A nurturing, bilingual environment for our littlest learners
This stage is the foundation for everything that lies ahead, and we understand its importance well. For this reason, we offer an enrichment programme focused on the holistic development of all students’ skills and abilities, based on Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences.
The day begins with a welcome session: a time led by our educators, featuring songs, storytelling, and opportunities to share experiences.
Inquiry comes to life in our symbolic classroom, with different areas designed to stimulate children’s natural curiosity. Play and exploration are the foundations of learning, and we provide our students with the opportunity to discover the world around them in a playful and safe way.
Outdoor activities are essential. Our facilities are designed to enable learning in open-air environments. Individual playgrounds, along with shared outdoor spaces, allow students to step outside the classroom and continue learning in a natural yet secure setting.
Our dedicated psychomotor classroom is designed to support students’ motor development, helping them become aware of their bodies and their range of movement. This promotes proper posture, coordination, balance, and strength development.
Class sizes are small, allowing for individualised attention. Close relationships with teachers are a hallmark of our school, and strong coordination with families ensures continuous and effective communication.
Creativity is present across all areas, but plays a particularly important role in our music programme, where students begin developing their musical skills through piano, violin, and music theory.
Our native English-speaking teachers expose students to the language from an early age—even before they begin speaking their mother tongue. In this way, children acquire English naturally, as if it were a second native language.
Language development is supported through the Ludiletras creative literacy programme, which teaches reading and writing in a playful, hands-on, and meaningful way. Ludiletras is based on the theory of multiple intelligences, stimulating different student abilities (visual, spatial, logical, etc.) throughout the literacy process.
Groups of 1 and 2 Years: A Neurological Stimulation Ecosystem
At CEDES School, our educational project for the first cycle of Early Childhood is based on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, understanding that each child has unique talents that must be nurtured from birth. Our goal is to transform natural curiosity into meaningful learning through an environment specifically designed for neurostimulation.
Cutting-Edge Facilities
Our centre offers a 20,000 m² space where every detail matters:
Learning Spaces: Spacious classrooms with natural light and separate buildings by levels.
Symbolic Play Classroom: A space dedicated to inquiry with the symbolic classroom, with different corners designed to stimulate curiosity and social and logical experimentation.
Psychomotricity Room: Fully equipped for the development of body awareness and coordination.
Contact with Nature: Individual playgrounds for each group, shared playgrounds and our school garden.

Flexible hours for 1 and 2-year-olds.
We are pleased to offer more families access to CEDES’ outstanding early years education through a flexible approach designed around everyday life.
To ensure our youngest learners feel secure, calm, and happy, we ask that they attend a core minimum of four hours per day. Beyond this, families have the flexibility to organise the rest of the day according to their needs, with the option to add additional hours when required.This model allows children to fully benefit from everything CEDES offers in the early years, while providing families with the flexibility needed to balance multiple commitments.
We also offer a lunch service, or alternatively a small supervision fee for children who bring their own packed lunch from home.
Our approach is designed to better support families with children in early years, making a high-quality CEDES education more flexible, accessible, and aligned with the realities of modern family life—without compromising what matters most: your child’s learning and the strong foundations we build from the very beginning.
