Preschool - Kindergarten
With you, they were "coddled."
With us, they learn how to fly!
Our embrace is as warm as yours. Here, they will be nurtured just as they were with you. But here, they will also learn to fly.
At "RODION PAIDEIA" school, we offer a tender embrace that carefully guides each child's steps, respecting their individual pace and fostering their confidence and independence.
Here, we strengthen their wings so that, in a few years, they will be ready to fly into the open horizon of life, no matter the weather.
An Open Embrace for All Children!
Our kindergarten is a safe space with open walls for exploration and a stimulating environment. It is an open embrace for all children!
Our kindergarten is a colorful space that allows children and parents to express themselves and engage with love, acceptance, care, and safety. μέσα του, με αγάπη, αποδοχή, φροντίδα και ασφάλεια.
Play, teamwork, exploration, and new technologies guide children toward the future, making learning a beautiful journey they'll never want to end.
Autonomy is crucial for children to feel confident, encouraging them to try, experiment, and even fail, knowing that in the end, they will succeed. They understand that life’s path isn’t only filled with successes.
They also learn that every being on this planet is important, including themselves, and that the mark they leave should be as gentle as a caress. They recognize the significance of the environment and know that with small steps, they can achieve great things. Optimism, not fear, guides their steps.
Each child learns at their own pace, and we are always there, ready to provide the keys that will unlock the doors to knowledge.
Why Our Kindergarten Stands Out…
The Preschool is the first step in socialization, marking the transition of a child from the familiar and protected environment of home to the unknown. Our Preschool and Kindergarten Curriculum, centered on the child, provides activities that are developmentally appropriate, based on exploration and play.
We support children's efforts for active participation, offering opportunities to question, explore, experiment, and draw conclusions about issues related to the natural and social environment.
Our young students discover their interactions with the environment, the emotions and ideas of others, make their first friends, form groups, and find their place within them. They learn good manners, develop good habits, and understand the value of sharing. They evolve through play, imagination, and creativity. They begin to make decisions and take on responsibilities.
All sciences are harmoniously integrated, creating a natural continuity that helps children maintain their intellectual curiosity and view knowledge as a meaningful whole. This approach enhances their initiative, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. In this school, we help children express their emotions, thereby building empathy.
Play, group activities, exploration, and new technologies guide children’s steps into the future, making knowledge a beautiful journey they will never want to end.
Autonomy is essential for children to feel confident and unafraid to experiment. Even if they fail, they understand that, in the end, they will succeed.
Everyone learns at their own pace and in their own time. We are always there, providing the keys that will unlock the doors to knowledge.
How Do We Teach?
We Discover the World Through Play and Exploration.
Expanded Educational Programs
At our kindergarten, the program is rich and diverse, offering children a comprehensive educational experience. Children are introduced to technology, water activities, dance, physical education, music theory, theater, health education, science activities (STEM), psychomotor development, cooking, and they participate in many educational field trips outside of school. All of these activities are led by specialized educators who dedicate their time and expertise to nurturing the skills and talents of the children.
Our wonderful kindergarten teachers, with their love and dedication, create an environment where children feel safe and are encouraged to explore the world around them.

Additional Activities
After the completion of the mandatory program, additional activities are available from 13:15 to 14:30.
School Readiness Assessment (Alpha Test)
We conduct a School Readiness Assessment for our kindergarten children. We are certified partners of the A' School Readiness Test. Through student learning assessments and the implementation of targeted intervention programs, we prepare children for a successful educational journey.
Our approach focuses on early diagnosis and effective management of learning difficulties, creating a fertile learning environment.
We help students discover how they perceive and process cognitive information and adopt personalized study techniques based on their learning profile, replacing time-consuming, ineffective, and strenuous study methods.
Developmental Evaluation of Preschoolers
In our kindergarten, we place great emphasis on the developmental evaluation of preschoolers through daily observation of their behavior.
We also conduct regular afternoon parent-teacher meetings to maintain ongoing communication regarding the children's progress and to strengthen trust relationships.
The Descriptive Evaluation of each child is completed in October and shared with parents in February and June. This way, parents can track their child's development through specific goals.
Our kindergarten collaborates with the first grades of the Elementary School through various activities and visits, ensuring a natural and stress-free transition for the children to the next educational level.
Parents are informed about their children's progress through regular afternoon meetings and online via e-Meeting, which allows scheduling appointments with teachers during school hours.
Achievements
Our kindergarten students excel in various areas, such as artistic activities, music and dance events, and participation in local and international educational programs. They also participate in creative exhibitions, performances, and activities that promote skill development.
Learning and Innovation
In our kindergarten, we promote a love of learning from an early age by incorporating technological applications that enhance creativity and critical thinking. As a Microsoft Showcase School, we implement 21st Century Learning Design and organize various events, offering children an enriched and dynamic learning environment.
Facilities
Our well-equipped classrooms, safe playground, and sports facilities provide an environment that encourages creative and physical development for children in kindergarten. We adopt strict safety and hygiene measures, ensuring an accessible environment for all.
