At Le Solarium, children explore and learn organically, guided by their own interests and curiosity. They will enjoy two nutritious snacks and a wholesome lunch prepared by a holistic nutritionist, ensuring their minds and bodies are well cared for as they grow and discover.
Why le Solarium???
Nature-Infused Education: Our learning center is enveloped by lush landscapes, providing an ever-changing backdrop that enhances experiential learning. Nature isn’t just a place for play; it’s an integral part of our curriculum, inspiring creativity and fostering a deeper connection to the world.
Daily Responsibilities: Children at Le Solarium have the unique opportunity to learn about responsibility through the care of our friendly bunnies and hens. This hands-on experience teaches them valuable lessons in empathy, responsibility, and animal care.
Holistic Nutrition: Our students are nourished with two snacks and a lunch each day, crafted with organic and/or local ingredients. Our menu is thoughtfully designed by a holistic nutritionist to ensure balanced, healthful meals that support optimal growth and development.
Child-Centered Approach: We put children at the heart of their learning journey. Our approach is rooted in the belief that children learn best when they are actively involved in their education. Through project-based learning, hands-on activities, and self-directed exploration, students develop critical thinking skills and a lifelong love for learning.
Personalized Learning: Every child is unique, and so is their learning path. Our dedicated educators work closely with each student to tailor their educational experience to their interests and strengths. This individualized attention ensures that every child is supported and challenged according to their own pace and preferences.
Holistic Development: We focus on the whole child, nurturing intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. Our programs include not only academic subjects but also activities that promote well-being, creativity, and resilience.
Experienced Guides: At Le Solarium, children benefit from the guidance of two Learn by Play specialists. Our passionate guides are dedicated to fostering healthy development and creating a supportive, engaging learning environment.
Community and Collaboration: We foster a strong sense of community and collaboration. Children work together on projects, engage in group discussions, and build lasting friendships. Our inclusive environment encourages empathy, cooperation, and mutual respect.
