Mayores (2 to 5 years ol)
This program is meticulously crafted to foster a harmonious blend of child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities, offering children an array of choices within thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor environments. The program places a strong emphasis on learning through play, creating an atmosphere that promotes discovery, independence, and social interaction.
To nurture self-esteem and social competence, children are actively encouraged to take initiative, help themselves, and progressively develop independence. The environment encompasses a diverse range of activities, including art, dramatic play, unit blocks, manipulatives, language arts, books, music, water and sand play, construction of large structures, gardening, running, climbing, animal care, and various large and small motor activities. Our overarching goal is to stimulate each child's innate curiosity and passion for learning. We believe in the significance of active participation in the learning process, providing numerous opportunities for hands-on learning that facilitate both indirect and direct acquisition of new knowledge and skills.
