Our Educational Program for the complementary school period of Early Childhood Education has expanded! Now, for semi-full and full-time students, we offer a new schedule with seven new activities, with playful and educational approaches, to develop new skills and competences for the 21st century in children. See below:
MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness classes include playful activities designed to help children focus and become more aware of their thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. Activities include mindfulness games, reflections on emotions, and mindful breathing and movement practices. All of this contributes to improving children’s attention and concentration, reducing stress and anxiety, and developing creativity and emotional skills.
YOGA
Yoga classes are adapted to the needs and abilities of children, with a playful and fun approach. The goal is to stimulate concentration, flexibility, muscle strength, coordination and emotional balance. During classes, postures and breathing exercises are presented in an interactive way, encouraging children to imitate animals and objects from nature, making learning more engaging.
INTRODUCTION TO CHESS
Introduction to Chess classes in Early Childhood Education begin with a presentation of the rules, pieces and basic moves of the game. As children progress, they discover that each chess piece moves differently. During classes, logical reasoning, concentration, attention, laterality and decision-making skills are developed, among others.
FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Financial Education classes in Early Childhood Education teach basic concepts such as the relationship between exchanges and financial transactions, when to spend and when to save, aiming to develop healthy habits in relation to money and make responsible financial decisions in the future.
During classes, by learning about personal finances through play, children develop important skills for carrying out financial planning and, certainly, a greater understanding of how the world around them works.
ATELIER AND ARTS & CRAFTS
Both Atelier and Arts & Crafts classes explore the vast world of art, stimulating children’s creativity by identifying techniques and elements used by great painters and plastic artists. Children are encouraged to express their creativity through drawings, free paintings and supplies. In addition, such classes contribute to the socio-emotional development of children, promoting self-esteem, trust and mutual respect, as well as stimulating imagination and observation skills.
We also offer a grid of five optional extracurricular activities, starting from Nursery III. Know more!
