EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
- EARLY STIMULATION
At Kimba preschools, the innate talent of children between 0 and 3 years old is encouraged so that they can learn with ease, bearing in mind their different sensory and cognitive periods. Different programs allow the child to fully organise his/her skills right from birth:
1.- Encyclopaedic bits of information.
2.- Audio and visual stimulation.
3.- Mobility program.
4.- Mathematical skills.
5.- Early reading program.
6.- Sensory stimulation.
A well-structured and sequenced Early Stimulation program is the food needed to ensure neuronal development in children from 0 to 6 years old. Giving them less means feeding them scraps. For the human brain for develop it needs a highly ambitious program. If not we risk losing necessary human skills, and many doors would be closed for children when they become adults.
- TRILINGUALISM (English, Basque and Spanish)
The best time to learn a language is between 0 and 6 years old. At these ages, children learn languages naturally because they do so while they are playing. At Kimba children are totally immersed in three languages: English, Basque and Spanish.
This is guaranteed by qualified staff who are properly trained and use the language for all of the educational or welfare services throughout the day.
Teaching various languages from an early age is the only proven method of learning them to the same level as a native child. As well as this, it allows the area of the brain used for hearing to be completely developed. This develops the entire auditory area and makes it easier to learn other languages in the future.
- FAMILY-SCHOOL RELATIONSHIP
The educational role of Kimba Preschools is considered to be a supplement, but not a replacement, for the parents’ duty, who are the main persons responsible for their children's education. Preschools are an extension of the parents' role. Therefore, Kimba Preschools encourage parents to cooperate closely by establishing a personal relationship with their children’s teachers. To this end, parents are given guidance through talks and conferences, family workshops and the parenting school.
- NEW TECHNOLOGIES
One of the aims of preschools is to improve intervention methods to guarantee success for more children each year. With this in mind, Kimba has developed software targeted at children and teachers in which information relating to the pupils and the schools' educational documentation is centralised. This program contributes to closer proximity with families. Parents will have their own password to access their child’s information (monthly activities plan, conferences, bank holidays, school library, etc.).
- STUDY AND INCORPORATION OF BREAKTHROUGHS IN EDUCATION
The schools continually study and research new methods and innovations in the field of education. Updates are constantly made, which are the result of analysing and adapting the aspects that are most in keeping with education needs in the present day.
- PROFESSIONAL TEAM
The importance of the number of experts in each classroom is vital in order to achieve the ideal welfare service and, of course, an excellent educational program. The schools have the right number of properly qualified staff. The team of experts is formed by qualified teachers and childhood education specialists. Outside the classroom, other management and assistance staff work at the school. Kimba makes sure that the teaching staff receive ongoing training and retraining.
