OK, Philgoddar.
philgoddard Jul 22, 2013:
It refers to the parents or teachers. Creativos and imaginativos are plural, and the child is singular.
Manuel Aburto (asker) Jul 22, 2013:
Is is not clear or I am not clear?

The creativos e imaginativos refers to the child or the child's parents?

following/respecting the child's pace

Manuel: It's not you, it's the text that's unclear.
I believe that what they mean to say is: "following the child's pace", or "respecting the child's pace"

(siguiendo los ritmos que marque el niño/a)

at the child's pace

This is a phrase which would seem to be appropriate in this case. It refers in particular to learning i.e. letting the child learn "at its own pace" which is considered to be beneficial to the child, rather than setting schedules and possibly pressurising the child to learn which can be counter-productive.

See:
http://www.howkidsdevelop.com/prekPrograms.html
"If the school is child-centered, learning is done at each child's pace, and the teacher's role is to arrange the environment and provide ideas and materials for children to choose their own activities."
