Our Methodology
At Up! Kids School – Escuela Infantil® we believe that holistic education by its very nature contains a multitude of complex elements that must be discovered, developed and strengthened in children, taking into account the different particularities that each one brings with them. With this in mind, we have drawn on various different pedagogical and philosophical theories as an inspiration for our actions, programs and other educational strategies and we have grouped them together and adapted them into the following modules, which form the backbone of our Up! Kids Circuit®.
PEDAGOGICAL PROJECTS
PROJECT TIME
Daily classes aimed to become moments of creation based on the interaction between the children and amongst them, the children and both the adult and the context around monthly thematic projects. Children actively participate in their learning process incorporating their personal experience. Project Time integrate the development of logical-mathematical thinking and literacy in English and Spanish.
ENGLISH IMMERSION
ENGLISH IMMERSION

GYM
Early stimulation module focused on the psychomotor area, sensory integration and the proprioceptive system as the basis for the development of brain areas later related to the acquisition of knowledge. It also facilitates aspects related to the development of self-esteem and self-image.
MY SENSES
Sensory integration is worked in this module through the stimulation of the senses, as a fundamental basis for learning, as it develops skills related to attention, motivation and relaxation. In this class, children explore, discover and enjoy various sensory experiences that lay the foundations for more complex neural connections in the following years.
TECH LAB

EXPLORATORIUM

It focuses on the exploration of musical instruments, rhythm, singing and movement.
LANGUAGE STIMULATION
