The school focuses on the child and the development of their emotions. In a supportive and warm environment, activities center on play and emotions. Through play, children explore, build knowledge according to their individuality, socialize, discover the world and learn to accept differences. Through work on emotions, children gain valuable information about their environment, themselves and their peers. They learn to express themselves in English and Spanish.
The school teaches English as part of a bilingual program. In the 2-year-old room, the first introduction to English uses the 'whole language' method. For 3- and 4-year-olds, English is taught through drama, games and songs, with weekly workshops and projects including literature, art, play, phonological awareness, mindfulness and emotions. In the 5-year program, there is a double schedule: one turn dedicated to teaching in Spanish and another to English. English is taught in a dedicated English teaching shift through sequences, units and projects, including a Nursery Rhymes and mindfulness project in English; Phonics begins in the second period of the year.
Mindfulness and emotional development are integrated into the curriculum. Institutional projects include literature, art, play, phonological awareness, mindfulness and emotions. A Nursery Rhymes and mindfulness project is conducted in English. Students engage in activities that foster emotional awareness and social-emotional skills. Mindfulness is included as part of the English language projects and annual planning for the program.
Emergency service is Vittal. The service is called in case of an accident and does not treat illness. When Vittal is called, the family is notified by telephone. In case of illness, parents are informed to pick up the student. The school does not supply medications.
