Our story
BCN-Kinder is a non-profit organisation founded in 2002 as a parents’ association.
Our multicultural nursery project was initiated by a group of German, Spanish & Catalan parents looking for a multilingual and pedagogic alternative to current education.
Ever since, we have been a home to kids from various cultural backgrounds.
About us
Our philosophy is Montessori-inspired
Our mixed age playrooms follow a «discovery» model, where children learn from working with educational materials rather than by direct instructions.
The children move freely between different activity areas and decide where they want to engage.
Throughout the year we work on different themes where our children learn about themselves and the world around them.
We foster self-aware, independent
and Happy Children
What we value in our daily work:
Free Play
Free play is essential! Both outdoors with natural materials and surroundings, and indoors with our toys. So that children develop autonomy and make their own decisions.
We facilitate introspection and external perception according to the predisposition of the children.
Holistic learning
Each month the children are learning about important topics in an age-appropriate, playful and stress-free way. About the human body, animals, the 4 seasons. Through games, songs, painting, reading and listening, excursions and experiments.
outdoor time
Outdoor play is not only important for our childrens’ motor and mental development, but also a fun way to meet other children and animals.
The children spend two days in the Ludoteca of Ciutadella Park, we undertake regular excursions to the beach, the zoo, museums, exhibitions and other nearby attractions.
Multilingual and diversity
Most of our children grow up in bilingual or multilingual families and learn how to playfully use different languages and experience various cultures.
From an early age, they enjoy an open-minded and international environment.
In each group we have a native German and a native Spanish teacher, both speaking English.
Respect
We create spaces for children where they feel safe and where everyone’s needs and rhythms are respected.
Development
We support children in developing their capacities, autonomy and self-esteem.
Openness
We promote openness towards our social context, different cultures and our surroundings.
