Four years ago, La Maison des Filous became the first daycare in Mauritius to introduce a pedagogical farm within a school setting — and what an incredible journey it has been.
Since then, our little farm has brought immense benefits to our toddlers’ development:
- Emotional Growth: Caring for animals and plants helps children develop empathy, patience, and a sense of responsibility.
- Sensory & Fine Motor Skills: Activities like handling soil, feeding animals, and watering plants enhance coordination and tactile exploration.
- Cognitive Development: Through hands-on experiences, children learn about lifecycles, cause and effect, and environmental awareness.
- Connection to Nature: The farm allows children to slow down, disconnect from screens, and build a deeper relationship with the natural world.
- Self-Regulation: Time spent in nature and around animals supports emotional balance and calm behavior.
And much more..
More than just a farm, it is a living classroom where young minds grow and thrive.
