Our Philosophy


Our programs are based on the following concepts:
  • Movement stimulates the learning process - Recent neurological studies have found a strong relationship between movement and intelligence. Movement activates neural transmissions throughout the body which facilitates learning.
  • The elasticity of the brain - Our activities take into consideration certain studies in neuroscience, pedagogy and psychology which show that the brain grows according to stimuli and life experience. After age six, we still continue to learn, however, the brain’s basic configuration will remain more or less the same.
  • The role of the adult- In our baby and toddler programs the active participation of mothers and fathers is crucial because we feel that the children learn better when accompanied by an adult to whom he or she is emotionally attached. According to studies, mothers and fathers are the best teachers for little children. In our classes the activities are chosen so that the adult and the child have fun and learn together.
  • The fun way to learn English- Children learn English through play, movement, dance and art because, by making it a multi-sensory experience, they better integrate the language, in a similar way that they would do their mother tongue.
  • Non-competitive learning and positive reinforcement - We provide your child with an environment based on respect and free from competitiveness, in which we emphasize skill learning as the way to overcome difficulties.
