Holistic development is central to the Montessori-based Education Infantil, promoting physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth. The Montessori system, with the dedication of our teachers, enables children to learn life skills, nurture self-care, and cultivate independence while practicing basic movements and other skills. Montessori classrooms are equipped with materials that support science, animals, plants, history, geography, astronomy, geology, mathematics, and languages. The approach is multicultural, with teachers from Brazil, China, and the United States, enriching social interactions and cultural understanding. Education with love emphasizes equality, tolerance, and respect for diverse family backgrounds and nationalities, promoting harmony and moral growth. We teach according to each student's aptitudes, focusing on discovering their interests and individual potentials.
Inclusion and diversity are central to the learning environment. We provide support and adapt content to ensure the best understanding and well-being of students. Our diverse team of teachers, including Montessori specialists from Brazil, China, and the United States, supports inclusive learning. We accept students of all nationalities, reflecting our inclusive philosophy. Enrollment and classroom practices emphasize inclusion and plurality.
We offer a language-immersion environment in which children have daily contact with three languages: Mandarin, Portuguese, and English, taught by native teachers from China, the United States, and Brazil. This approach develops listening and speaking skills in all three languages, providing a complete and effective language-learning experience. The school emphasizes trilíngual immersion to prepare students for a global context.
Emotional and social development are integral to the Montessori approach. The Montessori system, together with our dedicated teachers, promotes emotional well-being and a sense of belonging. The school fosters inclusion, equality, tolerance, and respect for diverse backgrounds, promoting harmony and moral growth. A personalized approach teaches according to each student's aptitudes, supporting confidence and motivation.
