THE CENTER
WHO WE ARE
The Centre des Noyers is a facility of the ARKHEIN foundation, operated by ARKHEIN France, located in Amancy, Haute-Savoie. We make the center available to children in need, under the responsibility and care of the professionals who support them.
OUR MISSION
Supporting children aged from 5 to 12 on the autism spectrum, for 1 to 8 half-day sessions per week, in link to their needs and each child’s individual plan.
OUR FACILITIES
A true haven of peace and quiet place. Across 210 m² spread over two levels, children have access to several spaces with varied atmospheres. A spacious garden, ideal to play and for outdoor activities, is also available.

OUR HISTORY
OTHER FACILITIES
At the center’s pool, children explore buoyancy and work on coordination and breathing through a variety of water games. One-to-one sessions help them relax, focus, and build confidence in a safe, fun environment.
On the trampoline, children practice basic motor skills: jumping, balancing, adjusting their footing, and coordinating their movements. The bounce sets the rhythm, builds endurance and anticipation, and offers a space for fun and self-expression through movement.
The slide and other outdoor play (scooters, balls, etc.) encourage initiative and both fine and motor skills. Sliding, braking, steering, throwing, and catching help children build spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and turn-taking.
The motor skills room complete things out with foam modules, courses, balls, wall bars, and varied surfaces. It helps children get their bearings, plan movements, overcome obstacles, and adjust posture—building confidence, independence, and self-regulation.
The sensory room is a calming space to explore the senses safely. Soft lighting, light features, textures, and interactive materials help with relaxation, sensory tolerance, and the joy of exploring.
