Play. Learn. Grow.
The new program dedicated to clients in the Stejarii universe aims to explore areas such as painting, acting, debate, arts & crafts, chemistry, and emotional development. It is addressed to children aged 5 to 12 years old. Access is free for children of Stejarii Residential clients and Stejarii Country Club members, based on availability and prior registration.

Now is the perfect time to offer your children the best growth tools – through play, science, art, and emotion.
Gabriela Maalouf, an integrative psychotherapist and author, is the coordinator of the project. The workshops are led by experts from various fields, designed to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and self-confidence.
The project will begin with a launch session dedicated to parents, during which Gabriela Maalouf will present the stages of psychological and cognitive development in children, as well as the emotional and social needs specific to each age group.
Parent launch session: May 24th, at 10:30 AM, in Stejarii IV Studio, located on the first floor of Stejarii Country Club.
