Educare Niterói

Educare is an early childhood education institution in Santa Rosa, Niterói, Brazil, focused on supporting children’s development through a carefully designed curriculum and a sensitive, respectful approach to childhood. The school aims to welcome, care for, and foster community among children, while encouraging joy in discovery, autonomy, and the development of values. Its educational practice places importance on play, interaction, and attentive listening to children’s ideas, questions, and experiences.

Educare develops projects shaped by the needs and interests of each group. Teachers observe and document children’s learning, sharing this process with families through individual and group meetings held during the school year. This dialogue is presented as an important part of the school’s approach.

Weekly workshops offer opportunities for individual and collective expression, aesthetic and critical awareness, and learning about oneself, others, and the surrounding world. Activities include visual arts, theater, music, psychomotricity, experimental cooking, English, and a science laboratory. Educare also highlights its learning environments and resources as part of its early childhood program.
