Activities
Storytelling
Storytelling is the oldest way to teach. It brought together primitive human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every culture tells stories. "Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today." — Robert McKee
Music Time
It helps the body and mind to work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them to learn the sounds and the meaning of the words. Dancing with music helps children to build motor skills, allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.
Cooking Classes
Cooking can help children to learn and practice some basic math concepts and build language skills. The experience of cooking can help build self-confidence and lay the foundation for healthy eating habits.
Mindfullness
Integrating mindfulness into our interactions with children can increase emotional awareness and self-regulation. This, in turn, helps to accept the needs and feelings without judgment, which supports healthy social and emotional development.
Horticulture
Horticulture develops new skills, including: Responsibility – from plant to care. Understanding – as they learn about cause and effect (e.g., plants die without water, plants compete with plants) Self-confidence – to achieve their goals and enjoy the foods they have grown.
Body in Motion
Research suggests that promoting movement and activity in young children can help increase memory, perception, language, attention, emotion and even decision-making skill. When language is combined with movement, learning increases by 90%. The movement has also been shown to help calmness and promote alertness in babies.
Sensory Exploration
Sensory activities, in addition to being fun and interesting for babies and young children, encourage children to explore and investigate. It also helps build brain nerve connections. Encourages the development of motor skills
Sustainability
The practice of sustainability enables children to build knowledge, explore values and develop an appreciation of the environment and its relationship with their worlds. This lays the groundwork for an environmentally responsible adult life.
Steam
The acronym STEAM corresponds to the words: science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics; Project research and development practices offer children opportunities to address problems in new and authentic ways. In early childhood, we encourage steam teaching to integrate these subject areas within a meaningful context. STEAM integration helps teachers focus on content (what to learn) and processes (how to learn).
Financial Education
Financial education can start very early, in fact, the more young people start learning the basics of money, the faster students learn to manage their finances and become adults who are better equipped to live independently. By teaching financial education to children, they learn to make healthy decisions, understanding the notion of work, and value of money for themselves and the social context in which they are inserted. We want to train leaders, good people to impact positively our society, working fully, contributing to the cognitive, emotional and social development of our students.
We want to form leaders, good people who make a difference in society, working on teaching in an integral way, contributing to the cognitive, emotional, and social development of our students.
