CHILDREN’S HOUSE
In Children’s House, we have as a foundation that, your child is first.
Age: from 3 to 6 years (pre-K 1 to pre-K 3)
The environment in Children’s House contains material that has been carefully designed to allow children to explore and name a variety of sensations: size, color, form/shape, texture, smell, sound, and much more. The activities offer physical and tangible introductions to the mechanics of the language (parts of a sentence, etc) or to number concepts (the decimal system and simple mathematical operations).
The multiple age environment also promotes social skills. They have limited amount of material on the shelves with the objective that they learn to share, wait for their turn, or choose a different activity. The older kids help the younger ones to solve their problems, this helps the younger children’s education and reaffirms their own learning.

This methodology is reinforced with high level programs such as psychomotricity; as through music classes, art, orchard and animals, the children’s cognitive abilities are increased.
Every day the children perform visión exercises that help to improve their visual development and to increase their capacity to concentrate which are fundamental elements to a better learning.
