Who we are

The Day Care Center "SER CRIANÇA" is a dream come true for us. Located in the peaceful heart of Jardins da Parede, our center offers a sanctuary where children can simply be. We provide a high-quality service for parents who seek the peace of mind that comes from knowing their little ones are in the safest, most loving hands every morning.

Our facilities are more than just beautiful; they are fully compliant with all Social Security regulations, ensuring a secure and superior environment. This project was built on a foundation of love and dedication, led by a Pedagogical Team committed to the harmonious growth of every child.
​
Everyone is looking for a place to store their dreams. We have found ours: It's here!

The Day Care Center
We have transformed a traditional villa into an innovative learning space, equipped with high-quality educational and motor-skill materials tailored to each age group.

  • Nurturing Interiors:
    • Nursery & Baby Room: A serene environment for our youngest ones, including a dedicated milk preparation room.
    • Developmental Classrooms: Spacious rooms (1st, 2nd, and 3rd "Parks") designed for exploration and play.
    • Healthy Routines: A dedicated dining room for calm, shift-based meals, and a professional kitchen.
    • Safety & Accessibility: Fully adapted facilities, including an elevator for mobility needs and specialized hygiene areas for children.
 
  • The Magic of the Outdoors: We believe children need nature to thrive. Our outdoor area includes a Playground with safety (tartan) flooring for worry-free play and a garden filled with fruit trees and shrubs, allowing daily contact with the natural world.



Curricular Activities
Our curriculum is designed to support the "whole child" - socially, emotionally, and physically. In addition to daily pedagogical care, we offer:

  • Musical Expression (Nursery to 3rd Park)
The Benefit: Music is the language of affection. Through songs, instruments, and movement, we help children organize their inner world and develop memory and coordination.

  • Kids' Yoga (2nd & 3rd Park)
The Benefit: A precious tool for self-regulation and focus. Through playful poses and breathing exercises, children learn to find their "center" and calm their nervous system.

  • Psychomotricity & Creative Dance (1st, 2nd & 3rd Park) 
The Benefit: The body is the primary vehicle for learning. These sessions encourage body awareness, balance, and the joy of expressing emotions through movement.

  • English (2nd & 3rd Park)
The Benefit: A gentle, natural introduction to a new language. Through games, rhymes, and visual aids, we spark curiosity and mental agility without any academic pressure.
