Infantil School Education
A Gentle Beginning at Lumina Academy
At Lumina, our early years programme offers a warm, nurturing, and home-like environment where young children feel safe, seen, and supported.
We focus on building strong foundations through movement, rhythm, imagination, and sensory experience, allowing each child to develop naturally at their own pace
INFANTIL (Ages 3-6)
Children learn best through play. Our days are filled with free play, movement, and exploration, supporting coordination, balance, and early brain development.
Activities such as climbing, running, and crossing the midline help prepare the body for focus, writing, and reading later on.
Learning Through Play & Movement
Young children express themselves through art, storytelling, music, and imaginative play.
We provide open-ended materials and gentle guidance, allowing creativity to unfold naturally without pressure or expectation.
Creative Expression & Imagination
Children engage in simple, meaningful tasks such as baking, cleaning, gardening, and handwork.
These activities build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging, while developing fine motor skills.
Hands-on Work & Practical Life
Language is introduced naturally through songs, stories, rhythm, and daily interaction in English and Spanish.
Children absorb language in a relaxed, stress-free way — just as they would in a family environment.
Gentle Bilingual Immersion
Outdoor time is an essential part of each day. Children connect with nature through gardening, seasonal changes, and open-air play.
Connection to Nature
Children participate in gardening, sustainability projects, and practical activities, connecting learning to real life.
Sustainability & Real-Life Learning
We offer a completely screen-free space, supporting deep play, focus, and emotional well-being
