In Nursery 1, the children have been working on the Pikler approach to motor development. This method, based on the studies of pediatrician Emmi Pikler, promotes free movement and the child’s autonomy, avoiding forcing postures that they cannot yet achieve on their own.
To support this practice, we have specific wooden furniture: triangles, ramps, boxes, steps, and swings, among others.
Freedom of movement, without constant adult intervention, is essential for motor learning. This approach encourages autonomous discovery and helps strengthen self-confidence and self-assurance.
In Nursery 2, the motor development sessions took place in a different setting: the tatami mat.
This safe, comfortable, and spacious environment has allowed us to offer a wide variety of activities, such as jumping, free play with balls, balance circuits, somersaults, races, stretching on the bar and wall bars, chase games, and relaxation routines.
Through these experiences, the children have been able to explore their bodies, gain autonomy, and enjoy movement as an essential tool for their overall development.
