Kids have Fun in Cyprus: January 2014

Fun Factory the place where birthdays become sweet memories Larnaca

Hello everybody,

Fun Factory is a place where “Kids Fun in Cyprus” feels good every time we are going and now we had the opportunity to go again and discover a completely new playground under new management that we were ready to share with our little readers. We loved the new Fun Factory playground in Larnaka with all new games additions! It is spacious, big, and full of fun.

We like it because parents could sit at any table and still be able to watch their kids playing while drinking a cup of coffee! We love the interest that they are showing to the toddler’s area which is safe and plenty of interesting toys. All the employees that take care of children are qualified, love kids and are happy every time to entertain them.

The new Fun Factory playground brings lots of new games for children!

For children 4 years old to 12 years old there is a twisted blue slide and yellow rocket connected to the new spider game, many structures climbing, a big trampoline, a small basketball court where kids could practice their sportive skills, a new multitask game with lots of surprises and a slide.

For children 1 year old to 3 years old there is a ball pool the biggest pleasure of all toddlers a new kitchen to enjoy household chores, lots of drawing activities for everyone. It is a fantastic fun experience to run in a large and sunny space, up and down, form one side to the other, without having mum, looking for them every second.

Fun Factory also takes care of what children eat. Having its own kitchen, children and parents would definitely enjoy the new a la carte menu with a great variety of food to satisfy all tastes with a separate special menu for children. Some healthy choices that we will not forget to mention are chicken souvlaki, pork chop, salmon steak, and tuna wrap and goat cheese salad.

Upstairs it is another play area which can be entirely separated from one below creating a place only for your guests – the ideal private party.

Fun Factory is the perfect place for all children to spend their energy and enjoy a wonderful day playing, running and having fun with their friends!

The opening hours are just the best in the entire Cyprus as the playground is open early at 10:00 and closes very late. This is the best opportunity for mothers to let the kids play no matter of the weather conditions. If it is too sunny or too rainy the playground offers the perfect indoor conditions to play all day long!

One last thing that I like at this place is their outdoor terrace, elegant with a nice view ideal for a relaxing mum’s meeting!

So Fun Factory here we come! Thank you for the excellent service, quality, opening hours and prices!

Lots of sunny days from Izzy the Cypriot Lizard!

Pastos Restaurant elegance for parents, fun for kids - Limassol

Hello everybody,

We love restaurants with enclosed spaces for children to play... as what is the best thing in life, to enjoy a delicious meal with your family while also children are relaxed and have how to spend their time. At Pastos Tavern you can find a wonderful playground, big spaces, comfortable and cozy environment... and the best food in town !

Getting used now to search the best place for our readers we were more then happy arriving at Pastos Restaurant. I am telling you for sure that there are not many places like this one.

My first feeling was that I felt welcomed. I sat down at the table and enjoyed all the little things surrounding me. I looked around and I realized that I was just about to discover the perfect restaurant. Elegant, fancy, relaxing this were my first thoughts.

I was completely absorbed by the romantic fireplace in the middle of the restaurant until I've noticed that they also had a great playground! Completely surrounded and safe, with sea sour, climbing areas, slides,tunnels and lot of space to run, plenty of activity for my children while waiting for the food. A playground where little and bigger children can spend lots of energy!

Finally we could just stay inside, comfortable, cozy, looking at the fire, reading the menu (as there is a very long one!) watching the kids playing. We ordered the food and for the first time we were not watching the time wondering how we could eat faster. We love taking time to rejoice the beautiful surroundings and the happy kids running in the playground.

I’ve noticed also that the restaurant has a special place for dancing. That makes me feel very happy that I could find such a good place to recommend for any types of parties!

Do not ask about the food! Because it was delicious. Everything was fresh, tasty, appetizing. It was remarkably prepared to enjoy all our senses and tastes.

Having said this I recommend this restaurant with all my heart for birthdays, baptize or just daily meals especially for those of you searching for “the best place to go with your children”!

Lots of sunny days from Izzy the Cypriot Lizard!

If there is one main element that characterizes our cuisine, that is freshness. The other is the variety of dishes that you will find in our restaurant.

I Parea Ton Mikron Filon Paralimni

Click here for Greek Language

In our kindergarten, kids are smiling all the time as they are happy. We are proud that we can welcome our kids in large, beautiful classes, in a building specially designed for this purpose. In our kindergarten children learn every day something new, do gymnastics twice a week, play outside, sing and grow. Our kindergarten loves children and knows how to treat them to feel important. Our teachers have a smile for everyone, as they know that sometimes it is difficult to be little and leave your mummy at work. Our teachers knows how to cuddle, how to hug and how to show that they care. Because we care for your kids, we love them and we want to be part of their happy memories of childhood.
I Parea ton Mikron Filon is first of all a family that likes making every child feel welcome and loved!

Just as we value the education and development of young children, we have the same expectations for our teaching staff. Each teacher has a degree in Early Childhood Education (or similar field).

Greek language:

Το ιδιωτικό νηπιαγωγείο «Η Παρέα των μικρών φίλων» ιδρύθηκε το 1991 από την κ Κάτια Κατσιδιάρη. Το 2001 το σχολείο κτίστηκε με βάση τις ευρωπαϊκές προδιαγραφές και μεταφερθήκαμε στις καινούργιες μας εγκαταστάσεις. Σκοπός μας ήταν δημιουργία ενός υγιούς, ασφαλούς, ευχάριστου και φιλικού περιβάλλοντος προς τα παιδιά, κάνοντάς τα έτσι να νιώθουν το σχολείο σαν δεύτερό τους σπίτι.

Η πολύπλευρη ανάπτυξη του παιδιού τόσο στο γνωστικό, ψυχοκινητικό και συναισθηματικό τομέα, όπως επίσης η ομαλή προσαρμογή και κοινωνικοποίησή τους μέσα από την επικοινωνία και την επαφή τους με τα άλλα παιδιά, είναι οι βασικότεροι στόχοι μας. Υλοποίηση των στόχων αυτών γίνεται με την δημιουργία πρωτότυπων και παιγνιώδη δραστηριοτήτων που προκαλούν τα ενδιαφέρον τους και τα οδηγούν στο μονοπάτι της μάθησης.

Το πρόγραμμα του νηπιαγωγείου περιλαμβάνει μαθήματα που προάγουν τις προ-αναγνωστικές, πρo-μαθηματικές δεξιότητες και την κινητική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών. Διεξάγεται το μάθημα φυσικής αγωγής δύο φορές την εβδομάδα σε συνεργασία του προγράμματος ΑΓΟ, μουσικοκινητική αγωγή και ρυθμική, δραματοποίηση όπως επίσης και διάφορες παραστάσεις κουκλοθέατρου. Γίνονται συχνές βόλτες στην γειτονιά, μιας και το νηπιαγωγείο μας είναι κτισμένο σε αραιοκατοικημένη περιοχή, για να παρατηρήσουμε, να εξερευνήσουμε την φύση και να καταγράψουμε τις καιρικές αλλαγές. Επιπρόσθετα, είμαστε το μόνο ιδιωτικό νηπιαγωγείο της περιοχής που έχουμε εντάξει ένα πρωτοποριακό μέσο διδασκαλίας, τον διαδραστικό πίνακα, δίνοντας την ευκαιρία στα παιδιά να έχουν μια καλύτερη και ομαλότερη εκπαίδευση προωθώντας την επικοινωνία και αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ τους.

Αγκαλιάζουμε τα παιδιά μας με όλη μας την αγάπη και στοργή έχοντας άρτια καταρτισμένο προσωπικό που πλήρη όλες τις απαραίτητες προϋποθέσεις για την ασφαλή φροντίδα των παιδιών σας.

Μαθήματα γλώσσες: Η βασική γλώσσα ομιλίας είναι τα ελληνικά. Οι νηπιαγωγοί γνωρίζουν την ελληνική και αγγλική γλώσσα πολύ καλά και όποτε χρειαστεί μιλούν και τις δύο γλώσσες για να διευκολύνουν ιδιαίτερα τα παιδιά άλλων εθνικοτήτων.
