At Poder Joven, we seek the holistic well-being of our children; for this reason, we offer them activities designed to develop their cognitive and social skills. However, the nutritional support we provide daily is no less important. At our facilities, we serve a total of 230 meals per day (5,060 full meals each month). This nutritional support enables our kids to enjoy the activities we offer and helps them concentrate more easily during the academic reinforcement sessions.
On April 24th, we celebrated Children’s Day at our two homes. Through games, dancing, and the giving of gifts, we honored them all for their spontaneity, tenderness, and innocence. Furthermore, we encouraged them to continue expressing the joy inherent to their current state as children, while simultaneously becoming aware that their lives will unfold in accordance with the decisions they make day by day.
Each of the activities we present to the children at the foundation always serves a purpose that contributes to their intellectual development. Drawing, painting, arts and crafts, literacy skills, logic and mathematics exercises, and English classes are some of the tools utilized at the foundation routinely. Thus, by combining fun with effort and concentration, we believe that they develop the skills necessary to achieve academic and professional success in the future.
In the month of May, we invited the children’s families to enjoy a joyful afternoon of music, prizes, and fun. We know how important it is to work closely with the children’s immediate families, as this is where the learning and behaviors originate. For this reason, we strive to educate parents about the need to serve as positive role models for the proper development of their children’s personalities.
