Let's recognize those who care so lovingly at CAÁ! Help support our incredible employees and make a difference. ❤️
Let's value those who care with affection: This Christmas, support CAÁ's employees.
At Casa de Afetos e Aprendizagens - CAÁ, every day is a celebration of childhood. Our team is dedicated to creating an environment where children grow up surrounded by love, respect and opportunities to explore, learn and dream. This Christmas, we want to give back to those who make it all happen: our employees, incredible women who transform each day into unforgettable experiences for children.
The Purpose
As an educational community, we believe in the importance of valuing the essential work of our employees. Despite our daily efforts to ensure a quality environment, CAÁ’s financial resources are limited. That is why we have launched this crowdfunding campaign: to raise funds that will allow us to offer a financial incentive in recognition of their commitment and dedication.
Why contribute?
CAÁ’s employees are not just professionals, they are caregivers, educators and inspirational. Their daily work is the heart of our project, promoting respect for each child’s individuality, autonomy and discovery. This encouragement will be a symbolic but meaningful way to express our gratitude and reinforce the value they have for all of us.
How will the amount collected be used?
All proceeds from the campaign will be used as a Christmas bonus, divided equally between the eight CAÁ employees. It is a small gesture to show that their work is recognized and valued by the community.
Contribute and Be Part of this Action!
With your help, we can make this Christmas even more special. Your contribution – no matter how small – is an act of gratitude and support that will be deeply felt. Get involved, share the campaign with friends and family and help us make a difference.
💛 Together, we can return the affection and care that inspires us so much!
Note: If you are unable to contribute financially, please help us spread the word by sharing this campaign with your network.
Every gesture counts!
About the author
Who We Are – The House of Affection and Learning (CAÁ)
Casa de Afetos e Aprendizagens (CAÁ) is much more than a school: we are an educational community that values each child as a unique being, full of potential and creativity. Inspired by the best pedagogical practices – such as Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Forest School and Pikler – we have created a space where respect, affection and freedom guide all learning.
Our Mission
At CAÁ, we believe that education goes beyond simply teaching. Our goal is to provide a welcoming and enriching environment where children can explore, create, dream and grow holistically: physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively. We respect the individuality of each child and work side by side with families, creating a true educational partnership.
Our Principles
- Respect: For the child, for the family, for each person’s pace.
- Autonomy: We provide experiences that encourage free and responsible choices.
- Holistic education: Integrated activities that value the connection between knowledge and feeling.
- Family and Community: We believe that educating is a collective and transformative act.
The CAÁ Team
The heart of our mission lies in the children and the staff - after all, school is not a building, it is the people . Dedicated educators, they transform each day into a meaningful and loving learning experience. With a caring and sensitive eye, they welcome, care for and inspire children, always respecting their needs and promoting their autonomy.
At CAÁ, we believe that educating is caring, and caring is loving. That is why, this Christmas, we want to give back to our employees a little of what they give us.
Join us in this appreciation campaign and help us continue to create a space where affection transforms lives!
