The early childhood care and education program in the «Periergi» group is carefully designed to meet the needs of the children. We focus on strengthening essential skills while promoting emotional security and healthy development.
In the toddler department, children take their first steps toward self-confidence and independence. With the guidance of our educators, they gradually acquire skills such as toilet training and participating in daily routines, including handwashing and dressing. Our care is provided with respect for each child’s personality and needs, always ensuring high standards of hygiene and comfort.
Most importantly, we strive to provide an environment where children feel safe and loved, within a supportive and warm atmosphere.
The children in the «Periergi» group take their first steps toward independence and autonomy, and we support them every step of the way in their development.
We focus on key areas such as:
Language Skills: Through word games, storytelling, and discussions, we encourage self-expression and strengthen their language abilities.
Social Skills: Activities in small groups promote cooperation, interaction, and understanding of others’ emotions, helping children develop social and emotional competence.
Sensory and Motor Development: Exploring colors, textures, sounds, and movements fosters curiosity and imagination, helping children interact with and understand the world around them.
In this way, the «Periergi» group progresses steadily, full of discoveries, supporting every aspect of their development.
For children in the toddler age group, play is the primary source of learning. Educational activities are designed in a playful manner, allowing us to support their cognitive and emotional development.
In a stimulating and playful environment, children can express themselves, create, play, move, laugh, sing, experiment, and discover knowledge through hands-on experiences.
At «oti agapo», we believe that reading fairy tales is one of the most magical and developmentally significant experiences for children. We encourage early interaction with books, as stories enhance imagination, language development, and emotional intelligence.
Educators bring selected stories to life through expressive storytelling and interactive activities, helping children discover new worlds and important values. Through illustrations and narration, children expand their vocabulary, strengthen their imagination, and learn to express themselves.
The weekly lending library reinforces the school-family connection, allowing children to share their favorite books with their parents.
The «Periergi» group stands out for their boundless curiosity and eagerness to explore. With the help of the cheerful little cat Titi, a symbol of curiosity and discovery, our children experience daily activities that bring them joy and excitement.
Through activities such as music-education and music-movement games, audio stories and musical fairy tales, dances, and songs, we create an environment where children feel safe, warm, and confident, encouraging them to express themselves and learn.
Learning is not limited to discovery through play; it also extends to sensory experiences. Children engage with different textures, sounds, smells, and visuals, enhancing their perception and ability to understand the world in a more holistic way.
Interaction with peers and activities that promote collaboration, such as group games, strengthen socialization, communication, and problem-solving skills. Through these interactions, children learn the importance of helping one another, preparing them for future relationships and social integration.
Introducing children to the Children’s Gym «filia» and sports games provides a fun and dynamic experience that supports the physical and social development of the «Periergi» group. Through balance exercises, running, jumping, and ball games, children improve their muscle strength, coordination, and motor skills while learning to cooperate and respect others.
Engaging in sports from an early age promotes healthy physical development and fosters a love for exercise and physical activity, making it a natural part of their daily routine.
Children aged 2 to 3 develop their social skills and learn to cooperate and interact with others. Through activities that promote socialization, such as group games, discussions, collaborative creations, and songs, children learn to communicate, show respect, and develop teamwork skills.
Connecting with their environment, whether nature or daily life, is equally important. With the help of educational tools and programs, children are encouraged to observe, explore, and recognize their natural surroundings, enhancing their emotional development and their ability to adapt to the world around them.
In our program for children aged 2 to 3, we provide love and support so they feel safe, happy, and ready to explore the world!
We learn together how to wash our hands, take care of our bodies, and use the bathroom with confidence.
Our educators are always nearby, ready to assist with respect and care, ensuring that each child feels capable of doing things independently.
We create a warm and nurturing environment, full of hugs and comfort, where our little ones can grow and learn with joy!
We ensure a healthy and balanced diet for the children, in collaboration with nutritionists, meeting all their dietary needs. Daily meals include breakfast, mid-morning snacks, and lunch, carefully prepared in our fully equipped kitchen using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Meals are served in their familiar space, providing opportunities for socialization and a sense of security during mealtimes. Additionally, we take into account special dietary requirements, allergies, or preferences, ensuring that each child eats safely and according to their individual needs.
For the transportation of children, we provide a private school bus, ensuring complete safety and comfort during travel. The bus is equipped with modern safety systems, while our experienced attendants look after the children’s well-being, providing constant attention and care throughout each journey.
At «oti agapo», we understand the importance of direct communication with parents and follow a comprehensive approach that strengthens trust and a sense of security for families.
As part of our annual planning, we organize regular meetings with parent groups to discuss key developmental topics and the needs of their children. Additionally, we collaborate with specialized professionals who participate in these meetings to provide valuable insights and guidance on potential psychological and developmental challenges. Parents are kept informed about their children’s socialization, emotional growth, and progress in motor skills through these regular sessions. We also provide daily updates via our app regarding meals, sleep, daily activities, and any other relevant information.
For any personal communication needs, parents can always request a meeting to discuss their child’s progress and exchange information.
At «oti agapo», student assessment is an ongoing, thoughtful process carried out with care and attention by our educators. Through observation, guidance, and continuous feedback, teachers evaluate each child’s progress and adapt their teaching methods to meet the unique needs of every student.
Assessment is further supported by specialized professionals who collaborate closely with our educators to provide a comprehensive understanding of each child’s development and skills.
Throughout the school year, we organize progress meetings with families — valuable opportunities to discuss children’s growth, celebrate their achievements, and support their continued development.
With our holistic approach to evaluation, we ensure that every child receives the right support to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
The toddler classroom is fully autonomous and equipped with all the necessary facilities for children’s comfort and safety. It includes a teaching area, a central stage, and a dedicated space for activities, creating the ideal conditions for communication, social interaction, and play.
The outdoor yards are carefully designed, offering a variety of activities and play opportunities that cater to the needs and interests of the children.
Our spaces are bright and filled with cheerful, lively colors, designed to create a sense of calm, joy, and security.
