Our learning approach will encourage this natural curiosity and sense of exploration with clear, purposeful play-based activities.

Nursery Section La Nouvelle École offers a bilingual school section for 2-year-olds, providing a quality alternative to the crèche system. This stable and reassuring educational approach enables toddlers to gain confidence and autonomy, easing their transition to Kindergarten. Here, children learn the basics of living together and the foundations of academic learning, as well as practising English daily from an early age. Places are available all year round, so children can be welcomed from the age of 2 in our bilingual school in Geneva. Start early for success Experimental research in educational neuroscience shows that the level of oral language in the Early Years Foundation Stage is the best predictor of academic success in primary school as well as the best predictor of a child’s progress in learning. Stimulating children’s oral language skills in the early grades is a significant advantage for their future learning in all areas (Literacy, Mathematics, Science, etc.). Our nursery is a stimulating, dynamic setting where each child is unique and is encouraged to reach their full potential and develop with confidence and independence. In our bilingual nursery, the day is structured around the needs of the child. The classroom is safe and welcoming and provides endless opportunities to explore and learn.
