WATER COURSES
Aquatics courses take place in our on-site swimming pool. Courses are dedicated to children from 3 months to 6 years old, not only for those enrolled in our Nursery & Kindergarten but also for other families keen to experiment the water element.
The goal is to get to a complete familiarization into the water, through a play-based experience which favors the psycho-motorial development.
Playing stimulates interest, curiosity, creativity and socialization as well as challenge, courage and all other important aspects for the children’s psycho-physical growth.
The skills/competencies meant to be acquired are:
- harmonious physical development;
- reliance on others, self confidence;
- interaction and integration between motorial, sensorial, cognitive and emotional functions.
NEONATAL AQUATICS

- self awareness;

- promotion of the attention and concentration;
- improvement of the coordination;
- development of a partial independence into the water.
