A different kind of school
Alaria Nursery Schools was founded in 1974 as one of the main nursery schools in Madrid with the aim of becoming a benchmark in education for children from 0 to 6 years of age in order to help the cerebral and linguistic development of its pupils. It also has its own kitchen, large gardens and playgrounds.
Alaria International Nursery Schools counts on a team of qualified teachers who love their work and ensure that children enjoy their day to day while improving their learning. It is much more than a nursery school in Madrid, Alaria is a nursery school with a complete learning programme for children up to the age of 6, based on a methodology and an environment that favours early childhood education.
Throughout this time we have been evolving, adapting to the demands and social changes, being a pioneering school in the application of new methods and educational techniques in order to achieve the integral formation of our pupils. To achieve this, we have not only magnificent facilities, but also the necessary teaching resources and, above all, an extraordinary team of professionals of great human quality who, together with their excellent teaching preparation, have extensive experience and a marked vocation for the world of children. This allows them to give themselves completely to the children, providing them with the necessary attention so that they feel loved, protected and cared for, and can fully develop all the essential factors for their good socialisation, education and emotional development.
Our aim is to make children feel happy and self-confident, and to this end we have created an affectionate environment in which they can develop to their full potential. We also want parents, when they leave their children at our schools, to feel at ease and see us as an extension of their home.
In this journey we have discovered that the best way for a child to develop and become autonomous is to respect his or her personal rhythm, taking great care to give individual attention to each child, and encouraging continuous stimulation for the acquisition of attitudes through play, which will facilitate the development of his or her personality in a harmonious environment. Only in this way will the child be able to develop fully at all levels.

Our Team & Community
Our team is the key to the success of our Nursery Schools. The people who make Alaria Nursery Schools possible on a daily basis are not only perfectly qualified and coordinated professionals; they are also a team with a solid human background, compact and lively, in which each member feels secure.
All of them, committed to their work, believe in quality as a work philosophy and, through their efforts, and with an open and flexible attitude, make their work a daily success. Thus, they do not care, but educate in all areas, without rushing, being aware that affection, effort, responsibility and respect are the key to shape the lives of their pupils.
Our team is made up of experts in infant education, psycho-pedagogy, child psychology, paediatrics, nutrition, psychomotor skills, music and plastic arts. In addition, the adaptation of our pedagogical project to English is carried out by these professionals together with the ‘Alaria Nursery Schools English Team’, made up of native British and Spanish bilingual professionals and led by our bilingual project coordinator, who achieve perfect harmony in the natural exposure of the children to both languages from the age of 0. All of them have a young and dynamic mentality which, in many cases, is combined with a long experience acquired over the years in our centres.
