Psychomotor development
We become aware of the cognitive schema of our body, coordinate our movements in space, and cultivate bilaterality and fine motor skills.

What we do
Areas of development
Socio-emotional development
Through group games, group painting and group workshops, we come into contact with one another and build sound personal relationships in a climate of emotional acceptance, safety and self-affirmation.
Cognitive development
We enrich the mechanisms of our thinking and, in parallel, our vocabulary. We discover the physical properties and characteristics of objects, make associations, find similarities and differences, group and classify.
Aesthetic development
Through varied artistic activities (visual arts workshops, dramatisation, mime, puppet theatre, etc.), we cultivate the intellectual functions (imagination, judgement, initiative), free ourselves from fears and develop creative potential.
Skills domain
Introduction to the pre-mathematical, pre-reading and pre-writing stage. Introducing children to basic concepts and processes through play, eventually reaching the graphic domain as well.
Science
Two basic sources of knowledge are curiosity and observation. On these two elements we base and organise the teaching of science. Some of the topics we explore are: weather phenomena, electricity, magnetism, technology, etc.
