📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Colours Daycare by Cynthia (Colours) was established in 2021 as a bilingual (English and Greek) progressive nursery school aimed at developing and nurturing the mind, body, and soul of children of different backgrounds aged 0 to 3 in a growth-facilitating, inclusive, and safe environment. Colours team comprises loving early childhood educators with diverse backgrounds committed to the principle that learning is an adventure that begins at birth. Colours has created play-based indoor and outdoor learning environments encouraging children to explore, discover and appreciate the world's diversity and wonders. A significant focus of the school is on fostering healthy socioemotional development, rich language and physical growth, cognitive development, and self-help skills through play-based learning.This is achieved through indoor-outdoor sensory integration play, role play, circle time, storytelling/puppet show, and experiential music classes offered by Colours team and other collaborating professionals. Understanding the cruciality of continuing learning and training for educators to ensure that they are equipped with the latest knowledge, tools, and skills to provide the best possible learning experiences for children and support their overall development, Colours constantly organises and engages its staff in a series of training. Among the staff are young volunteers and trainees wishing to gain field experience and cultivate their competencies in the early childhood field.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
