The philosophy of KIDOLOISIRS

KIDOLOISIRS is part of an educational logic. All its action is carried by a single aim of development of the child. Everyone’s singularity is respected and living together is supported and developed.

The activities are quarterly. They allow each child to acquire and develop new knowledge, skills and attitudes. They stimulate children’s sensibilities and imaginations and allow them to express them.

The educational objectives of KIDOLOISIRS Ltd focus on the well-being of children, their active participation in the workshops and adaptation to community life. They are:

Develop the imagination:

– By allowing them to develop their creativity and their imagination through artistic, sporting and cultural activities.

– By setting up animation projects according to the needs of the children.

Promote development:

– By creating opportunities for meetings and exchanges between children.

– By putting the notion of pleasure at the center of activities.

– By ensuring physical and emotional security.

Allow appropriation:

– By gradually bringing the children to be independent and take ownership of the activities.

– By attaching particular and progressive importance to the child’s commitment.

The welcome in clubs and workshops is a place for sharing and experiencing community life. It leaves a place for each individuality while paying particular attention to the functioning of the group.

Allow each child to find their place in the group:

– By valuing everyone’s skills.

– By paying particular attention to the fight against discrimination and domination

– By offering a welcome, adapted to each person’s rhythm.

– By socializing the children through a community life favoring contacts and exchanges

– By allowing communication and exchange between different groups

– By opening the group to other audiences

– By making children participate in collective life

– By posting these rules and ensuring that they are accepted by all.

– By allowing them to appropriate the premises and their spaces

– By proposing times for dialogue and discussions aimed at identifying children’s requests and regulating possible dysfunctions.
