Our Educational Programs
"Every child has genius within them; the key is to bring it out." - Charlie Chaplin Beyond just childcare, we offer a wide range of activities tailored to your child's needs. We view each child as a competent individual capable of making decisions. Participation in activities is on a voluntary basis, with the privilege of being supported by their dedicated educator. Our "Butzemobiles" allow us to introduce children to the outside world by offering a variety of outings and activities. Excursions are regularly organized: discovering a local market, attending a theater play, visiting a theme park, playground, taking a walk in the forest, going to the pool, picnicking, and much more. These activities are offered at no additional cost to parents.
Our celebrations
Celebration day
The last Thursday of each month, each facility organizes a small party to celebrate the birthdays of the children and educators born during that month. On this day, the children prepare cakes and we offer a pizza menu.
Kleeschen – Saint Nicholas
Each year, Saint Nicholas visits our facilities. He brings a little surprise for all our Butzen. We invite all families to this event to spend a pleasant time sharing together around a snack.
Butzefest
During the summer, we organize the “Butzefest.” It is an opportunity to meet the children and their families in a different setting. When the children from the daycare start school, it is also a chance to say goodbye to them. Each child receives school supplies that will be useful at school. This is our way of marking the transition to the path of school.
And many others…
Each of our facilities regularly celebrates other events. These are celebrated and implemented based on the observed needs and requests of the children.

We invite you to share your suggestions with our educational staff. Together we will make your desires and projects a reality.
Our Creative Discoveries
Every child is an artist: we ensure that we provide them an environment in which they can express themselves, imagine, create, and build their world to develop their identity.
Our motor and body discovery
Our spaces are designed to support the child’s motor skills: modules, courses, climbing wall, manipulation areas, relaxations, discovery of body schema… We offer various activities allowing each child to become aware of their body and the place it occupies in space. Thus, outings to the swimming pool, climbing club, and many others are regularly offered so that everyone gradually evolves in acquiring their own body schema.
Our Multilingual Discovery
We place particular importance on language learning. Children are involved in a multilingual environment on a daily basis through games, activities, readings, nursery rhymes… We ensure that the children’s mother tongues are valued and given a place in their daily lives.
Our rituals
In our nurseries and daycares, our rituals help to structure the children’s day and anticipate its transitions. Whether it be during the welcome, mealtime, an activity, or a group change, the children are supported. Our rituals provide the children with a point of reference, a sense of security and trust, and they develop autonomy as well as an understanding of time.
Our Scientific Discoveries
To support children in their exploration and understanding of the world, we regularly invite them to discover nature. We accompany them in their daily learning and experiences. They have the opportunity to experiment with mathematical, natural, and technical phenomena in a playful and spontaneous way.
Our support for socialization
Children are supported in building their identity. Through a rich environment and caring interactions, the child develops their socialization.
