¿What we do?
Our experience for over 18 years in the childcare industry has enabled us to implement and adapt educational philosophies such as the Creative Curriculum, Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Pedagogy 3000/4000/5000, with the latter being our primary focus. The combination of these techniques and the extraction of resources to implement a new concept of early childhood education has kept us at the forefront in our community ever since. We hold sessions where we work with mixed-age groups, which has allowed us to make detailed observations of behavior where we notice an invaluable increase in compassion, companionship, care, and protection among the children themselves.
Our program has assisted families in managing children with special needs such as Down syndrome, attention deficit disorder, autism, and other behavioral issues with undefined diagnoses. Through directed exercise and individually balanced organic nutrition, avoiding ingredients that may affect or alter the child’s internal chemistry and potentially reactivate their symptoms, we focus on the fundamental importance of acceptance, love, and tolerance for one another. This philosophy has yielded very positive results, filling families with hope and joy. Learn more >
