About our program
Acuarela Spanish preschool, Our place! Early childhood is the most important years in the life of a human being. Our program based on Waldorf pedagogy in Spanish immersion offers a loving, warm and family environment. The basis of our program and of Waldorf pedagogy in the first 6 years of life are aimed at developing spaces worthy of imitation, where calm, warmth and simplicity motivate the development of all aspects of the child. Our ideal is to create a place where children eat healthy, have enough time outdoors, have opportunities to move and play freely inside and outside, listen to stories, rhymes and songs, sleep well and that electronic devices are limited to the maximum and that they They are surrounded by adults worthy of imitation, who radiate confidence and coherence. Our program focuses on the development of children in the physical aspects (physical motor development, gross and perceptual) movement and perception, emotional (learning to create, which includes art and movement), social and effective communication (development of language, literature, pre reading, and writing) and the area of research related to mathematics, transversely working the development of cognitive functions that are involved in all processes of thought and put into practice in all situations of life (Structural Cognitive Modifiability Theory, Reuven Feuerestein). Our program offers an immersive environment in Spanish, with native speakers, from a natural atmosphere. The child learns the new language by acquiring language that makes sense in contexts. The child is constantly invited in a natural environment of Spanish speech, with the goal of course being to communicate.
