''Bartering, Exploring, Playing and Learning''

On September 4th, we celebrated our Kindergarten's 8th birthday! Among teachers, parents, kids and Foundation's managers, we sang and danced around a diaper-simulated cake. Nevertheless, real pieces of cake were handed to the children, who were thrilled with the surprise.

Throughout these months we've returned to face-to-face activities, with 50 girls and boys participating in every encounter. We've accompanied children in their learning of animals and means of transportation. We've used visual aids and physical activities as tools to consolidate knowledge. Also, children have had the opportunity to get closer to instruments and explore melodies. As other children are staying at home, we follow up their processes very carefully.

In order to watch for children's health and nutrition, we've been supporting their families by giving them biosecurity items and market baskets. However, as well as we've provided these material aid, we've also been accompanying parent's growth of their breeding abilities.

By launching a podcast episode of "Aprendiendo en Familia" (Learning in Family) every 2 weeks, parents have had the opportunity to approach, learn and meditate on several topics such as how does relationships, affection, bonding and attachment occur in early years. Hand in hand with psychologists and these parents we've discussed children's psychological needs, as well as the difficulties that caretakers face when these love expressions aren't as natural or frecuent, due to their personalities, affection wounds or love comprehensions that have been passed in their families by generations. Through these spaces, both mothers and fathers have been able to express themselves in a secure space while they bond with other parents.

The Laudes Infantis Fondation has been carrying out different actions so that children can have accompaniment from the playful component of development, to nutrition and hygiene.

In December we had deliveries of the Christmas tricks, where the children received gifts and a recreational day, with the aim of accompanying them and recognizing a date as special for our families as it is, Christmas.

During that day the teachers and the children were able to share after so long, because the actions have been developing from virtuality. There they sang, danced and above all we gave a magical moment to children that need it so much.

During this first quarter, they have been carrying out nutritional and hygiene accompaniment, with the delivery of monthly markets, a hygiene kit and Play, with the aim of meeting the needs in which we see that the children of the first childhood Garden have in this case.
