1st Stage Nursery

FIRST STAGE OR NURSERY for 1-3 year-olds

At Betània-Patmos, we welcome EI1 and EI2 children (nursery year 1 and 2)

When children first arrive in our school, they find a warm environment where they feel protected and accompanied by their teachers. This fact will foster the affective links that are fundamental to acquire future knowledge and face new changes in the future.

We offer a calm, welcoming and encouraging atmosphere in which children can acquire autonomy and start exploring and developing their motor skills.

Our main goal is for students to feel they are accompanied, cared for and safe, creating an atmosphere where they start to know themselves and their capabilities. Through pleasant learning experiences, teachers will also offer them stimulating dynamics to foster interaction with other classmates and our surroundings.

These are important moments in which to build relationships.

We create different settings, like thematic corners, treasure baskets or experimentation boxes, to stimulate their thinking processes and creativity, that is, their development.

Our daily communication with the families is paramount for us, as it is key for us to get to know the children better, to understand their personal needs, to be able to respect their development. We want our observation and guidance to adapt to their evolution.

Finally, your children, our students, are important to us!
