Our story

We are a nursery school for children aged 0-3 approved by the Community of Madrid. Our project was born in 2016 with the spirit of sharing our understanding of early childhood education with families. We are guided by two core values:

Respect for children's abilities and emotions.
A climate of trust for our families, ensuring a top quality educational approach, feedback and assistance.

We want our families to feel that the school is an extension of their homes, a place where their children learn to be independent, curious, respectful, and, most important, HAPPY.

Educational project

Our school's educational project is based on Montessori pedagogy, which encourages decision-making skills, self-directed learning, freedom, autonomy, and self-reflection. These are essential tools for children's future as autonomous, self-assured individuals in society.

Peace education is intrinsic to Montessori learning. Children feel that their needs are taken into account and learn to value and understand the needs of others, thereby fostering a social and ecological awareness that is essential in today's world.

Our projet is based on four core values:

Respect.
Healthy living habits.
Solidarity.
Environmental awareness.

“I love my job. I enjoy watching the children's progress, and I find it very rewarding to see, as Maria Montessori said, "they work as if I wasnt there." I enjoy watching them develop, become independent, and grow without my direct intervention. They achieve this through support and guidance.”

She began her career in Seville in a conventional school. She then continued her professional career at a special needs school, where she discovered a different way of teaching.

She later moved to London where she had the opportunity to work on several educational projects, including a Montessori pedagogy school where she spent six years.
