Learning through play and discovery

At our Preschool, learning becomes an everyday experience. Through pre-writing, early maths concepts, art, drama play, STEM and music movement, children observe, experiment, create and work together.

The programme is designed for children aged 2.5 to 4 and adapts to their stage of development. Our aim is to nurture imagination, language, fine and gross motor skills, sociability and independence in every child, within a warm and supportive environment.

A gentle, gradual settling in

Every child joins the Preschool gradually, with patience and respect for their own pace.

In the first days, the time they stay is adjusted to the child’s needs and increases step by step, until they feel safe and at home with the space, the teachers and the daily routine of the school.

At the same time, we keep in steady contact with the family, so that the move into the school environment is as calm and positive as possible.

Daily meals prepared with care

Our Preschool serves three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. All of them are 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 is reviewed and signed off by a paediatrician. The annual meal programme is published on the online platform for parents.

In the case of an allergy, an intolerance or a documented medical matter, the necessary adjustments are made, provided the school has been informed in good time and in the proper way.

Spaces designed for children

Our Preschools in Elefsina and Aspropyrgos are housed in buildings we own, with yards, and have modern classrooms, rooms for sleep and children’s toilets specially arranged for their age.

Every site has organised safety measures: secured doors and stairs, protectors on sockets and corners, 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, so that children have familiar faces and continuous support every day.

After enrolment, parents receive personal access to the school’s online platform, where they are kept informed in detail about meals, activities, participation and their child’s day as a whole.

In addition, a scheduled parents’ meeting takes place every three months, along with a written assessment by the group’s lead teacher.

Health and responsible care

A paediatrician visits our Preschool once a month, and once enrolment is complete parents fill in a detailed medical history form.

This way the school knows 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 the children and the school community.

Beside children and their families since 1994

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

With love, consistency and respect for what makes each child unique, we create an environment where children feel safe, develop their skills and prepare step by step for the next stage of their education.

Summer show and graduation

At the end of each school year we hold the Preschool’s summer show, together with the graduation ceremony for the children who are completing their time with us.

A special celebration full of creativity, joy and lovely memories for the children and their families.

  • An outstanding school with wonderful teachers and great professionalism. The quality of the education is truly remarkable, and so is the attention given to each child individually. Without any exaggeration I can say it is the best school in every respect, at least in Attica! It is one of very few places where the dedication to the child and to the parent alike is beyond question, with the protection and the development of the pupils as its aim. The genuine love for children shown by the management could stand as an example for any kind of educational institution.

    Εξαιρετικό σχολείο με καταπληκτικούς εκπαιδευτικούς και μεγάλο επαγγελματισμό. Η ποιότητα της εκπαίδευσης είναι πραγματικά αξιοσημείωτη όπως και το ενδιαφέρον για κάθε παιδί ξεχωριστά. Το καλύτερο σχολείο από όλες τις απόψεις τουλάχιστον στην Αττική μπορώ να πω χωρίς καμία υπερβολή ! Από τους ελάχιστους χώρους όπου η προσήλωση στο παιδί αλλά και στον γονέα είναι αδιαμφισβήτητα ακαταμάχητη, με στόχο την προστασία και την ανάπτυξη των μαθητών. Η γνήσια αγάπη για τα παιδιά εκ μέρους της διεύθυνσης μπορεί να αποτελέσει παράδειγμα για κάθε είδους εκπαιδευτική μονάδα.

  • A wonderful environment for our little angels. Through creative play and activities, both inside the school and on educational outings beyond it, the children broaden their horizons in every area. After my daughter, my son will be going there too, because I was very pleased!

    Ένα υπέροχο περιβάλλον για τα μικρά μας αγγελούδια. Μέσα από δημιουργικό παιχνίδι και δραστηριότητες τόσο εντός σχολικού χώρου όσο και από εκπαιδευτικές εκδρομές εκτός αυτού, τα παιδιά ανοίγουν τους ορίζοντες τους σε όλους τους τομείς. Μετά την κόρη μου θα φοιτήσει εκεί και ο γιος μου καθώς έμεινα πολύ ευχαριστημένος!

  • A wonderful school with wonderful teachers who are eager to spend time with the children and to support a parent in whatever they are trying to do for their child’s development, with patience and sound advice. We had a very calm and at the same time creative year; I can hardly wait for us to start the pre-kindergarten class!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

    Ένα υπέροχο σχολείο με καταπληκτικους εκπαιδευτικούς που έχουν όρεξη να ασχοληθούν με τα παιδιά, να βοηθήσουν τον γονιό σε οποια προσπάθεια κάνει για την εξέλιξη του παιδιού του με υπομονή και σωστές συμβουλές. Μια πολύ ήρεμη και συνάμα δημιουργική χρονιά πέρασε, περιμένω πως και πως να ξεκινήσουμε το προνηπιο !! Σας ευχαριστώ απο καρδιάς!!!
