For example, to meet the constant need of children to keep moving and perform varied tasks, we do our daily activities in different settings (gym, English classroom, work areas, patio, etc.), giving children The opportunity to move while they work and learn.

In Preschool we resolve and prevent conflicts through mediation, dialogue and promotion of children’s autonomy. This helps us to avoid having to apply punishment and mechanical sanctions that inhibit social development and are only effective short-term measures.

The implementation of CORGA has important features:

Keeping up with the international standards; on average an adult is in charge of ten to thirteen children, working in a small group during an established routine, in accordance with their age, strengthening the daily interaction with the children.

In Maternal or Toddlers one adult is in charge of six children.

Evaluation and guidance

Fine and detailed knowledge about each child

In Infantes and Crayones we rely on a unique system to evaluate and guide the children with the goal to maintain a high level of quality offering each child what their development requires.

We render reports that include a register with specific daily anecdotes about the children, their classification in developmental patterns, their interpretation as well as suggestions by the teacher and coordinator. Generating these reports reveals the teacher’s detailed knowledge about each child and it is a tool that the teacher incorporates into the planning on a weekly basis. Additionally, it is a practical tool for the parents of the families in the interaction with their children.

Our evaluation system is valid in terms of development and it is the most professional and precise one in the whole country. The work we do in evaluations goes beyond even the most demanding international standards.
