Preschool is an educational period formed by two stages: the first stage or nursery for 0 to 3-year-olds, and the second stage or kindergarten for 3 to 6-year-olds. This educational period has its own identity and its objective is to contribute to the integral development of the child from an emotional, affective, physical and motor point view, as well as from a social and cognitive one, working hand in hand with their families.
Betània-Patmos provides its students with a warm environment and safe surroundings, where young children feel welcome and motivated to learn, facilitating too, the development of their capacities..
Our pedagogy fosters learning while playing and using the scientific method, transforming the learning objectives into challenges, promoting autonomous thinking and not forgetting the importance of repetition and systematization. Emili Teixidó, founder of Patmos, would always say that pedagogy is basically «patience and repetition».
