Arco offers basic education to over 140 children aged 1 to 4 on a daily basis, through the support of the department of education of São Paulo.
The project offers half day supplementary care from Monday to Friday for children aged 5 to 6 attending the public kindergarten. The classes enhance the children’s personal and social development through care, playful activities and interaction.
Thanks to partial funding by the city secretary for social security of São Paulo, Arco supports over 360 children aged 6 to 15 on a daily basis. These activities take place in addition to public education and, thus, only provides classes half days. There is a strong focus on the development of the individual potential and independence as well as on the strengthening of family and social bonds.
