Holistic & Trilingual
Early Years Academy
About Us
IDKIDS has been specialising in early childhood education since 2000, providing support to over 50,000 children globally through 8 brands, including Oxybul and Jacadi. With 50 nurseries, the company offers a holistic and trilingual approach to enhance children’s social skills, confidence, agility, and prepare them to become global citizens. The programmes are delivered in multiple languages, with proven benefits including brain agility, better memory, and mental flexibility, increasing children’s chances of academic success. The objective is not just to prepare them for admission to schools but to develop them as confident, competent and well-rounded individuals.
Our Approach
Our approach is centered around the individual needs and development of each child, as well as their family’s unique circumstances and values. By creating a welcoming and personalised environment, our children are given the opportunity to explore, play, and grow at their own pace.
​
This approach is aligned with current research in child development, which emphasises the importance of providing children with opportunities for free play, exploration, and self-directed learning. By supporting children in their natural curiosity and creativity, we can help them develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
​
At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive community for both children and their families. By working together with parents and caregivers, we can provide the best possible care and education for each child, helping them to thrive and reach their full potential.
Our Pedagogy
At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we believe in offering the best quality education to your children. Our unique programmes are based on internationally-recognised and proven teaching approaches including Montessori, Reggio-Emilia, Freinet and Lóczy.
​
By integrating the key elements of these four teaching philosophies, Rigolo Comme La Vie believes that children can acquire knowledge meaningfully and develop holistically.
​
Our unique approach was created based on our experiences and observations in our crèches as well as current pedagogical studies in neuroscience and child development.

Our Values
Our approach to childcare is guided by our commitment to four core values: empathy, self-esteem, respect for time, and community. These values are at the heart of our educational intentions and guide our interactions with children, parents, and our team.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we prioritise empathy in our interactions with children, parents, and team members. We believe that empathy is crucial in developing positive relationships and creating a supportive and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.
​
​
Self-esteem is the value we place on our own worth and abilities. We believe that every child is unique and deserves to be valued and respected for who they are. At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we promote self-esteem by providing a safe and supportive environment where children can explore, learn, and develop their own sense of identity and self-worth.
​
​
Respect for time is about understanding the importance of time in a child’s development. We recognise that children need time to explore, play, and learn at their own pace. At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we prioritise respecting the individual needs of each child and create a schedule that allows for uninterrupted play and learning.
​
​
Community is the value we place on creating a supportive and inclusive community for our children and their families. We believe that every member of our community has a role to play in creating a positive and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. At Rigolo Comme La Vie, we prioritise building strong relationships with parents, team members, and our wider community to ensure that every child feels supported and valued.
