Nou fin egzamine yon gwoup timoun ki mayifik e nou chwazi pami yo nou panse ki pral jwe wòl modèl ki pi apwopriye. Nou egzamine timoun yo baze sou ladrès entèraksyon sosyal, lang ak konpòtman. Malerezman, nou limite nan kantite espas nou genyen e nou pa rive chwazi pitit ou a nan moman sa a pou ane lekòl 2015-2016 la. Si w enterese pou pitit ou a nan pwogram nou an pou ane lekòl 20162017 la, e pitit ou a pap elijib pou jadendanfan, silvouplè kontakte biwo a apre sét avril 2016. N ap kontakte w lè nou kòmanse pwosesis entèvyou a ane pwochèn. Yon fwa ankò, mèsi paske ou enterese nan pwogram nou an. Sensèman, Direktè (tris)
