Monchique/Casais Playrooms and Study Room
In the municipality of Monchique there are two playrooms created by the Parish of Monchique - Ludoteca de Monchique and Ludoteca de Casais (temporarily closed) - with the purpose of providing the interaction and occupation of free time for children ages 4 to 16.
The Monchique playroom works in the vicinity of the Parish of Monchique and has a games room, a library and audiovisuals room, a covered space for workshops, a multipurpose room, a kitchen with a support room, and also an Outside Space for outdoors activities.
 
 
 
This intends to be a meeting place, to improve interpersonal relationship, but also a place where children and youngsters may develop their skills in different areas, namely artistic expression, music (ex: guitar classes), theater, reading, sports (ex: "capoeira") and several games, thus contributing to a better social adaptation.
The Study Room, installed in the vicinity of this playroom, has the main purpose of helping children with their school homework and all young people from the Municipality in study activities, always with the presence of a support teacher for any help needed.
