In our quest to nurture the intellectual growth of the group, we introduce them to the captivating world of Norse mythology. These ancient tales serve not only as a source of entertainment but also as a vital tool for navigating the complexities associated with their age.


Norse myths provide a striking contrast to the monotheistic narratives found in the Old Testament. With their pantheon of gods and goddesses, each possessing human-like qualities and frailties, these stories allow children to explore themes of conflict, cooperation, and morality in a multifaceted way.

Our young learners delve into the fascinating world of symmetry, engaging in progressively complex forms that enhance both their physical and cognitive skills.
