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.
