Extracurricular program at the Dayschool

Eyes wide open, curious and full of energy - our children are ready to explore the world. At the Dayschool we believe that children have a natural desire to be creative, explore and express themselves in different ways. We encourage their creativity by offering a variety of activites where children can learn and discover in a fun and stimulating environment. Besides our daily avtivities which takes place in the child´s own group, we provide an extracurricular program with qualified teachers in various aritstic areas.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics (Music)

In our daycare centers, we are proud to incorporate the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach with the elements of Orff and Gordon methods. It fosters a deep appreciation for rhythm and melody, providing an engaging and interactive musical experience for children. Active participation in rhythmic activities enhances focus and concentration, improving cognitive skills that extend beyond music. The class involves live piano accompaniment and its dynamic makes learning music fun and enjoyable.
