Kindergarten School in Madrid from 1 to 6 years old
Casvi Villaviciosa International Private School is an Kindergarten School in Madrid where we are aware of the importance of early schooling. It provides children with various benefits related to the development of cognitive, emotional and social skills. In addition, we believe it is essential to educate students for the challenges of the future due to the changing society in which we find ourselves. Technological, social or economic changes that require us to adapt continuously. Therefore, education from an early age plays a fundamental role in dealing with them.
We are facing a world in which borders are disappearing. Where multiculturalism is a key word in society. On the other hand, we are subjected to a high volume of information. That is why it is essential to develop critical thinking and global competencies. It is also important to introduce them to new languages such as English.
"What sets us apart from all the schools in Madrid is that we educate from our hearts. We put our heart, soul and vocation into everything we do".
Based on this, the educational project of the Eurocolegio Casvi International Private School is clearly committed to promoting lifelong learning, always in an environment of love, respect and security. It achieves this through the development, at all educational stages, of the International Baccalaureate methodology with the Continuum of Programmes (PYP, MYP and DP). This allows “learning to be, learning to know, learning to do and learning to live together” as proposed by UNESCO.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR STUDENTS AND THOSE OF OTHER KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS IN MADRID
According to research published in Science, children who attend a nursery school such as Casvi Villaviciosa, before starting primary school, obtain better grades in the long term. They also relate better than those who do not. This is because this is one of the most sensitive periods of brain development. During this stage early intervention and stimulation in a learning environment is very important. It is the educational cycle that contributes most to the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of the youngest children.
IB METHODOLOGY IN OUR KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL IN MADRID
From our Kindergarten School we are committed to prepare our students to perfection from this stage (PYP). The objective is that they reach the Diploma Programme (DP) passing through the Middle Years Programme (MYP) with all the guarantees of success. This will allow them to opt for a university education with the best qualifications.
As an Kindergarten School in Madrid, we have all the necessary learning tools to stimulate and develop the evolution of the little ones. All within the International Baccalaureate methodology. Inquiring, expressing, representing and sharing allow for a quality education based on values.
The aim is to strengthen their self-esteem, initiative and to recognise and motivate each child’s potential.
And we do not forget the world of emotions, which is especially important in this methodology. This is something that Casvi Villaviciosa works on so that the children acquire self-control skills so important for socialization and for their academic, personal, and professional future.
IB METHODOLOGY IN OUR KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL IN MADRID
At our kindergarten School in Madrid, individual needs are always respected. It is very important where they are in their development and maturity. For this reason they are provided, through stimulation, with what each one needs to consolidate the different learning processes, always with an attitude of enthusiasm and joy.
And although the IB methodology does not begin until the age of 3, in “our school we achieve this verticality by unifying what we put into practice from the moment our students are integrated into our school community, regardless of age,” says Ana de la Calle, coordinator of Early Childhood Education.
In addition, thanks to the internationality and interculturality of the school, which favors inclusion in the classroom, we also achieve the cross-culturality that characterizes the IB methodology.

"Advances in neuroscience show that it is during the first three years of a human being's life that the brain is 'built', creating more than a million neural connections every second."
These are the main benefits of early schooling for 0-3 year old students in our Casvi Villaviciosa Kindergarten:
- Acquisition of habits and routines. They do so in terms of sleep, nutrition, acquisition of small responsibilities, in everything related to self-esteem…

Mathematical skills. Our pupils from 0 to 3 years old have a mathematical stimulation programme. Thanks to it, they discover that maths is fun and that it is part of their life and environment; that it has meaning and significance. Thus, they work with numbers, quantification, reasoning, spatial orientation, temporal orientation…
Psychomotor skills. The discovery of the human body, the body schema and the world of the senses is very important in our Kindergarten. Hence, they are introduced to swimming when they are one year old. Thanks to this sport, new habits and routines are also created.
Artistic skills. Music and art are worked on from the age of 1 year. It is vital to discover their talent, sometimes hidden, from an early age.
Technological Skills. From the 1st Cycle they have an iPad Workshop with applications related to what they are working on in the classroom and that reinforce what they are learning. Very useful for the initiation to robotics that occurs in 4 years.
KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL IN MADRID (3-6 YEARS OLD): BENEFITS
At Casvi Villaviciosa International School, the 2nd Cycle of Infant Education is a continuation of the activity developed in the 1st Cycle. The benefits of early schooling for 3-6 year olds are also many:
MOST IMPORTANT BENEFITS
1. Language development. Thanks to this stimulation, research and thinking skills are developed. As was the case in the 1st Cycle, it is encouraged both in their mother tongue and in English. 100% in this language in the case of one of our 3-year lines. A tool that is developed through conversation and the learning of English phonetics using the “Jolly Phonics” method. A great job that they demonstrate in the Trinity assessment exams that take place at the school from the age of 4.
2. Acquisition of healthy habits, with collaboration and communication between family and school being fundamental.
3.Autonomy work. In our Kindergarten School in Madrid we encourage our pupils to be able to achieve things that are very important to them. To this end, they are given the opportunity to experiment in order to draw their own conclusions.
4. Literacy. All of the above allows their reasoning and comprehension to be fostered and the learning of reading and writing to be real from the age of 4. The moment the child understands something he has discovered because it is written down, that learning becomes faster and in a more effective way. This is also the case for the promotion of reading habits.
