100% of the children we serve have access to activities and spaces that promote a better coexistence with their peers and significant others as well as self-management.
The development of soft skills has become a very important transversal axis in all the work we do. Academic knowledge is very important to succeed, but equally important is that children learn self-control and other soft skills such as respect, empathy, cooperation, and self-management And it is crucial to do it in all interaction spaces and activities. An example is the Spanish workshops based on the reading of the book The Little Prince, in which in addition to literacy, we also encourage them to look into the socio-emotional aspects addressed in the book.
Whether it's martial arts, chess, or puppetry, the opportunities to teach soft skills are plentiful. Through creative, innovative, and playful methodologies, every moment and circumstance is used to develop in children an appreciation for themselves and for others, as well as techniques for managing their own emotions and self-control.
Last January first graders started their journey at our Program. We are delighted to begin supporting them as they grow in knowledge and wisdom for life.
