Activities
Diverse Learning Environments
French & English, naturally spoken throughout the day.
0–5 years
Parent & Child: 9:30 AM–12:00 PM
​
Every morning, MicroCosmos welcomes children aged 0 to 5 accompanied by a parent in a space designed for them to play, explore and grow at their own pace.
​
Play, explore, grow
Inspired by the approaches of Winnicott and Pikler, our environment encourages free play, movement and sensory exploration, with movement equipment, objects to manipulate, books, sounds, lights and a variety of textures and materials.
​
An early childhood professional observes, supports and offers experiences adapted to each child, while also being available to talk with parents. Support is provided in French and English, allowing children to discover both languages naturally.
Activities to explore further
Additional paid workshops are available, including music and sensory activities, painting, water play, baby gym, baby yoga, messy play, nature and movement.
​
A space for children… and parents
MicroCosmos is also a place for families to connect. Parents can meet and talk with other families, take some time for themselves, or use our on-site coworking space (additional fee), while staying close to their child.
Our priority is to create a space where children are free to explore and parents can find their own balance between being present, feeling supported and having some independence.
Parents & Families
Listen, Guide, Support
12:00 PM–2:00 PM · By appointment
Parenthood and family life can bring questions, transitions and challenges, especially when living abroad. MicroCosmos offers a confidential and supportive space for children, parents and families.
​
Parenting Support — French
Alexia, Early Childhood Educator, supports parents with everyday concerns such as sleep, emotions, separation, independence, boundaries, sibling relationships, school transitions and family changes.
​
Therapeutic Support & Play Therapy — English
Lenise supports children and families with emotional well-being, self-confidence, relationships and life transitions. Through Play Therapy, children can use play to express experiences and emotions that may be difficult to put into words.
​
Psychological Support — Greek, English & Spanish
Flora, Psychologist, offers individual consultations for children, teenagers, adults and families. She also leads workshops at MicroCosmos focused on emotions and emotional development.
Flora’s consultations are available from 2:30 PM to 9:00 PM, by appointment.
​
Supporting International Families
We pay particular attention to expatriate, multicultural and multilingual families, including experiences related to bilingualism, cultural adjustment, changing schools, separation from extended family and life transitions.
At MicroCosmos, support does not have to begin with a problem. A question, a transition or simply the need to talk can be enough to make an appointment.
After School
5–12 years · 3:00 PM–7:00 PM
Every afternoon, MicroCosmos welcomes children aged 5 to 12 in a safe and supportive environment where they can play, create, explore and spend time together. Three ways to explore.
Free Play & Creativity
Children choose what they want to do: LEGO®, Kapla®, board games, drawing, arts and crafts, books, imaginative play or simply relaxing.
Workshops & Discovery
Daily workshops led by professionals introduce children to new experiences: cooking, science, art, music, photography, movement, yoga, emotions, nature and culture.
​
Nature & Outdoors
Our garden offers opportunities for gardening, water play, nature observation, land art, treasure hunts, group games and outdoor exploration.
​
French & English, Naturally
French and English are naturally integrated into play and everyday interactions. MicroCosmos is not a language school: children discover both languages through playful, meaningful experiences.
​
Adapted to Every Age
Spaces, materials and activities are adapted to each child’s age, development and interests, encouraging independence, creativity, social connections and the joy of being together.
