STAGE 1 TO 2 YEARS
A planet to discover... together
When our little ones finish their first year, they are ready for a new stage. A stage in which
This new year is marked by constant discoveries, growing autonomy and achievements happening at a dizzying pace. As educators and co-pilots on this journey, there is nothing better than enjoying their progress and rediscovering the world through their eyes.
And we do it together, with them and with you, forming an invincible team. Will you join us to explore this stage?
Our explorers at Planet Discovery
Can you imagine that every day you discover something new? And that everything awakens your motivation and enthusiasm to keep on doing it, to test yourself, to go a little further every day?
Our 1-2 year old boys and girls are like that. As they perfect their
- Our body and its possibilities. When autonomous movement and locomotion begin, our explorers need to be tested. And we do this by performing daily neuromotor activities that foster control and their physical and cognitive development. Because every movement creates neural connections, and every repetition strengthens them.
- Our close environment. Enjoying our orchard and our sensory garden that allows us to experiment with all our senses.
- New senses. Because we have more than seven, and two of them are essential for a good development. The vestibular system to promote our balance and the good integration of the rest of the senses, and the proprioceptive system to feel our own body. And we promote all of them in the classroom.
- Discovering everything we are capable of. Encouraging autonomy also fosters a good self-concept. That is why we give our children time and possibilities to achieve small accomplishments on their own, reinforcing with affection each one of their advances.
- The world around us through play and discovery. Making proposals in which they themselves can find answers through trial, error and active exploration, both in the classroom and in our forest.
- How to communicate. Discovering the pleasure of communicating is also typical of this stage. And we do it with gestural and verbal language... using emotional and respectful communication.
- With music. Music and body expression is not only fun, it also reinforces the integration of learning and allows them to express themselves creatively.
- Together: the value of socialization. From the age of 14 months, our children are ready to open up to the world. They begin to discover “others”, initiating their first relationships with peers to imitate and learn from, and learning the value of social bonding.
