PRE-PRIMARY

PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION

Pre-primary education is one of the first doors open to socialisation and to knowledge of other realities in our environment.

Our aim at this stage is to contribute to the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of boys and girls, taking into account their different maturity and learning rhythms, in a trilingual environment.

In this process, the collaboration
and participation of families acquires a special relevance

.

Guidance Department: Consultant specialising in Pre-primary Education.

URKIDE METHOD

The methodologies used at this stage are:
Autonomous movement: MAU
Approach to written language: with a constructivist approach.

NEURODEVELOPMENT

A COMPREHENSIVE VISION!

Body and brain must be well connected. We strengthen neuronal connections with the implementation of exercises and activities that favour the tactile-proprioceptive and vestibular senses. The aim is to carry out movements that are part of the evolutionary development of children: trawling, crawling, massage, etc.

TAILORED EDUCATION

In this first stage we work by projects based on their interests and we encourage autonomy in such a way that pupils can move freely around any of the spaces
while the adult accompanies them in their evolution through different activities.
