Where it all begins
Early Childhood Education in Butantã
The first steps in school life: a time to play, discover the world and build bonds that stay with children as they grow.
Early Childhood Education
A stage that is part of CoRRA's history
Early Childhood Education is where it all began. On 7 February 1983, Colégio Ricardo Rodrigues Alves opened its doors in a rented house on Rua José Xavier de Araújo, with Early Childhood classes: care, early literacy and companionship for families in Butantã and Rio Pequeno.
More than four decades later, this stage remains the first chapter of a journey that continues in Elementary, Middle and High School, in the same school. The bonds created in the early years stay with students at every new stage.
