About this stage

Early Years education is a priority at our school, as it is the stage in which the foundations for all later learning are laid. It is organised into two cycles — the 1st cycle (1–3 years old) and the 2nd cycle (3–6 years old) — each with an approach adapted to the needs of that age. That is why we care for our youngest children with warmth, attentiveness and dedication, starting from experiential, hands-on learning.

Our teaching staff are continually trained in methodologies aimed at Early Years students, selecting the aspects that can best influence classroom learning and fostering overall development and the identification of individual abilities.

We also strengthen learning of the second language — English — with the involvement of specialist and native-speaking staff.

Complementary activities — Early Years

With the aim of offering our students a solid, more complete preparation, at Los Robles we offer five weekly complementary sessions on a regular basis, on a voluntary, non-profit basis. These sessions cover a range of areas, and the work done in them does not count towards students' assessment.

CIMA (Science, Research and Environment)

1 session per week

Aims to introduce students to the Environmental Discovery and Exploration area in a more hands-on and playful way.

Psychomotor skills

3 sessions per week

This area is reinforced to help children improve control of their body movements in a healthy way, as well as their relationships and communication with others.

English conversation

1 session per week

Aims to strengthen and improve listening and speaking skills in the second language they are learning.
