Our educational approach

  • IT/DE bilingualism — "one person, one language" method with native-speaker carers
  • Multilingualism — sensitivity to the home languages of Sinigo families (Arabic, Urdu, Romanian…)
  • Outdoor education — daily outdoor time in every season
  • 1:5 ratio — carer-to-child ratio required by PAB regulations
  • Quality meals — hot food, certified allergy management (HACCP)
  • Family app — daily digital journal, photos and multilingual messages

Gradual settling-in

Each new child follows a personalised settling-in period (usually 2–4 weeks), agreed with the family, to support a calm and secure adjustment to the new environment.
