Pre-School

Inclusive Pre-School

The AIS Pre-school welcomes children between the ages of 3 and 5 including some with SNE as long as we can give a pedagogical answer and the correct therapeutic.

Through active and differentiate methodologies, AIS seeks the children’s full development stimulating the critical spirit, autonomy and responsibility.

The building of the learning is done in an individual, fun, affective and secure way.

To implement all these characteristics we have chosen a methodology based on MSM – Modern School Movement.

It is through this experience that are tested the human values that support justice, reciprocity and solidarity in a transforming exercise of mentalities to create engaging and active citizens.

The playgrounds are used during all year.

PEDAGOGICAL WORK

All classrooms are formed by heterogeneous groups aged 3, 4 and 5.

While the children with the age of 3 do their nap after lunchtime, the children of 4 and 5 are engaged in activities.

Age 4 – 1h30 in workshops related to a theme according to the curriculum guidelines:

Oral and written language stimulation
Logical-mathematical reasoning development
Broadening world knowledge
Motor skills development
The individual and the others identity development

Age 5 – 1h30 of preparation to Cycle 1 with specific approaches to mathematics, reading and writing areas.

This team includes kindergarten teachers, a teacher from Cycle 1 and a Special Needs Education Teacher.

In October and June it is applied to the children of the age of 5 a BAPAE (a set of skill tests to the school learning) that refers which basic skills must be worked. From this information the team develops activities in order that the children that will go to the Cycle 1 will be prepared to do a good school learning.
