Educational Services by the day or half-day on weekdays and during school terms. (1 to 2 children per day)
Educational day care (without accommodation) is designed for children aged 6 and over who are experiencing social, family or school difficulties, who have dropped out of school, or who are disabled or troubled.
It also provides support for those who look after the child on a daily basis (family assistants, institutions, homes, etc.).
Reception can be on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, in order to follow a development cycle and evaluate progress.
The aim is to help the child to improve his or her well-being, complementing overall care.
The farm and its natural surroundings offer children and adults a privileged place where they can listen and learn through activities involving animals, the vegetable garden and handicrafts.
Animal mediation
Animal mediation is a search for positive interactions between humans and animals.
Animal mediation promotes physical and psychological well-being, providing soothing and comforting reassurance.
The animal fosters a bond, a relationship with others, stimulates and awakens.
Mediation is open to all, from infants to the elderly.
Sessions can be held at La Motte farm or in your establishment.
Duration: 1h30 per session
