Focus on emotional adaptation, routine development, socialization, and the introduction of bilingual communication. Through guided play, songs, stories, and hands-on activities, children begin building the foundations for school learning.<\/p>\n<h4>Kindergarten 2 (Ages 4\u20135)<\/h4>\n<p>Work habits are consolidated, and more structured content is introduced. Students develop phonological awareness, letter and number recognition, motor coordination, and cooperation. Intellectual curiosity is stimulated through sensory, experimental, and narrative experiences.<\/p>\n<h4>Kindergarten 3 (Ages 5\u20136)<\/h4>\n<p>Preparatory stage for primary education. Literacy, logical-mathematical reasoning, and simple problem-solving are gradually introduced. Full autonomy, emotional management, and the development of personal and collective responsibility within the school context are emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinasamericanschool.openapply.com\/roi&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;APPLY NOW&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#882424&#8243; button_font=&#8221;FUTURA BT BOOK||||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#xe060;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1em||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|5em||5em|false|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||6em||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;FUTURA BT BOOK|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;gcid-b100d0f9-40d8-4cc8-bf0b-a9f65780d77c&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-b100d0f9-40d8-4cc8-bf0b-a9f65780d77c%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3814\" data-end=\"3855\"><strong data-start=\"3817\" data-end=\"3853\">Frequently Asked Questions About Early Childhood Education<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- notionvc: ae8a52ad-0d3a-42a4-bcaa-49f2379fdf42 --><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; toggle_font=&#8221;FUTURA BT BOOK||||||||&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; closed_toggle_font=&#8221;FUTURA BT BOOK||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What characterizes the American curriculum in Preschool?&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font=&#8221;FUTURA BT BOOK||||||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Our curriculum focuses on holistic and active learning, fostering autonomy, creativity, and oral expression from an early age.
