Private preschool in Valencia, ages 3–6

The early years matter most.
We take good care of them.

At Ausiàs March we understand that the first years of school are not simply the beginning of an academic journey: they are the foundation for everything that follows. That is why our private preschool programme in Valencia is designed so that every child feels safe, known, and motivated from day one.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. We get to know each child individually, adapt to their pace, and commit to making sure your child is happy to come to school every day. That is not a slogan: it is what families tell us. 9/10 in our annual Voice of Parents 2024 survey.

🤝
A warm, trusting, and secure environment
We create a space where every child feels listened to and valued. The relationship between teacher and student is built on genuine care, not hierarchy. That has been our hallmark since 1972.
🌍
Cultural diversity from an early age
More than 20 nationalities share our campus. Children learn from an early age to understand and respect other cultures, developing a global outlook in a completely natural way.
🧠
Learning that goes beyond the classroom
We use play as a core tool. Experimentation, enquiry, and creativity are the engine of our preschool programme.
👤
Personalised education from age 3
We design learning experiences tailored to each child's stage of development. No child advances at the pace of the class: the class advances at the pace of each child.

Bilingual programme

English is not a subject.
It is half the school day.

50% of the preschool school day is taught in English, not as an after-school class, not as extra support, but as a genuine working language from the very first day of school.

  • 50% of the school day in English from age 3. Children acquire the language naturally through immersion, not memorisation. By age 6, when they move to Primary, they already have a solid, real foundation.
  • Real continuity through to age 18. The English developed in preschool is the same foundation that takes our students to the IB Diploma and into international universities such as Toronto and Hong Kong.

Our own multilingual programme
Beyond English, the Ausiàs March multilingual programme introduces French or German as a second foreign language from Primary, and Mandarin as an elective. Children who begin in preschool arrive at Bachillerato with three languages.

Teaching methodology

Teachers as
designers of experiences.

We do not teach children to repeat. We teach them to think, explore, and build knowledge. In preschool, that starts with play and ends with children who arrive in Primary already knowing how to learn independently.

01
Multiple intelligences and active learning
Every child has their own map of abilities. Our approach starts from that map to design experiences that spark curiosity, motivation, and critical thinking from age 3.
Active methodology
02
Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Children do not memorise content: they build it. Through collaborative projects they learn to research, reason, and work as a team from the earliest stage.
PBL · Cooperative learning

The Emocionándote Project

Emotional education.
Twice a week.

In preschool we dedicate 2 weekly sessions of 45 minutes to social and emotional learning, not as a one-off activity, but as a structural part of our educational programme. Because there is no learning without emotion.

🧘
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques
Weekly sessions adapted for children aged 3 to 6, designed to develop self-awareness and emotional regulation from early childhood.
🌿
Yoga and body awareness
Body and mind are worked on together. Children's yoga improves concentration, coordination, and emotional wellbeing in our youngest students.
❤️
SEL: social and emotional learning
Self-awareness, self-management, empathy, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The five competencies that stay with our students for life.

Why Ausiàs March

There are many private bilingual schools.
This one is different.

Any school can call itself bilingual. What not every private preschool in Valencia can say is that it has spent 53 years building a community where children are happy, teachers know every student by name, and families trust the long-term project.

Teacher-student relationship: 8.9/10 family satisfaction
Not hierarchical. Built on genuine care, real knowledge of each child, and mutual respect. It has been our hallmark since the school opened in 1972, and what families value most.
