• Nursery “Les P’tits Mouzets” Montvalezan:

Located in the resort of la Rosière, Les P’tits Mouzets opened its doors on 2nd December 2013. Built by the community and managed by the “Centre Communal d ‘Action Sociale” (CCAS) of Montvalezan. Today the nursery accommodates 32 children, who come from the commune of Montvalezan and other local communities, currently from Seez and St Foy.Opening hours during the winter period are adapted to the needs of parents who work non-standard hours. The quality of the nursery is extended by an educational project based on the well-being, development and respect of the individuality of each child.
Every day, the little ones can let off steam in various fun workshops offering lots of opportunities for creation and experimentation, such as art, cooking, theatre, body language workshops or musical discovery. We welcome all children from French-English families, as we have adopted a bilingual approach, through fun workshops to discover the English language. These workshops allow children to learn the language gradually and to stimulate linguistic development in children who are already bilingual.
