Preschool
A stage that marks
the beginning of school life.
Play, respect, autonomy, and self-awareness.
Some have already left their family environment in preschool, while for others, it’s the first time they face a new environment surrounded by strangers. Therefore, our priority is to promote a welcoming, calm, respectful and affectionate atmosphere. We want to provide students with the necessary security so that over these three years, they gain enough autonomy, develop respect for their peers and surroundings, and keep their curiosity awake, allowing them to feel really comfortable with the transition to Elementary School.
In Infant, everything is worked transversally. The day is divided into seven different moments:
- Welcome Free play and assembly
- Directed activity
- Recess During recess they have various games available to them, we always try to offer them materials that awaken their imagination (from boxes, cones, etc.). During this time, they also have fruit at their disposal.
- Dining room + recess + rest We find a moment for them to relax after eating and, for those who need it, they can sleep for a while. Above all, 3 and 4 year old students usually sleep between 45 minutes and 1 and a half hours.
- Directed activity
- Recess and outing

Some of the directed activities that we should highlight are:
