Educational Stages

1 – 2 years Escoleta

The first educational stage for the youngest children, from 1 to 2 years old. A space of discovery, warmth and development in a safe and stimulating environment.

Our philosophy · Escoleta San Cayetano

"The first steps
leave big footprints."

At Escoleta San Cayetano we accompany the earliest years of life with warmth, respect and a deeply educational outlook. We create experiences that invite children to discover, play, explore and grow, respecting the pace and needs of every child.

Our educational project

Learning starts with discovery

Play is at the heart of our approach to learning. Through movement, experimentation and sensory experiences, we nurture each child's natural curiosity and their cognitive, motor, emotional, social and communicative development.

We don't work from a single method. We select, combine and adapt different pedagogical approaches to offer, at every moment, the experiences that best respond to the needs of the group and of each little one.

Our approach

Every moment, an opportunity

We observe and offer experiences suited to each developmental stage. We respect each child's own pace while nurturing their curiosity, gradually encouraging autonomy, confidence and the desire to learn.

Our team

Education begins with connection

A team of teachers internationally certified in Positive Discipline (PDA) accompanies the children with a close, respectful and professional outlook. Affection and emotional security are part of how we teach and build their first learning experiences together.

Our surroundings

Nature is our classroom too

Escoleta is part of a privileged setting of 80,000 square metres of gardens and natural spaces. Lawns, vegetable gardens, ponds, paths and our Enchanted Forest become everyday settings for observing, experimenting, moving and learning.

Learning experiences

A thousand ways to learn

Educating means accompanying with affection, respect and pedagogical purpose. That's why we combine different methodologies and experiences — sensory, motor, musical, artistic and exploratory — adapting them to each stage of development and to the needs of each group.

An Escoleta that educates and cares

Caring is also educating

In the first cycle of Early Childhood Education, care and learning go hand in hand. Feeding, nappy changes, rest or building a secure bond are also educational moments in which we nurture autonomy, language, security and confidence.

Personalised support

We grow with them, we support families

Daily observation lets us get to know each child and follow their progress closely. We keep in constant communication with families and have the support of our Guidance Department, with psychology and speech therapy professionals.

Continuing their education

The journey begins here

Being part of Escoleta San Cayetano means starting the journey within an educational community with a shared mission, shared values and a shared outlook on childhood. Moving on to the second cycle of Early Childhood Education means continuing that same educational project and the bond built from the very first years.
