous pursuit of knowledge and experiences. Through diverse activities that stimulate creativity and imagination, children develop an enduring desire to learn, preparing them to become active, informed, and engaged citizens of the future.
Our educators are highly trained and continuously update their skills to ensure that their teaching methods are modern and effective. From the first interaction with each child to daily activities, their dedication to nurturing curiosity and developing each child’s abilities is unwavering.
Collaboration with specialized professionals is a cornerstone of our approach. Children are supported by pediatricians, pediatric orthopedic specialists, pediatric dentists, child psychologists, nutritionists, music educators, physical trainers, and specialists in visual arts, technology, foreign languages, and theater. Additionally, we provide support from special education teachers, speech therapists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, along with family counseling through regular meetings and open sessions. Our specialized partners work closely with our team to ensure personalized care across all aspects of children’s physical, emotional, and social development.
Our administrative staff ensures the smooth daily operation of the school. They coordinate activities, organize events, and make sure the needs of both children and parents are met with professionalism and attention to detail. Their work is essential for providing a safe, organized, and welcoming learning environment.
Our team also includes the professional school bus driver, ensuring children travel safely to and from school with care and reliability. Our professional chef prepares healthy and delicious meals daily, combining nutrition and flavor to support children’s wellbeing. Cleaning staff maintain our facilities to the highest standards, while maintenance and technical teams ensure that equipment and spaces remain safe, functional, and conducive to learning.
