Early learning and socialisation workshop before preschool

Our Workshop: Les Comptines

We welcome children from 18 months to 4 years old who are not yet attending school in a calm and stimulating environment, through half-day sessions in Manosque. This comforting environment encourages their development, social skills and gives them a first experience of life in a group situation, while supporting parents during their children’s first separations before starting preschool.
We offer a wide range of age-appropriate activities: sensory development, motor skills, arts and crafts, nature and gardening. Our qualified professional team ensures the well-being, creativity and development of each child.

Personalised settling-in sessions are organised with families to ensure a smooth transition in safe, welcoming spaces designed to stimulate early learning and the joy of exploration.

A team of professionals

Qualified, passionate and attentive to every child's well-being.

Getting ready for school

We are here to gently guide you and your child through these first separations.

Activities for exploring

A space designed for young children

Warm, safe and stimulating. A place where children feel happy and surrounded by others.

What parents say

“We particularly appreciate Les Comptines. The staff are cheerful, attentive and caring. They put their heart and soul into welcoming the children in a warm and supportive environment. The centre is also a very pleasant and light-filled space, with its large windows and garden. Here, there are no ‘plastic’ toys, but rather upcycled items and plenty of creativity, which make this place so unique.”

Attended from 2024 to 2026, aged 2 to 3
“This association is a real joy for our daughter, who loves playing in this magical place. Thanks to the staff, who are always kind and caring, she has learnt a great deal and is thriving in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The shared snack times add a touch of conviviality, making every visit even more special!”
