Paediatric Office
We’re excited to provide specialized pediatric services that prioritize the health and happiness of our community's little ones!
The Paediatric Office on Spetses Island was opened in October 2023 with the generous support of donors and friends of CTS.
We are deeply grateful for their contributions and the impact they have made.
The CTS has committed to offering a 50% discount on services to children on Spetses Island. Your support is integral to ensuring the smooth operation of the clinic.
We hope that you will join us in supporting our efforts to provide a safe and caring environment for the children of Spetses.

EDUCATION
Music Education Workshops by M.A.A.K.S.S. 2024-2025
Music & Movement Workshop
The following groups are available:
-
Infants from 18 months to 3 years old with their caregivers
-
Children from 3.5 to 11 years old
-
Individuals with atypical development and their caregivers
We warmly welcome our youngest participants to explore structured and free movement, develop spatial awareness and body coordination, integrate into a group, enhance cooperation and listening skills, and, of course, have fun!
Following last year’s journey, where children discovered diverse melodies, rhythms, and languages through play songs from around the world, this year we will explore traditional songs from Greece and other countries.
Through tradition, children will familiarize themselves with new rhythmic patterns, musical instruments, and sounds, while also beginning to grasp the basics of rhythmic and melodic solfège and dictation.
In the group for individuals with atypical development and their caregivers, music is used as a tool for coordination, mindfulness, cooperation, and enjoyment.
All these skills are cultivated through active and passive music listening, rhythmic and melodic games, and an introduction to reading graphic and classical notation.
Instructor: Maya Myriam Papageorgiou, Music & Theatre Educator
These programs are organized in collaboration with the Music Academy of Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses.




Music Education Workshops by M.A.A.K.S.S. 2024-2025
Improvised Dance & Music Composition Workshop
For ages 13 to 16
The workshops aim to enhance self-awareness and self-expression, strengthening participants’ confidence and self-knowledge while simultaneously contributing to the local culture and community.
Our intention is to provide young people with an opportunity to connect, learn new skills, and build community through collective creation and artistic expression.
By doing so, we encourage the island’s youth to integrate art into their daily lives and their daily lives into their art.
