At ADECO, all children have the opportunity to work both in groups and individually, learning attitudes of collaboration and cooperation. This work is realized across different content areas, which are interconnected and crucial for the processes of education and lifelong learning.

By promoting joint work among all participants in the Kindergarten, specifically by partnering with all classrooms, we prioritize the sharing of information, exchange of ideas, and knowledge.

The fact that we work in an Open Classroom makes ADECO unique in its methodology.

In preschool, the continuity of the educational process takes into account the individuality of each child. Children play a fundamental role in their own learning, being builders of their own knowledge through their capacity for choice, initiative, autonomy, critical thinking, organization, responsibility, both individually and collectively.

During the morning, there are three distinct moments:

• 1. Group meeting, held separately by each group in their respective room with their educator.
     
     

  2. Free movement of the children between the rooms; each child plays and works according to their wishes in the chosen area(s), following certain previously established rules:

• • • Each child chooses their activity according to the number of places available in each area, also having the option to choose an alternative activity.

    • Each child is responsible for cleaning and tidying the materials they used.

3. At the end of the morning, another group meeting takes place, during which the work done is reviewed. This review is done separately with each group and their educator.

In the afternoon, activities or small projects are carried out in the respective classrooms or in the playground, according to the needs of each group.

This operational dynamic provides children with the opportunity to express themselves and create according to their needs, using various techniques and materials, making their own decisions, and learning to organize themselves autonomously, both in individual and collective work.

It is our intention to recognize the child as an active participant in the educational process — starting from what the child already knows, valuing their knowledge as the foundation for their learning, as well as addressing the different content areas in an interconnected way — the articulated construction of knowledge.
