"Espacio Raíces" is a project dedicated to respectful guidance during a child's growth. It aims to provide a place that meets the needs of children aged 2 to 6: a prepared and safe environment where they can move freely and autonomously, learning through play and experimentation. Here, we foster motor, cognitive, and socio-emotional autonomy. We offer them the opportunity to learn to manage emotions in relation to their environment and their own frustrations or difficulties. Ultimately, it's an environment where children grow according to their own interests and needs, with full respect for their individual developmental stage.
This project emerged from a demand by families interested in alternative ways of supporting their children's development. That's why we advocate for a project where the primary goal is respect for children and their free learning and development rhythms.
At Raíces, our purpose is to offer the possibility of achieving holistic development through play, experimentation, the experience of values, and healthy interpersonal relationships. These are linked to love and respect, freely and equally, within a nurturing and natural space. We aim to promote individual and collective freedom based on self-respect and respect for others, with full trust in the child and their capabilities. From this freedom, we nurture individual talents so that children can contribute to society what genuinely motivates them, with pleasure and the most respectful empathy. Active and mutual collaboration between the caregivers, mothers, and fathers is fundamental to achieving this goal.
We have a large outdoor area (a garden with psychomotor activities, a sandbox, and a vegetable patch) that allows children to be in contact with nature, feeling it, experiencing it, and developing in harmony with it. Additionally, we have a cozy and calm indoor room, fully equipped to foster our children's learning and autonomy.
