daycare centre l’île aux mômes – Vésenaz 2

The intercommunal daycare centre l’île pop e poppa l’île Vésenaz 2 is located opposite the church in the commune of Collonge-Bellerive. It is housed in a protected building emblematic of the commune. This institution benefits from a public-private partnership with the Groupement intercommunal de la petite enfance de Cohéran & Co (GIPEC) of the communes of Anières, Collonge-Bellerive, Corsier and Hermance.

The founding values of the pedagogical project are respect, benevolence, trust, pleasure and freedom.

The daycare centre offers multi-age group care. One of the main objectives of this type of care is to ensure emotional security for the child, who will evolve within the same group throughout his or her experience in the institution.

Children learn through observation and imitation, and growing up alongside children at different stages of development undeniably enriches each child’s environment and experiences.

The project is based on various currents of active pedagogy. If active pedagogy could be summed up in a few words, it would be “learning by doing”. It places children, known as learners, at the heart of the learning process, with the aim of increasing their motivation and fostering lasting learning.

The themes addressed by active pedagogy and by the crèche are: the importance of sensory awareness, living together, interest in the child, respect for his or her development, nature and experience.
