The classrooms in the Municipal Kindergarten are designed for children 1-3 years old, thus addressing a need in Santa Fe since there are no public institutions responsive to this age range.
The Barranquitas South Kindergarten also includes classrooms for children 4 and 5 years old, coming through the introduction of the elementary school from the “Los Sin Techos” Movement into the program, an NGO that provided this social service on the site. The architectural proposal of the elementary school generates, along with the basic program units (classrooms for 1-5 year olds), new spaces for extracurricular activities, where observation, discovery, sharing and exchange with peers, create positive behaviors that promote the development of children.
