Early Childhood Education
Toddler II, Kindergarten I and Kindergarten II
At Colleman, childhood is a journey filled with joy, discovery and exploration, experienced in two languages.
The Early Learning Center (Nursery, Toddler and Kindergarten) features immersive learning spaces, specially built for our program.
Our Pedagogical References
Inspired by international references such as Finland and based on scientific research on learning and human development, the Colleman Methodology prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century with an innovative, personalized, and student-centered approach.
It rests on five fundamental pillars:
Active learning – the student is the protagonist, building knowledge in a practical and meaningful way.
Personalization – teaching adapted to the needs and styles of each student.
Socio-emotional skills – development of competencies such as critical thinking, creativity, empathy, leadership, communication, and self-management.
Educational technology – digital resources that enhance learning and bring students and teachers closer together.
Collaboration and formative assessment – learning built together, with continuous assessments, constant feedback, and personalized review plans, ensuring progress throughout the process.
Why invest in bilingualism from an early age?
Investing in bilingualism from an early age enhances children’s natural learning, developing concentration, creativity, better school performance, a broader worldview, and more future opportunities. Here at Colleman, we believe that speaking English opens doors and prepares your child to conquer the world
Double literacy
Literacy in two languages (Double Literacy), a process in which the child develops, simultaneously or alternately, literacy in two languages (Portuguese-English). The program emphasizes phonics, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension. Double Literacy in the early years does not mean confusing the child, but rather enhancing their ability to read and write in two languages in an integrated way, preparing them for an increasingly globalized world
At this stage of school life, Colleman's mission is based on 5 pillars:
VERBAL COMPREHENSION
In Elementary School I, language gains new dimensions: reading, writing, and text interpretation become fundamental. We work on verbal comprehension so that the student knows how to express themselves clearly, understand different types of discourse, and develop critical thinking through language.
MENTAL OPERATIONS
Students expand their capacity for logical and abstract reasoning. With practical and challenging activities, we stimulate mental operations such as analyzing, comparing, classifying, and solving problems, preparing them to learn actively and autonomously.
CULTURAL CAPITAL
Contact with books, arts, sciences, new technologies, and multiple cultures enriches the student's repertoire. In Elementary School I, the goal is to form global readers, awakening curiosity and expanding horizons beyond the classroom.
SOCIALIZATION
Socialization is an essential process for the child's integral development. In the school environment, they learn to live in a group, respect rules, deal with differences, and build healthy relationships.
AUTONOMY
Contact with books, arts, sciences, new technologies, and multiple cultures enriches the student's repertoire. In Elementary School I, the goal is to form global readers, awakening curiosity and expanding horizons beyond the classroom.

FAQ
How does the adaptation process for new students work?
We plan a welcoming period for new students and families, which may include visits, meetings, or gradual adaptation, aiming for emotional safety and full integration into the school environment.
What pedagogical model is adopted in Early Childhood Education?
Our curriculum includes a bilingual approach, project-based learning, the use of educational technology, and a focus on the whole child's development — cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
My child doesn't speak English, how will they adapt?
Even without speaking English at first, your child will be welcomed, understood, and encouraged to communicate gradually. Bilingual immersion allows the child to build vocabulary step by step, without pressure, until they feel confident to speak.
Message from the General Coordinator
Angélica Horácio
Our role is to closely monitor each student's development, supporting teachers, strengthening innovative pedagogical practices, and ensuring an educational environment that inspires curiosity, collaboration, and growth. More than simply teaching content, we aim to educate citizens who are prepared for the challenges of the present and the opportunities of the future.
