ABOUT US

Early childhood, a center of common interest which brought Nicolas and Nadège together. Their ambition around education and the contribution to young children made it possible to give birth to a small institution which has grown into a big one ... After years of reflection in the field and experience, La Petite Ecole Les Tulipiers is today the subtle fruit of a place of learning and benevolence that helps each child develop in preschool.

In 2024, after years of sharing and learning with children and their families, Nadège and Nicolas decided to pass the baton to Krenare Tissot, to invest in new projects.

This place is permeated with specialists in early childhood from 0 to 5 years old. This institution is private and French-speaking and has chosen to welcome children from 2 to 5 years old in restricted hours. The operating permit was issued by the SASAJ (Day care authorization and monitoring service) and the place remains in close collaboration with this service.

pedagogy

A SCHOOL IS ABOVE ALL A MATTER OF PEDAGOGY.

WITH US, IT IS ABOUT AN ACTIVE AND DIFFERENTIATED PEDAGOGY! THE CHILD IS THE ACTOR OF HIS LEARNING THROUGH REFLECTION, CONSTRUCTION, PLAY, WHILE ARTICULATING GROUP ACTIVITIES AND INDIVIDUALIZED WORK.

The Educator

Not a master, not an instructor, a guide whose mission is to set up and facilitate learning. He is personally involved in providing knowledge.

 

It is through his sharing, his curiosity, his desire, that children follow him on the paths of discovery and wonder. The important thing is to give the child access to the pleasure of understanding.

By respecting the individuality and the rhythm of each one because each child is unique and advances at his own rate of development, it is essential to take time for each one, to adapt to his sensitivity, to his capacities.

asset%20web%201_edited.png

A game to play, to reassure yourself, to have fun. But also the game that gives meaning that is created through interactions with peers and with the educator. Play is the child's job.

MEANS

To learn in groups and individually, precise operating rules are needed.
Thanks to a structured framework and rituals that give children daily reference points. In order to be amazed, interested, understand, think, grow, they need themes that give meaning to the year and that are declined by month, week, day, which pushes to grow and to emancipate.

a day's schedule

To think of "learning activities" it seems undeniable to us to include them in an ordinary day which respects the rhythm of the young child. This is why meals, treatments and moments of rest are an integral part of a day at La Petite Ecole Les Tulipiers. They are reflected as key moments. Sharing a meal together and observing what you eat IS an activity in itself.

The schedule of our short day is therefore ideal for a good capacity to receive learning

TEAM WORK

Thinking that nothing has an impact on children is obviously wrong because the adult that we are stems from the child that we have been. We are very vigilant to the adult-child interactions of our team members.

La Petite Ecole Les Tulipiers is constantly training adults for a course or a professional project. Beside this, committed professional people have a benevolent educational attitude to hold in order

to be able to put our pedagogy into practice.

Professionals are constantly evolving (conferences, training, interviews, projects). To carry out our educational project, we have acquired a number of supervisory staff above current standards.

« The child is not built FOR the adult but BY the adult »

Active for more than seventeen years in the field of early childhood and graduated from the Geneva School of Educators in 2014, Krenare has accumulated a wealth of experience in various public institutions. Passionate and determined, she has always sought to promote an educational approach centered on the development and respect of the child. As part of her training, she met Nadège and Nicolas, the creators of the Petite École des Tulipiers, and worked alongside them for some time. In 2024, Krenare takes a new turn in its career by taking over the structure of Nadège and Nicolas, a place already well established and recognized for its unique and respectful approach to the identity of each child. Krenare sees this acquisition not only as an opportunity to pursue this vision, but also to bring his personal touch and educational values ​​to it. Convinced that the child's interest and pleasure, nourished by the enthusiasm and commitment of the educator, are powerful engines of learning, Krenare makes a point of continuing the work of the creators of this wonderful place by developing a rich and stimulating environment where the child learns through play, with pleasure and in contact with others, and where everything is designed so that each child can develop their creative predispositions and their self-esteem. She also works to ensure that the Petite École des Tulipiers is a training space for future professionals, where adults develop their availability and their ability to create a caring and enriching environment. Thanks to this vision, Krenare aspires to make this establishment a reference in early childhood education, where each individual, whether child or adult, finds the necessary resources to fully flourish.

In order to have a positive impact on group dynamics, it took several years and experiences for the duo to find the right schedule for such a particular location. Short days, which contain all the necessary elements without exhausting the children, allow for cohesion in the groups that grow together and therefore teachings that are more easily transmitted. The Wednesday break allows the children to be in their family environment and to recharge their batteries.
