Preescolar Maguen
Play, exploration, and creativity versus memorization and repetition. Preescolar Maguen is an educational initiative that recognizes that children are explorers by nature and that revolutionizes learning strategies by prioritizing “exploring” and “doing” starting at an early age. Spaces are designed for art, music, and other creative activities that inspire the children and stimulate their imagination and their capacity to invent. MediaLab and Maker Space are examples of such spaces where the focus is on collaboration, the integration of technology, and art, as well as on traditional learning tools that continue to be valid and relevant.
Problematic
Education in Latin America and the Caribbean has not evolved with the needs of today’s world. Traditional teaching models focus above all on the role of the teacher and provide few opportunities for exploration, research, and creativity for children at an early age through the use of play and group activities. It is necessary to introduce innovative pedagogical practices in order to ensure that learning takes place and to close skill gaps starting at an early age.
Solution
Preescolar Maguen is a private educational initiative to teach children in an environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and wonder. The spaces are designed to support learning and create quality environments that enhance the experiences of children. Skill development is promoted through challenges, learning-by-doing, interactions, and collaboration. Language development is promoted through a learning process for reading and writing that is connected to the experiences of the children. Technology is integrated into the educational model in a manner that is thought out and takes maximum advantage of its potential to promote learning with a clear pedagogical purpose.
