Why invest in your child's education?
During the first years of life, from 0 to 4, your child goes through an essential period for building his inner security and trust in the adults who meet his vital needs. By exploring the world around him, your child develops at his own pace and according to his own needs. In the face of difficulties, he tries, falls, makes mistakes, then tries again, until his learning becomes solid experience. As your child grows, he or she will naturally progress towards new skills.
During this period, interaction with adults is of paramount importance. Your child seeks to imitate adults, and in this way learns the benevolence essential to these exchanges. The bond he establishes with the adult, and the positive regard you have for him, will enable him to feel secure enough to try out new things and gradually learn.
At the age of language development, it's crucial to pay special attention to enriching your child's vocabulary. This will enable him or her to better engage in learning to read later on. Around the age of 2, your child will also start to interact more with his peers. It's important to help him become aware of his own body, the space he needs to move, and to respect the bodies of others.
Simultaneously, it is crucial to gradually foster the development of all your child's cognitive abilities. By nurturing their accomplishments, you provide them with opportunities to advance in various domains, all the while preserving their motivation and self-confidence.
By investing in your child's education, you are providing a solid foundation for the future. Our school's educational team is committed to supporting each child's overall development, creating a positive, secure and stimulating environment.
We firmly believe that through our nurturing educational approach and with your support as parents, your child will have the opportunity to reach their full potential and acquire the necessary skills for success in life.
Between the ages of 4 and 8, your child will experience increased independence and enthusiasm for learning. They will naturally begin to explore imaginary realms inspired by their surroundings. Their insatiable curiosity will drive them to ask numerous questions, making it essential for us to accompany them in their learning journey.
During this stage, your child will also develop the skills needed to be a student and lay the foundation for future learning. The connection with their teacher holds great significance as it shapes their experience as a pupil. The teacher's perception of your child can significantly influence their feelings in this role. When it comes to learning to read, each child will advance at their unique pace, similar to the process of learning to walk. While some children may progress rapidly, others may require more time and support.
Your child will explore mathematics through hands-on activities at their own pace, emphasizing manipulation before abstraction. Around the age of 6, they will also begin to learn about programming, participate in philosophical discussions, and solve open-ended math problems. This exposure will facilitate the development of their reflective thinking, fostering free and well-structured thought processes.
Our private school in Switzerland will provide your child with a learning environment tailored to his/her needs and individual progress. .
Between the ages of 9 and 12, children begin to develop a deeper comprehension of their individual identity and their role within the world.
Children frequently embark on an emotional journey of self-discovery and self-expression. They may become aware of their personal preferences, interests, and values, and gradually become more at ease asserting themselves. This exploration can significantly contribute to the development of their self-esteem.
In terms of their social growth, children develop their abilities to engage in relationships and foster interpersonal connections. They acquire a better understanding of both themselves and others, leading to increased involvement in group settings and the formation of deeper friendships. Moreover, they begin to develop a heightened awareness of social expectations and tend to align themselves more closely with established norms and rules.
At the cognitive level, children develop their ability to reason and engage in abstract thinking. They become capable of tackling more intricate problems, generating hypotheses, and making logical deductions. Moreover, they may cultivate proficiency in particular areas of interest, such as mathematics, science, or the arts.
Physically, children continue to improve their gross and fine motor skills. They may become more adept at sports or artistic activities, and their coordination also improves. This enables them to take part in a wider variety of physical activities and discover new interests.
It's important to recognize that each child develops at his or her own pace and may reach these milestones at slightly different times. It is essential to provide the child with a stimulating environment conducive to personal development, offering opportunities for learning, play and exploration.
