Principles of a LAEP
Exchanges
A LAEP promotes exchanges between adults. Its aim is to prevent or break the isolation of a number of families, whether geographical, social or cultural.
Games & Sharing
Games and activities help to foster relationships between adults and children. On the other hand, the main purpose of a LAEP is not to be an activity centre with a pre-established programme
During reception time the child is under the responsibility of the parent or accompanying adult..
