PECS Program at DCS. What it is and why is this vital for our Pre-Schoolers
The PECS Program at DCS: A Vital Start for Your Child’s Learning Journey
The Early Child Stimulation Program (PECS), exclusively offered by DelCampo School, is a pioneering initiative that integrates schooling with early childhood stimulation for children starting at age 2 in the Toddlers Center. For over a decade, this unique program has promoted cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor development, laying a strong foundation for academic and personal success.
Early education is critical: the first five years of life are a pivotal window for neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form connections that shape learning and leadership. This is why DelCampo’s preschool program begins at age 2, harnessing this critical period to maximize children’s potential and transform neuroplasticity into neuroleadership: skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence that last a lifetime. According to the 2011-2012 Demographic and Health Surveys, children receiving psychosocial stimulation, like that provided by PECS, are more likely to achieve optimal development.
At DelCampo School, PECS engages young learners through activities like reading, storytelling, educational games, songs, sensory play, movement exercises, and art-based activities such as drawing and painting. These activities spark creativity, enhance fine motor skills, and foster social interaction. For example, PECS emphasizes foundational skills like eye-hand coordination and hand-to-paper precision when writing or drawing, which are vital for early learning. This evidence-based approach has made DelCampo’s PECS a model for Latin America.
Set in a safe, well-designed environment, PECS nurtures holistic growth within a community where parents actively participate through conferences, workshops, science fairs, and cultural events. DelCampo School doesn’t just educate—it inspires children to become future leaders, starting at age 2 in the Toddlers Center to make the most of their critical early years.
