EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION 0 - 6 YEARS.

The beginning of school life is a big step in the lives of children.

The stage of initiation and discovery

During this first stage, boys and girls develop their own identity through acceptance and trust, adapting to the group and learning to share, communicate, respect, enjoy, etc.

Early childhood education (EI) must be developed through personal attention and play to stimulate early learning.

We understand Early Childhood Education as a stage that must be developed in a space designed and organized to make it a happy experience, a place of relationships between children, families and educators.

A space in which it is possible to be a person, learning to share, exchange, accompany, learn, respect, tolerate, communicate, love, enjoy, show solidarity...

Methodology

We stimulate the various areas of learning, adapting to the needs of each child to offer personalised educational and personal development.

We promote the children's' participation in workshops and assemblies, educating them on responsibility and teamwork so that they can learn to be organised and autonomous. We develop communication through multilingual learning as of the first cycle. We guide each child in the process of initiating a religious awakening, enhancing their intrapersonal, interpersonal and spiritual intelligence.

We give families the possibility to participate in the centre and in the school life of their children, as well as to efficiently expand the acquisition of new resources through this channel, adding value in the form of knowledge, information and useful guidance for the education of all our students. For this purpose, we organize workshops and meetings related to the 8 lines of educational development with the objecting of offering a comprehensive education.
