Kindergarten
At the core of the kindergarten educational program - but also in all age levels in Palataki - is the initiation in the search for knowledge and its connection with positive experiences.
With Children as Guides
We take care to respond to children’s interests by devoting as many minutes, hours, days, or weeks they need so that we can satisfy their curiosity. "What is the use of metal lids on the streets?", "How are clothes made?", "How does a worm see? Thus, we keep their interest undiminished and we become participants in the quest in the most exciting way!
Daily English Lessons
The children in Palataki interact with the English language from a very young age. Language learning is enacted in a smooth way, through constant encouragement for communication and free from worries concerning the form of the child’s phrases and sentences. We use our textbook, read fairy tales and learn in a playful, but also complete way, mastering our first vocabulary.A School Outside the School
Very often, we take the lesson out of the classroom. From the nearby forest to the museums of Athens and from the theaters at the town’s center, to the greengrocer of the neighborhood, we constantly find ourselves in new places and environments.
Psychosocial support program
Collaboration with a child psychologist on a weekly basis. Examination by a pediatrician on a monthly basis. Speech therapy assessments on a quarterly basis.
Educational Program
In preparation for elementary school letters and numbers abound while free and structured play, exploration, dramatization, construction, contact with nature and any means that ensures self-action, freedom and spontaneity gain increasing significance. At the same time, in kindergarten we invest in encouraging the interaction of children with the social environment, responding to the tradition of progressive pedagogy.
English, Music, Workshops and Elective Courses
The weekly program includes daily English lessons, music training, art workshops, cooking, robotics, gardening, forest schooling, chemistry, etc. Ballet, Toy Sports, Zumba and Tae Kwon Do are offered as elective courses. Elective courses Ballet / Zumba / Tae Kwon Do / Toy Sports

Fresh Ideas
Before the start of each new school year, the curriculum of all departments is either radically revised or redesigned from scratch. At the core of this practice is the school's need to constantly renew its contact with the space and time in which it operates, so that it never lags behind but remains in a fruitful dialogue with the "here" and "now" of the social environment and modern pedagogical becoming.
Music Lessons
The school curriculum is based on children's spontaneous musical instincts and gradually introduces them to the forms, rules and the toolbox of the art of music, using sound, dance, movement, play and a variety of musical instruments.Different People for Different Jobs
Each activity mentioned in our school curriculum is carried out by a person trained in the appropriate specialty. There’s always another person for Music, another for English, another for Toy Sports, another for Ballet, etc. Thus, apart from the kindergarten teacher and the assistants, the children come in contact with a multitude of other experts, each in his/her own field.
