Since its creation, the association’s objective has always been to help these children deprived of families to live a better life, making sure to give them:
- first: decent accommodation and essential care for a good physical development
- secondly and very rapidly afterwards: the attention, psycho sensorial stimulation and education that every child needs.
Improvements in the last areas have been progressive but have been considerable in the last 25 years!
With passing years, we have progressively :
- installed developmental material, indoors and outdoors
- equipped rooms for psychomotor development (in both our centres)
- multiplied educational and fun activities : walks in the forest, pony rides, visits to the market, lunch in a well known fast food restaurant, etc . In short, the activities that all children dream of !
A more qualified team
For some years now, our childcare assistants are regularly trained by ATFALE (Association de travail dans la Formation et l’Action pour l’Enfance) . We count on the most experienced among them to pass on their knowledge to our new recruits. Our childcare assistants take their mission very seriously and we are very proud of their loyalty because they are the role models for the children in our centres. They are present daily, not only to feed, dress, wash and care for the children ; but also, to suggest games, read stories or provide comfort when they feel sad.
In the summer, we multiply our outings in a “holiday spirit”. Everyday, our children go out, in groups of 15, to the beach, to an equestrian farm, to the forest... And , we are also proud to be able to propose, every summer (thanks to the OCP) "real vacations" to the older children; 10 to 15 days in a Resort Hotel in Morocco (Agadir, Marrakech, or Essaouira ). Unforgettable moments for the 15 children who participate!
