Le Petit Gan

Le Petit Gan de Sophie believes that children are simply small citizens of the world, and that the early years are the best years to help them understand all the possibilities open to them. Our emphasis on the English, French and Hebrew languages is one way of achieving this. Another is our focus on helping others and giving back. We do this in part by getting our hands dirty in the garden, where children learn about the earth and grow fruits and vegetables not just for themselves but to be provide to the less fortunate. The circle of life in a small plot of land.
We believe that every child can learn and deserves to learn in a loving environment. We believe the messier the better in the service of learning – we’re not afraid of paint, glue, dirt, glitter, or the complicated questions that young children so often ask. We like getting down to eye level with our wee charges, where we teach them how to treat people with respect and be respected in return.
We take a whole child approach, incorporating as many aspects of play as possible into our curriculum. Who says learning can’t be fun? We believe that learning is important even at such an early age but that loving to learn is even more essential. We want children to leave Le Petit Gan ready for whatever other educational opportunities await them – academically, emotionally and socially.
