The nursery also seeks to promote the development of physical, emotional, cognitive and social skills in line with the principles of elementary and secondary education. The curriculum is delineated by the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs and is developed by the head of unit in cooperation with the staff.

The crèche and nursery school are committed to children's rights laid down by national and European legislation, in particular under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
