Zoo Club is different. It provides to the kids a safe and nurturing environment. The highly trained teachers help every child to develop socially as well as intellectually. The educational programs are age-specific structured. The large outdoor playgrounds are ideal for preschool education.
Every educational program of Zoo Club is unique and based around the simple idea that all children are smart in their own ways. For us your child is a clever child, whether it is one or six years old.
Care and education are the two terms that describe us.
The educational system we implement in Zoo Club is the "open school" or "open plan school". Inspired by the work of Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner and Lev Vygotsky, the "open school" is based upon the following principles:
- Kids should have control of the elements they explore and investigate.
- Kids learn through the experiences of touching, moving, listening and hearing.
- Kids get in touch with the other kids and the elements they explore.
- Kids are offered unlimited chances to express themselves.
- The kid's education has to be guided by the kid. Η εκπαίδευση του παιδιού πρέπει να κατευθύνεται από το ίδιο το παιδί. An appropriate environment created accordingly with the kids' interests is more meaningful than the classic tables and chairs, and the supervision. A rich environment that creates plenty of interests and emotions to the kids, under the discrete supervision of the teachers, has the best results in their mentality and improvement.
The Zoo Club day nurseries and the kindergarten are situated into two beautiful green gardens. The first one operates in 2.500 sq.m. in Panorama (Myrtias 9) and the other one in 11.000 sq.m. in Elaiones (Anatolis 40), Thessaloniki. Both are friendly, secure and pleasant places, equivalent to the best European day nurseries.
We are fully aware of the importance preschool education has for the development of young children both at an early and later stages of their lives, as well as of the intense concerns of the parents about the environment which will host their kid during the most sensitive period of his/her life.
Great importance has also been given to the choice of colours, equipment the shaping of the gardens and the playgrounds, the design of which has been performed by a child psychologist and a specialized architect.
