Our goals:

  1. We support the natural process of a child's independence through the transition from the family environment to the institutional education system, while respecting the bond between mother and child according to John Bowlby's principles
  1. We develop and appropriately complement the talents and abilities that the child naturally possesses in their individual makeup and family environment
  1. We foster the ability to share one's talents and gifts with the collective, teaching children to perceive differences as opportunities for generosity
  1. We prepare the child for their future school attendance, enabling them to be a creative and valuable contribution to any environment they enter
  1. We monitor the individual development of each child and document their maturation process
  1. We impart values of humanity, mutual love for others, selfless assistance, and willingness to help
  1. We guide children to recognise that even the smallest actions they take in life can contribute to the common good
