Get to know our school
Welcome

El Cargol

El Cargol nursery school is an early-childhood educational centre with a living pedagogy and a project designed to support our children from 0 to 3 years of age in every area of their development. It is privately owned and recognised by the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya under number 08052104.

Our centre works to make family and work life easier, offering children and their families a space for growth and trust — a rich, welcoming environment where love and care come before everything else. We have a stable, committed team full of initiative: a team eager to create a safe and welcoming environment and to support every child as they grow.

Sant Jordi Park

We have a privileged outdoor space that allows us to organise outings, discovery activities and moments of play in the open air. The park becomes an educational resource that complements the work of the centre and offers children an ideal environment to explore, observe and learn in contact with nature.

Enrolment open all year round

We offer flexibility so that every family can enrol their child whenever they need to. Our centre keeps enrolment open throughout the year so we can adapt to each situation and make access to our educational project easier.

A trilingual school

We are a school where Catalan, Spanish and English coexist naturally. We work on multilingual communication from earliest childhood so that children become familiar with different languages through play, daily routines and their everyday surroundings.

Experiential learning

We offer a varied methodology built around play to make learning real and useful — listening to and getting to know the children in order to understand their interests and adapt to their needs.

We have play areas and materials adapted to children’s different ages and needs, in order to develop their independence and self-sufficiency as fully as possible.

Adapted spaces

Trust and family involvement

We support and accompany families in their children’s education, seeking consistency between home and school, nurturing mutual trust and ensuring high-quality, participatory communication.

We have our own kitchen where we prepare all the children’s meals every day. We offer balanced, high-quality food based on fresh, seasonal produce.

Real experiences

I've been taking my son there since he was 8 months old. All the teachers and educators are very friendly. It's a very family-oriented preschool. And something essential for me is the great trust they instill in you in every aspect. Margarita's food is amazing; besides being homemade, she's a real whiz at it. And something I loved is that they invite parents to different activities: snacks, gardening workshops, traditional celebrations, Sant Jordi's Day, and Three Kings' Day. Plus, it's located opposite Parc Sant Jordi and the museum, which makes it easy to go on excursions and everything!

Delighted! It's been a year of great learning for my son. Thank you to everyone, and especially to Marissa, Laia, and Lucía, who planted a seed in my son's heart. Thank you for your dedication and love. I highly recommend this preschool. I'm leaving very happy and would definitely choose El Caracol again.

A big little family! El Cargol has been a safe and trusted space for my daughter since day one. She always leaves with a smile and a backpack full of experiences, learning and lots of affection. Without a doubt, highly recommended 🙂

Our experience with this center has been excellent during the three years our son has been there. Thank you to Laia, Anna, Marisa, Mireia, and the entire team for their dedication, professionalism, care, sensitivity, and support towards the children.
My son was there from seven months old, and they have a really warm and friendly atmosphere. The teacher, Miriam, is very affectionate with the little ones, and my baby was so happy to hug her as soon as he saw her. The director is incredibly approachable and very knowledgeable about answering all the questions we mothers have. In the I2 class, they do a wide variety of activities, always respecting the developmental pace, and they are very well organized and fun. With their teacher, Marisa, they learn about developmental and sensory aspects. My son was very happy there. The homemade food was also very good; he ate everything.

Genial! Super recomendable!!! Mi hija ha estado un curso (p2) en este centro y estamos muy contentos. Trato inmejorable. Las profesoras todas un encanto (Ari en concreto es lo más, nos encanta) Gracias por todo!!!
Hem portat les nostres dues filles i no podem estar més contents!! La prova d’això és que encara ara no tenen ganes de marxar de l’escola bressol. Tracte proper i molt familiar. Estem encantats!
El Cargol és una escola molt familiar on hi em estat encantats des del primer dia. Disposa d'un personal inmillorable que ha marcat a la nostra filla i han fet que tingui moltes ganes d'anar-hi.

Fan moltes activitats per estimular als nens, les joguines que tenen són de fusta....la directora súper maca i les educadores un encant.
