Kindergarten 2 is a year full and rich for the development of our little ones. At this age, children have a great language management which allows them to improve their social relationships.
Bit by bit, they regulate their behavior by solving daily conflicts and disagreements through words and dialogue with others. They tend to feel very attracted to activities with a certain complexity as opposed to those that are too simple for them, since they can face problem solving more accurately and conscientiously. They show greater emotional maturity which leads their behavior to improve due to the search for approval from the social environment, for this reason at Welfare we increase the degrees of difficulty to face challenges that may arise in life.

Children in Kindergarten 2 by the end of the school year will achieve:
