WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER

Qualified support services to give your child the best possible start in life.

We can arrange a meeting at your home or at another location of your choice in the greater Attica area.

The meeting can be in Greek or English and usually lasts 90-120 minutes.

 

Online meetings

We can arrange an online meeting via a secure platform (e.g. Viber, WhatsApp, Skype).
