SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION
A bridge between research and practice
Neuroscience shows that children’s cognitive and socio-emotional development from ages 0 to 6 is crucial, as 85% of brain connections form during this period. The growth of executive functions strongly depends on early secure attachment and the development of self-confidence.
To address these challenges, Babilou Family has created a shared educational framework across its ten countries. Its Sustainable Education® approach is based on recent scientific insights and structured around six key pillars.
6 PILLARS
Globally, the six pillars serve as universal standards that meet the needs of young children in group settings. Sustainable Education® applies to everyone, combining educational action for children and support for parents. Locally, each country and each center adapts the six pillars through diverse practices that align with regulations, cultures, and the specific needs of families.
Sustainable Education is not uniformization, but a global framework to provide the best for each child.
