At La Garderie, We Let Children Grow Through Play

“It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality.”— D.W. Winnicott, Playing and Reality (1971)

At La Garderie, we believe that play is the heart of early childhood. That’s why we created a nursery where play isn’t just encouraged, it’s central to everything we do.

Children naturally move between reality and imagination. Whether they're cuddling a teddy bear or banging a drum, these small moments are big steps in their development. Through play, children explore their emotions, learn about their bodies, and begin to understand the world around them. It’s not just fun, it’s how they grow.

Every week, we offer a variety of activities tailored to each age group, giving children the chance to move, create, imagine, and connect with others. We’ve even designed special spaces just for that:

• A large Play room, for free movement and big activities in addition the sections rooms.

• A Snoezelen room, created to provide calming, sensory-rich experiences (more on that soon!)

  
  

We also care deeply about working closely with parents. With the help of digital tools, families stay connected to their child’s day, whether it’s a new milestone, a little drawing, or just a moment of joy. Together, we build a shared experience around the child’s growth.

What truly makes La Garderie special is our attention to each child as an individual. No two children are the same, and we honour that by adapting our approach to their needs, interests, and rhythms. Our goal is to support every child’s unique path and help them feel seen, safe, and ready to flourish.

La Garderie, part of the Solika Nurseries family, is more than a place to play. It’s a space where childhood is celebrated, curiosity is nurtured, and children grow into confident little people, ready to take on the world.
