At this stage, there are fundamental developmental milestones in a child’s life, who begin to experience new discoveries every day.
In order for this stage to be smooth for students, we carry out a careful adaptation process so that they begin to familiarize themselves with the teachers, and the new school routine in a natural way. This period is strategically designed to welcome and provide the necessary security to students and families at school.

The Early Childhood Education program is composed of the learning fields from the National Common Curriculum Base, and is based on the guidelines of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, also influenced by other benchmark curricula around the world.
The methodology respects the growth time, personality and family history of each child, encouraging the students’ cognitive and socio-emotional evolution through multisensory and exploration activities, which expand the capacity to absorb new knowledge.
Social interactions are encouraged and, through these interactions, students develop social skills of cooperation, empathy, respect and self-knowledge.

Planned to encourage students’ autonomy and protagonism, the Early Childhood Education school environment provides educational experiences outdoors in interaction with nature, always with the necessary safety for this age group.
From K4 onwards, students can already express themselves in English and Portuguese, learning to differentiate the moments in which they should use each language. It is at this stage that the process of biliteracy begins – the simultaneous literacy in two languages.
Students begin to develop reading and writing hypotheses in Portuguese at K5, while continuing to work with Phonics, an English literacy program. This is also when the contextualization of important mathematical concepts begins, which will be the basis for all the following years. The evolution of reasoning in this school subject is done through logical and numerical thinking in a gradual and constructive way, with real life experiences.

And it is in K5 that students end the Early Childhood Education cycle. At graduation, students also play the role of agents of their own learning, participating fully in the celebration preparation, an occasion in which they put into practice the development of skills such as planning, organization, responsibility – and always having a lot of fun. On this day marking the beginning of Elementary School, we celebrate the classes’ development and achievements.

We believe that the family plays an essential role in a child’s knowledge building. In this sense, in order for parents to actively monitor their child’s developmental milestones, our Research and Development area has prepared the RED HOUSE Family Collection, an exclusive material through which the family has the opportunity to participate and act more closely in the children’s school routine.
In an interactive way, parents have the opportunity to get to know the Units of Inquiry in greater depth, the pedagogical work carried out with each age group and situations that happen within the classroom.

Another collaborative material shared with families is the Big Book, sent home periodically. With photos, information about activities, projects and even songs, the material is a reminiscent of the student’s special moments during this period, becoming a memory capsule for lifetime. The Big Book also brings proposals for activities related to projects developed in the classroom to be done with parents and students.
And to stay in touch with the evolution of their children, families receive a detailed student achievement report every six months in every area of knowledge. And they participate in an individual alignment meeting with the educators to discuss the challenges achieved and the children’s goals for the next period.
The acquisition of a second language in childhood provides several benefits to children. The human brain comes into the world prepared to absorb knowledge. For language, this starts in the mother’s womb and extends into early childhood and beyond. The earlier a child is encouraged to learn a foreign language, the more natural the new language development will be.
Songs, picture books, dialogues, games, learning activities and pretend play can encourage children to develop an interest in a new language.
In this context, learning must be carried out differently at different stages of childhood. Up to the age of 3, instruction should be natural, as with learning in general. From the age of 4, it is possible to formalize reading, writing, speaking and understanding in different textual forms.
