aula matinal

I guess that was back in the pre-Twitter age, when parents couldn't (so easily and publicly) ask for more and 'shame' schools into changing their policies and providing (much-needed) additional services.

At the school my wife worked at, acknowledged as one of Glasgow's finest (and feepaying to boot), they were actively discouraged from allowing these early bird children into the school building before 9 AM, except in the harshest of weather conditions, so you basically had kids running around outdoors in sub zero temperatures for several months of the year at the crack of dawn most days...

"Los alumnos están atendidos por personal debidamente cualificado en aptitud y en valores, para garantizar que el estilo humano de nuestro colegio llegue a cada uno de ellos, de forma individualizada.
Se pretende garantizar un ambiente divertido, activo y participativo. Para ello contamos entre otros con materiales manipulativos, de dibujo, video,... y la atención que cada alumno puede demandar según su necesidad."

So drawing pictures and watching videos, basically. "Personal debidamente cualificado en aptitud y valores"; "estilo humano individualizado". This is waffle. It just means being nice to them. It certainly doesn't sound like actual teaching. "Aula" doesn't imply that. It's a kind of creche.

I've decided to ask the author if their "aula matinal" includes breakfast, in which case I'll call it "breakfast club". If not, I'm considering "morning preschool supervision room"... Thanks for the input so far people, I really appreciate it.

My sons have all been through the Spanish school system and the Aula Matinal in their school was mainly to accommodate the families of seasonal strawberry pickers, who start work so early. It's just a place to supervise children whose parents are working. Many bilingual schools in Spain call it "Breakfast Club".

"dos monitoras que complementan la labor educativa ANTES DE LA JORNADA ESCOLAR"

That sounds just like "pre-school club" to me. It's not "teaching" exactly, though it may involve some fun educational activities.

but it is a specific Service for the School children designed to make teaching (in the morning) coincide with their parents´work. i dont think of any pre-school activities or breakfast. Aula matinal to my thinking is nothing else but a simultaneous start of teaching on the one hand and parental work on the other.

Have you thought of Breakfast Club? Apart from a film I think it exists.
