Description
We are a non-for-profit small community kindergarden established in 2017. Our center is located in one of the 12 magic towns of Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, named; Santa María Ahuacatitlán. Our learning program's license is under the Institute of Education in Morelos (IEBEM). Thus, volunteers will have a real experience with traditional learning based on the Mexican Education System.
Additionally, our kindergarden is member of a town organised under traditions and customs. This means that the community has its local celebrations, traditions and way of organisation.
The kindergarden's mission is to promote quality education by working with nature, arts, technology, music, local traditions, languages and to promote nutritious food among the locals. We would love to welcome volunteers that are willing to share their English, German or French language knowledge with local kids. Currently, we have books and material in English and French.
