Homeschool 360 Learning Experience
Learning through the Body, Emotion, and Thought
This curriculum was designed to accompany children ages 5 to 6 during a crucial stage: the consolidation of their identity, autonomy, and foundational skills that will shape not only their transition to elementary school, but also their lifelong relationship with learning.
Our approach is based on a powerful premise: children learn with their whole body, their emotions, their imagination, and their thinking. That is why we have
created a proposal that develops skills across all areas of development, respecting the child's natural rhythm, curiosity, emotions, and capacity for
wonder.
How do we do it?
"360° Learning Experience Courses" combines the best of respectful, active, and integrative pedagogical approaches:
- Montessori: autonomy, practical life order, and sensory exploration
- Reggio Emilia: expression through multiple languages, child as protagonist, and the environment as the third teacher
- Waldorf: rhythm, art, free play, storytelling, and emotional connection
- Experiential Psychomotricity: the body as the axis of learning, development of body schema, and emotional balance
- Active Music Education: Orff; Dalcroze and Edwin Gordon approach, where rhythm, singing, and movement enhance language, emotion, and thinking
- Project- and skills-based learning: children learn by doing, solving, creating, and connecting with the real world
A Magical World Built Step by Step Throughout the year, children will experience 10 major projects that allow them to explore their body, emotions, surroundings, others, nature, animals, space, time, constructions, and their own stories.
Each project contributes a piece to the construction of a symbolic, personal, and meaningful universe: their own magical world.
At the end of the journey, children will consolidate their final major project: "Me
and the World Around Me," a creative and integrative representation of everything they have discovered, felt, created, and learned. It is their way of
saying: "This is who I am, this is what I can do, this is how I understand the world, and this is how I want to transform it."
