We support the Nordic Approach at our centre. Children are natural communicators and should be encouraged to express themselves in anyway they want. They are also collaborators and can learn through interaction within their communities. In addition, we think that the more opportunities we provide them, the stronger their motivations will be and the richer their experiences will be.

Supporting the Nordic approach in our childcare center refers to a philosophy of early childhood education that emphasizes play-based learning, a strong relationship between the child and caregiver, and a supportive and respectful environment. This approach places a strong emphasis on the individual needs and interests of each child and seeks to promote their social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development through play and exploration. It is commonly used in childcare centers in Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden, Iceland, and Norway, and has become popular in other parts of the world as well.

Childcare is important for children as it helps reach important developmental milestones.

Children may forget what you tell them but they will never forget how we made them feel, so let’s devote ample time to them with lots of love, patience & care.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than listen, assist and help parents through the process to enrol their little ones to start their first journey within our centres.

My name is Jemma, I am 36 years old and have been a manager of L‘Ecole Qormi for 3 years now. I have 18 years experience working with children aged from 3 months to 3 years old.

The importance of being a childcare manager is first and foremost to deliver and ensure a high standard of learning development and care for the children. A manager has to ensure that the childcare service is up to standards, operating smoothly and to be responsive to the needs of the parents, children and the staff.

In each L‘Ecole Childcare Centre, we have an extremely dedicated team of qualified child carers that are always willing to go the extra mile for the sake of the children. At L’Ecole, we emphasize on teamwork, where we all work together towards the same goal and implement the importance of teamwork on our children. We believe in unstructured activities and learn through play to entertain and educate our children that are in our care. Each of our centres is original and different from each other, each with its own special characteristics. Our children enjoy their day at L’Ecole and feel like happy and secure. Health and safety of the children and our carers is a top priority at L’Ecole Childcare Centres.

We Strive to offer the best quality childcare service to all the kids in our care. My prime directive is to have unique teams of early childhood educators that give the best care possible to all the children attending our Centres.

While I have an amazing team of early childhood educators & managers by my side, I always remind them that there is always room for learning more to enhance their skills. I make sure that all our teams are well trained and focused enough to adhere to every child’s individual interests and needs at all times.

Nonetheless It is my pleasure watching our little ones learn through play at a pace that is right for each of them individually. I emphasize that childhood is not some kind of race or competition to compare one’s child abilities to another.

I believe that it’s One Little Win at a time! And why do I call it one little win? As every milestone is like a major accomplishment for each child’s development, and that’s definitely a win for them and in the way they picture their world to be. That’s when I feel amazed, having the opportunity to watch each child’s milestone happening at their own pace. Play is the key to show the success of what they’re actually learning through expressing themselves in beautiful different ways of their own whilst exploring and learning through playtime.

Something I find very important in my job is praising. I praise all my staff & children in our care for trying their best! This will infuse them with motivation to keep moving forward to obtain great results in anything they try & do.
