Greek lessons:
At the Elles Belles Ormond campus, we have introduced the Greek culture to you and your children through literacy and numeracy as well as music, food, and language. These lessons will take place in the classrooms to support the children’s awareness of this historical culture.
Cooking classes:
Our cooking classes are hands-on, teaching children about measuring, stirring, pouring, and assisting in developing early science and mathematical concepts. To promote health and nutrition our organic fruit and vegetable garden is used in conjunction with these experiences. Teaching children the cycle of life. The best part is the sense of achievement when they get to eat their delicious creation.

At Elles Belles, we promote the children’s connection to the natural environment through a voluntary outdoor sleeping program. This is a great opportunity that focuses on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of each child as well as improved immunity through exposure to fresh air.
Fitness and movement:
At the Elles Belles Ormond campus, we have a fitness and movement program that enables the children to take considered risks in their play through the indoor and outdoor environment. This is a fun and enthusiastic extracurricular activity that promotes the children’s gross motor skills and social interactions through laughter and team experiences. We will incorporate a variety of music and movement opportunities enabling the children to develop conscious awareness of their body positioning and explore a range of motions, flexibility, strength, and coordination.
Art Lessons:
Through our creative art studio, the children learn through a Reggio Emilia-inspired environment. We conduct open-ended art lessons that promote children’s imagination and creativity through the expression of art. We believe children are the founders of their own learning and are encouraged to construct their own learning through play and creativity, which is a respected pathway of learning.
