Foresta Foundation (1998)

Domingo Alonso Nursery School supports coeducation, integration, individualization and attention to diversity; because we consider Education as a process that covers different aspects, which build the autonomy, security and personality of the pupils, taking into account the individual and social dimensions.

Domingo Alonso Nursery School supports coeducation, integration, individualization and attention to diversity; because we consider Education as a process that covers different aspects, which build the autonomy, security and personality of the pupils, taking into account the individual and social dimensions. (Hasta aquí entradilla) Moreover, the Educational Team of this School has agreed to a series of values that set our line of action to internalize in the children. These are: solidarity, respect, social harmony and tolerance.

In the Centre, the methodology will be active, global and meaningful, promoting the participation, offering resources and making proposals to move forward in learning. For the achievement of such methodology, the previous knowledge of the pupil, the individuality of every one of them, as well as the general characteristics of the group/class will be considered as base. As the main methodological resources, early childhood development programs, teaching units, organized projects and workshops, structured in accordance to the pupils’ interests and needs, will be used.

Additionally, as part of the methodology, the center addresses the principles of activity, experience, games, autonomy, globalization, interaction and significant learning, which regulates Childhood Education as an educational stage; using always the previous knowledge of the pupils, their age and their potential development level as a cornerstone.

Communication with parents will be fluent, day-to-day and direct. To this effect, we daily use an App, Diary4kids, where parents will be able to monitor the routine activities of their children. In addition, there will be several group and individual meetings with families during the year for a more personal and comprehensive supervision of every child’s learning.

The School owns a wide variety of materials that eases the handling and observance, allowing the development of different capabilities of the student body, in accordance with their age. In order to stimulate and motivate children during the performance of pretend play, the kids will be provided with recycled commercial material or real objects from everyday life, amongst others.

Domingo Alonso Nursery School pursues technological innovation and digitalization within the classrooms, promoting the development of the ICT, through the usage of Tablet and Interactive Digital Whiteboard, which increases the motivation and participation of the student body, adapting the Center to the current and future societies.

The introduction of a foreign language since Nursing School is essential. Therefore, a project for teaching English in daily lessons where common expressions and vocabulary are used to make children aged from 1 year old familiar with the language, has been started. The obtained results are very satisfactory.
