Maisons Relais (Childcare facilities)

A^- A⁺

The Differdange childcare centers operate in the mornings from 6:30 am to 8 am (morning reception) and outside school hours until 6:45 pm. The childcare facilities fulfill different functions, provide healthy and balanced meals and snacks for children. Socio-pedagogical activities are planned and carried out by the educational staff.

Each child attending school can only be enrolled in the maison relais of his or her residence, with the exception of the Lasauvage school sector. A maison relais is located in each of the Differdange school sections: Differdange-centre, Fousbann, Lasauvage, Niederkorn, Oberkorn and Woiwer.

Pedagogical concept

The child and his or her personality are at the heart of our daily action; that is why we respect each child as an individual in his or her own right.

We focus on the existing resources, talents, skills, interests and knowledge of the children entrusted to us, regardless of their age. We assume that faced with new challenges each child can develop his or her potential. This is why our childcare centers work according to the pedagogical concept “Welt-Atelier“.

Pedagogues are important caregivers for children, partners in the co-construction process and part of the network. It is the educator’s role to accompany the child with his or her professional knowledge.

Our structures comply with the Education Ministry’s regulations concerning non-formal education.

Our facilities are an inclusive space where everyone is welcomed with respect and dignity, and we are fully committed to promoting the integration and well-being of all.

SPODI sports project

The City of Differdange’s sports project for all the children of the Maison relais.

The project is a collaboration between the education department, the sports department of the City of Differdange and the local sports clubs. It will enable all children attending a Maison relais to take part in a sporting activity during the lunch break at the Maison relais.

The principle is simple: the sports department and the Maison relais, in collaboration with the local sports clubs, organise training sessions in the sports halls of the various school campuses during the Maison relais lunch break. The choice of sporting activity is up to each child, who can try out a different sport each day. It’s a win-win situation for all concerned: the children can practise their favourite sport and discover new disciplines, while the clubs are delighted to find potential new recruits.

How does it work? The sports sessions are divided into two blocks of 45 minutes each during the lunch break at the Maison relais. All children who are registered at the Maison relais during lunchtime can take part in the sessions. The child must register with the educator. Supervision is guaranteed by the Maison relais educators.
