We learn through love and play

At our Infant Care, every day is a new chance to discover. Through play, music and movement, painting, sensory activities and physical activity, children gradually build their skills, their confidence and their personality.

Each group follows its own educational programme, adapted to the children’s age and stage of development. In a warm and safe environment, we nurture their communication, sociability, creativity and independence, with respect for what makes each child unique.

A gentle, gradual settling in

Every child settles in gradually, with patience and respect for their own pace. In the first days, the time they stay is shaped around the child’s needs and increases step by step.

Our aim is for every child to feel safe and at home with the space, the teachers and the daily routine of the school. At the same time, we stay in close contact with the family, so that the move into the new environment is as calm and positive as possible.

Daily meals prepared with care

Our Infant Care serves three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Every meal is prepared in the school kitchen by our own cook, with fresh, carefully chosen ingredients.

The programme is based on the Mediterranean diet, contains no added sugar and varies according to the children’s age group. It is reviewed and signed off by a paediatrician and published on the online platform for parents.

Where there are allergies, intolerances or any other medical matter, the necessary adjustments are made, provided the school has been informed in good time and in the proper way.

Spaces designed around infants

Our Infant Care is housed in a building we own, with a yard, and has modern, safe rooms specially arranged for each age group.

The facilities include separate rooms for sleep and rest, nappy-changing areas and toilets adapted to the children’s age.

Every space has enhanced safety measures: secured doors and stairs, protectors on sockets and corners, non-slip floors, organised fire safety and regular disinfection.

A stable teaching team and updates that mean something

Every group is staffed by a lead early years teacher and a teaching assistant. This gives children familiar faces every day, which strengthens their sense of security, helps them settle in and builds a relationship of trust.

After enrolment, parents receive personal access to our online platform, where they get detailed updates on meals, sleep, nappy changes, activities and their child’s day as a whole.

In addition, a scheduled parents’ meeting takes place every three months, together with a written assessment of the child’s progress by their lead teacher.

Health and responsible care

A paediatrician visits our Infant Care once a month, and the annual meal programme is reviewed and signed off by a paediatrician.

Once enrolment is complete, parents fill in a detailed medical history form, so that we know in good time about any allergies, intolerances, medication or other particular needs.

Basic medication is given only with the parent’s prior written consent. We also follow the health regulations in force and the required procedures for protecting all the children.

Beside every child since 1994

«To Spitaki tis Sokolatas» has been open since 1994, with more than 30 years of experience in early years education and care.

With love, safety, respect for what makes each child unique and genuine cooperation with the family as our constant values, we create an environment where children can grow and take their first steps with confidence.

  • The best possible first school for my child!!!!! I did not feel unsafe for a single moment, not about the environment and not about whether my child was happy!!!! Every one of them is excellent at what they do and what they give, each from their own post and in their own way!!!! It is a joy to know your child is with people like these!!!!

  • Our little girl’s first year at the nursery, and we could not have made a better choice. The beautiful space, the cleanliness, and above all the people who make it what it is! Everyone is kind and gentle with the children, and they make a parent feel calm, certain and safe that their child is having a lovely time!
