The ninos of Escuela play and work together whether it is learning how to tie balloons or try out new yoga positions. With the age range of 3-5 years old, they help each other and understand how cooperation and collaboration are the keys to their success.

The ninos twist into their yoga positions twice a week: What a wonderful habit to develop at such a young age! Their parents requested English language lessons, so twice a week they are also learning from local volunteers who use humor and nutrition to teach basic English words.
| |
Our master teacher, Dulce, leads them in daily math and language arts lessons. She teaches and demonstrates an activity; the ninos watch and learn from each other. | |
To welcome Spring every year, the ninos dress up and parade into the town plaza. Parents make the costumes, and a festive time is had by all!
| |
Mexico celebrates Children's Day with festivals at all the schools. Ours is no different; the ninos dress in their best clothes to dance, play games and take turns swinging at the pinatas.
