Parents are provided with a three-month program that describes the curriculum material as it unfolds at school. All the above learning activities are part of the constantly updated curriculum material that the school provides to all children with no further obligations for parents. The school has been reinforcing its preschool program with new methods and tools rendering it its final reception class into a very strong academic class with a closure that more than prepares the child for its elementary schooling.
The program from 1.30 to 2.30 pm OFFERS the option of English in order to facilitate children into becoming bilingual via its very creative nature. Other extracurricular optional activities such as Arts and Crafts & Theatrical motion and expression are also available as are Music classes and BrainOBrain mathematical classes.
The learning program is divided into two parts. The period between 8-9:30 am is dedicated to the creative, symbolic and expressive use of a variety of tools and materials in ‘’handicraft’’ areas set up by the teacher , considered an integral part of the cognitive/symbolic expressions involved in learning. The period between 11-12:30 provides a more structured learning format for the children with experiments, hypothesis, discussions, sorting and comparing of materials recognizing symbols, graphic presentations, observations, documentation, story- telling, pre-writing skills and songs. The free out-door play time ranges from one to one and a half hours, depending on the age group and it combines free and organized outdoor play.
TREHANDIRI – a traditional Greek boat taking on board the child into its first journey in the learning world. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy in preschool education, it promotes and encourages a ‘wholeness’ in the development of the child by focusing on psychomotor, cognitive, emotional, and social skills. A visionary school where education and daily care provide high-quality experiences for children aged two to six, preparing them for both Greek and English schooling thereafter.
Trehandiri regards the smooth transition of a child from home to school as a prerequisite goal that is successfully accomplished usually within a week, by establishing a one to one relationship with a well trained teacher. This can be done either directly in the morning for older newcomers or in May and June afternoons for younger children in preparation for September morning attendance. With this nurturing and secure approach we manage to establish the right attachment bond.
Alternatively the school sets up an afternoon class during the months of May and July for newcomers thus ensuring a smooth transference into the mainstream July or September program.
The school opens its embrace at 7.00 am and closes at 4.00 pm from Monday to Friday.
The learning program begins at 8.00 am and ends at 1.15 pm and begins at 1.15. pm till 4.00 pm with the English afternoon program and extracurricular activities.
Breakfast time is between 9.00 and 10.30 am depending on the age group. Breakfast is always provided by the parent and must be healthy without nuts, chocolates, and croissants except for Friday which can include a healthier treat. The school offers an option for home-cooked lunch available between 11.45 and 1.00 pm.
From 1.00 till 3.00 children undergo organized play activities set by the teachers.
Children from 3 years of age should be at school as early as possible in order to benefit from a well-structured and creative academic program. Our target is their best preparation for elementary school.
