Open-minded attitude toward the world outside: Speaking more than one language communicates tolerance and an open-minded attitude toward other opinions and the world outside. Le Jardin encourages the involvement of different generations and of integrative children.
Conscientious living in and with nature: Each of our facilities has its own garden. Excursions to nearby parks and woodlands are organized on a regular basis.
