In the infant group «Agapimeni» (=loved ones) at «oti agapo», we welcome infants from 2.5 to 24 months, offering a warm and nurturing start to their lives. Our daily care is fully tailored to the unique needs of each child, with special emphasis on safety, hygiene, and development within a well-equipped, functional, and joyful environment.
With specialized care, consistent and safe routines, as well as rich sensory experiences, we support the holistic psychomotor development of infants, while simultaneously laying the foundations for self-confidence, independence, and emotional security.
The education and daily care program we offer is carefully designed to fully meet the needs and expectations of parents, providing a comprehensive, safe, and high-quality experience for infants.
As part of daily care, all basic needs of infants are met, including diaper changes, washing, and ensuring hygiene and comfort. We place special emphasis on a structured and consistent sleep routine, ensuring the necessary rest for their development. Their daily routine is complemented with a thoughtfully planned meal schedule, tailored to their nutritional needs.
Our goal is for infants to feel calm and secure, enabling them to actively participate in a day filled with creative activities and play.
The connection between the child and play is fundamental, as learning occurs in the most natural and enjoyable way: through play, which becomes a fun and exciting experience full of discoveries.
Through play, children develop important skills, nurture their imagination, and strengthen their self-confidence. We encourage infants to participate in both group games, in the classroom or playground, as well as in educational and recreational activities inspired by our program. Each activity is designed to provide children with joy and stimuli for their holistic development.
At «oti agapo», we believe that reading fairy tales is one of the most magical and valuable experiences for children, even from the earliest ages. Our educators carefully select age-appropriate books for infants and accompany the reading with creative activities that enhance the learning process.
This experience goes beyond the joy of storytelling, offering deep aesthetic and emotional engagement. It helps children understand values, recognize emotions, and strengthen their socio-emotional development.
Motor activity plays a crucial role in the psychomotor development of infants and serves as a natural and enjoyable way to express their creativity. Through gentle, guided activities and movement-based games, infants develop fundamental motor skills, enhance coordination, and are encouraged to explore their environment safely and confidently.
Activities such as twisting, climbing, and playing with soft materials provide children with unique opportunities to become familiar with their bodies, gain control over their movements, and boost self-confidence. Gentle motor exercises and interactive games also promote socialization, as infants are encouraged to interact both with educators and with their peers.
At «oti agapo», we promote the holistic development of children starting from infancy, aiming to cultivate values, a positive attitude, and fundamental skills. Our program is tailored to the needs of this critical developmental stage, during which early social and psychomotor skills are formed through safe and well-organized activities.
Their holistic growth is supported with love, care, and creative activities, while we also provide a safe and encouraging space for emotional expression. Through play and socialization, we offer infants a healthy, happy, and strong start to their educational journey.
