Education, Volunteering, and Magical Experiences

For ASSUBUD, January is more than the start of a new year – it marks the beginning of a dream come true. ✨ On January 6, 1982, we inaugurated the Kindergarten and opened the doors of our Escolinha in Alfragide Norte, in a neighborhood created to resettle 110 families from the former Portuguese colonies.


From day one, we believed education and care were the foundations for promoting social integration and human development. Our Escolinha became much more than an educational space: it became a meeting point, a place of welcome and hope for children and families facing the challenges of adapting to a new reality. 🤝💖

 

Over these 43 years, we have grown and adapted to the needs of our community.


In 1986, we expanded our social services by creating after-school activity centers (ATL).

In 2007, we opened our nursery to respond to the increase in single-parent families and the growing entry of women into the workforce.

In 2010, we created the Individual Support Center (CAI), offering prevention and intervention programs in Psychology, Speech Therapy, Psychomotricity, and Social Services, providing comprehensive support to families.

In 2024, with the same pioneering spirit, we opened a new Nursery on Estrada de Alfragide, continuing to welcome children from 4 months to 3 years old.

Today, we are much more than an institution. We are a family of support, love, and transformation. We continue to work towards building a more inclusive society, where every child and young person can reach their full potential, and every family finds the support they need. 🤗 🌏

We are grateful to every child, family, professional, and volunteer who is part of our story. 🙏


Together, we are stronger. Together, we make a difference. 🌟
 

At ASSUBUD, we believe that the true strength of a community lies in collaboration and mutual support. Throughout our journey, we have been blessed with the invaluable help of our volunteers. 🤝


That’s why we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers who, with dedication and generosity, give their time and energy to make ASSUBUD a more welcoming place for our children. 🙏 The support and commitment of our volunteers allow us to face daily challenges and continue providing the best conditions for our families and children.


Each volunteer has a unique story and makes an invaluable contribution to our mission.

This month, the preschool children at ASSUBUD had a magical experience by attending the Aladdin on Ice show ❄️, which combined theater 🎭 and figure skating ⛸️.

 

In addition to providing moments of fun and enchantment, this activity offered an educational experience with essential benefits for the children's development.

 

In its various forms, musical theater plays a fundamental role in stimulating creativity and imagination. Children can explore emotions, understand different perspectives, and expand their vocabulary and cultural knowledge through staged stories and music. 🌍

 

Cultural events give children the chance to discover the world beyond the classroom. In these experiences, they learn to interact in new environments 🌟 and follow group interaction rules 🤝. Moreover, these activities strengthen relationships between peers and teachers, creating memories that will stay with them throughout their lives.

 

These experiences allow children to explore new ways of learning and interact with the world around them 🌈🌏.
 

As 2025 begins, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting children, young people, and their families, creating stories of overcoming challenges and moments of transformation.
