At Colegio Real de Minas we know the first years of school are foundational for a child's development. Our kindergarten program is designed to nurture a love of learning through play, exploration and social interaction.

Why is play so important?

  • Cognitive development: play builds critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.
  • Motor skills: play improves coordination, balance and fine motor control.
  • Social-emotional development: group play builds cooperation, empathy and sharing.
  • Readiness for Elementary: kindergarten lays a solid foundation for future academic learning.

Our approach

We use a play-based approach: children learn through hands-on activities, creative projects and real experiences. Our teachers guide the discovery process, encouraging curiosity and independence.

A day in kindergarten

  • Morning circle with songs and games.
  • Learning centers: building, art, reading and sensory exploration.
  • Outdoor play, essential for physical and emotional development.
  • Story time with stories, poems and songs.
  • Creative projects in art, science and construction.

The role of parents

We believe parent involvement is essential. We invite families to school activities, workshops and special events, and we share tools to support learning at home.
