Le Cocon Family Day Care offers a unique approach and curriculum based on a combination of our own experience and the work philosophers, psychologists, paediatricians and scientists from around the world.
Bi-cultural
An important and unique characteristic of Le Cocon Family Day Care is immersion in French language and culture. Languages and cultures are much easier to learn earlier in life, and with more than a decade’s experience in introducing them to children, we can confidently say that there are enormous benefits to be had. Research also suggests that bi-lingualism and bi-culturalism present significant advantages including superior memory, mental flexibility, attention control, task switching, creativity and problem solving skills.
Autonomy & responsibilityWe encourage children to develop autonomy and to help each other to develop it. As a result, children gain a sense of ownership and pride, and are capable of finding amazing strategies to achieve their goals alone or in groups.

Nurturing & compassionAt Le Cocon Family Day Care, the children grow up under our love and care and the bonds that we create form a
strong foundation for their lives. Expression of feelings and emotions is actively encouraged. As a result, children develop a sense of respect and empathy towards each other. |
Mindfulness & self-controlGratitude and living in the present moment are two key focuses of Le Cocon Family Day Care. For children, this requires a great deal of self-control which we develop through trust and a range of tools including meditation.
|
NeutralitySimply put, we listen to the desires of the children in our care and respond accordingly, without any prejudice or pre-conceived ideas based on their gender, age, culture, background etc.
|
Holistic approachWe consider the child as an entire person and propose practical, hands-on activities in an environment that encourages play, observation and experience. We act as role models, present to activate the incredible potential of each child in any domain that they are interested in.
|
NatureAt Le Cocon Family Day Care, we spend as much time as possible outside exploring the natural world. This includes gardening and generally enjoying life’s many wonders. We also gather together with our families to celebrate the beginning of new seasons.

We are passionate learners and, as a result, our knowledge and personal philosophy will continue to evolve with your child
