Early Childhood Education
INTERNATIONALITY LETTER
Our school is bigger than the world.
All children possess the right to live childhood at its fullest.
Full of time, opportunities, discoveries, significant learning experiences, and powerful relationships.
Early Childhood Education must be seen as an indispensable and unique academic phase, where care and base education are entangled actions. It’s of our knowledge that such values are integrated with all activities inside the school, may they be simple or of great amplitude. To play among them is a powerful communication language between children and the world. Inspired by Reggio Emilia, our structure offers an environment where kids can have fun, discover, and create.
Such space craves challenging, exciting, and stimulating characteristics, capable of relating academic and lucid necessities so that children can encounter the challenge and pleasure present in learning, knowing how to benefit from the world’s positive offers with dominance. When playing, they can imagine, explore, and learn, build their identity and autonomy.
In this sense, there is an extra dedication placed when welcoming children inside our academic environment.
In Early Childhood Education, pedagogical documentation is regularly presented to families, allowing them to meet and understand activities realized inside the classroom. Pedagogical documentation is present in students’ routines with the mission of registering the process and results obtained from their academic work.

Sant'Anna Mais (integral) now has a new name and it is Sant'Anna Plus. At Sant'Anna Plus children stay with us in the full period and the pedagogical part is worked in the morning period. In other words, in the afternoon, we'll have differentiated projects and other activities oriented for your son.
The Plus follows the following times:

Break and lunch may be sent from home or hired at school, which is a highly nutritious menu, specially created by our nutritionist.
*Available up to the first semester of 1st grade (Elementary School).
Sant'Anna Daily
Did you like the full period, but can't let your child every day? There is no problem, you may choose to let him or her with us from 1 to 4 fixed days per week, being offered exclusively for students during the morning period.
The time is the following:
| Entrance | Departure |

If this option is the best one for your family, you can hire the school lunch, a healthy and delicious meal developed by our nutritionist, for the days that youwould like your child to have lunch with us. Oh, and there is also nap time, if your child gets tired and wants to rest before the games.

Sant'Anna Care
Has a last minute appointment come up? Do you need us to look after your child for a few more hours?There’s no one to take care of your child until your work meeting is over? We understand your routine is not easy, and because of that we created Sant'Anna Care. It works by hiring a few extra hours for us to take care of your child, after the end of the class period (12:10), so , this option is exclusive for those who are enrolled in the morning period. Everything will be set by us, including a meal plan that includes all meals so you won’t have to worry about anything.
