Early stimulation is a combination of activities aimed at boys and girls aged 0 to 6 years based on knowledge of the development guidelines which they follow, as well as the techniques that are used to support the development of their intelligence, motor skills and their personality, thus contributing to the comprehensive development of the child.

We stimulate their brain so as to help them create neuronal connections. We work on motor development according to the homolateral movement pattern, cross lateral pattern, techniques of relaxation of extremities, dragging and crawling exercises and brachiation and walking exercises.

We use Basque and English as working languages from 0 years.

We maintain academic links with teacher training and research institutions related to our objectives.

A child has
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing and of speaking
a hundred, always a hundred
ways of listening
of surprising himself, of loving
a hundred joys
to sing and understand
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred worlds
to invent
a hundred worlds
to dream.

A child has
a hundred languages
(and also a hundred, hundred, hundred)
but ninety-nine are stolen from him.

School and culture
separate the head from the body.

They tell him:
to think without hands
to behave without thinking
to listen and not to talk
to understand without joy
to love and be surprised
only at Easter and Christmas.

They tell him:
about discovering the world that already exists
and from a hundred
they take ninety-nine away from him.

They tell him
that playing and working,
reality and fantasy,
science and imagination,
sky and earth,
reason and dreams,
are things
that don't match.

In short they tell him
that a hundred doesn't exist.

And the child says:
But a hundred exists.
