Our educational values
We have established a line of conduct for all our facilities. As such children are taught the same educational, psychological and social values in all Ribambelle facilities. We consider every child as being unique and are attentive to their tastes, interests and personal rhythm to assure the feel comfortable.
Free play
Our educational team distinguished free play and structured games.
A child often has to concentrate during the day. We therefore offer moments of relaxation and pleasure with free play. For example: Construction games, symbolic games, table games, outdoor games, reading, and drawing. Games are adapted to the child’s age and he can choose which activity he prefers. An educator is always present to guaranty the children’s physical and emotional security.
- Free play helps with:
- creativity and character forging,
- motor, psychological and cognitive development,
- learning to be respectful towards others and the equipment,
- taking initiatives and gaining independence,
- sharing, cooperation and conflict management.
- Our educators have many missions:
- be close by,
- putting forward game ideas whilst not conducting them,
- intervene in case of a conflict,
- have a positive and encouraging attitude,
- set a timetable.
Structured games
Structured games are activities suggested by an adult with a precise goal (such as cooking or gymnastics).
- Structured games help with:
- motor, intellectual, creative and speech development by experiencing new tools and materials,
- social interactions,
- respecting the equipment, the facility and discipline.
- The educators will be in charge of the following:
- provision of the necessary equipment,
- defining clear rules,
- giving children the choice to participate or not,
- accompany children whilst they are learning.
Manual and creative activities
Our different manual and creative activities are suggested to the appropriate age group to ensure children have the capacity and motivation to enjoy such activities. Activities vary according to different themes (such as seasons, events, celebrations…).
Manual and creative activities help with:
- creative and artistic abilities,
- responding to a child’s need to discover new things,
- tactile, motor and intellectual enrichment,
- curiosity stimulation,
- gaining personnal experience,
- social interactions,
- learning to be respectful towards others and the equipment,
- learning to be patient and to concentrate,
- controling movements,
- developping self-confidence,
- learning about seasonality and seasonal celebrations.
The educator will be in charge of:
- monitoring the activity by being the children’s assistant,
- make sure the children are safe,
- encourage and be knowledgeable.
And prise the children for their approche rather then their end product.

Outings
Outings are the perfect way for children to let of steam which is why we have them very often.
Outings help children:
- discover and observe nature and seasonality,
- learn the security rules which come with being outside and therefore acknowledging danger,
- motor development,
- develop a sens of observation.

Intermediate time
Intermediate times happen between two main activities.
This time is mainly spent:
- in the changing rooms,
- in the bath room,
- during the child’s arrival and departure,
- between 12pm to 2pm,
the child experiences these moments with the same intensity as they do the main activities.
These intermediate times represent a privileged moment in the adult/child relationship, especially when changing or dressing.
