About Me

Chameleon Club offers childcare where nature, art and play is in the centre of the education. Children are welcome to learn in a family atmosphere and develop without pressure. Natural materials, toys and resources help them flourish their creativity and growth.
The mixed age group enables children to learn from each other and acquire social skills through imitation and experience. With plenty of time to play, children can engage in activities on a deeper level and feel the joy of their own discoveries. Calm and loving guidance is given, however children are free to explore in a safe environment.

Children thrive in a safe and stimulating setting that promotes independence and diverse learning experiences. The environment is nurturing, with well-planned activities contributing to overall development. Language skills and healthy lifestyles are prioritized, alongside support for understanding diversity.
