Learning through free play

Children are discovering the world through playing. They are curious about how things work, they are keen to experience social interaction and to discover their own personality. We are building on their natural inclination to help develop independent and self-aware individuals.

Free Play

In every context, free play is essential, both outdoors with natural materials and surroundings, and indoors with our toys. Children develop autonomy and make their own decisions.

We facilitate introspection and external perception according to the predisposition of the children.

Holistic learning

Every month we are learning about important topics in an age-appropriate way. From the human body, to seasons or animals: through games, songs, painting, reading and listening, excursions and experiments.

We are discovering the world around us in a playful manner without learning stress or pressure.

outdoor time

The children spend two whole days per week in the spacious and popular Ludoteca of Ciutadella Park.

Outdoor play is not only important for our childrens' motor and mental development, but also a fun way to meet other children and animals.

Moreover, we undertake regular excursions to the beach, the zoo, museums, exhibitions and other nearby attractions.

Multilingual and diversity

Our teachers are native speakers in German and Spanish, moreover they also speak English.

Most of our children grow up in bilingual or multilingual families and learn how to playfully use different languages and experience various cultural backgrounds.

From an early age, they enjoy an open-minded and international environment.

Play and learn in a nurturing environment.

At BCN Kinder we focus on our children growing up in a loving, lively, multilingual and shared environment.

great child to teacher ratio

Our groups have an excellent ratio of 6 to 8 children per nursery school teacher. Additionally, they are supported by interns from international universities studying educational degrees.

Mixed age groups

Our groups consist of children from 10 months to 5 years of age. Through lots of joint activities the children develop a strong sense of community. Younger kids learn from the older ones, while the older children learn how to be responsible.
