Daily life

Lunch

  • Children eat on-site, with members of the team.
  • Meals are organic and adapted to each age group.
  • €5.50 per meal.
  • Packed lunches are welcome too.

Nap time (ages 2 to 4)

  • Every child in the Toddler House gets a nap after lunch.
  • How it goes depends on the child. We follow their lead and work with you on the details.

Rest time or nap (ages 3 to 6)

  • This age group is often in transition. Some children still nap, others don’t.
  • We figure it out together: how many days, what conditions, whether you want them woken at a specific time.
  • It can change as the year goes on.

Snack

  • The school doesn’t provide an afternoon snack.
  • Children staying for evening care can bring one and eat it outside at 4:30pm, as a group.

Evening care

  • A calm space where children can play freely, read, or go outside if the weather allows.
  • €3 per hour.
