Geco Kids Educational Project
Nature School in...nature!
Nestled in the heart of Villanueva de la Vera, Cáceres, Spain, Geco Kids Educational Project stands as a beacon of immersive nature-based learning. Our unique educational approach revolves around the principles of forest school or nature school, cultivating an environment where children's individual spirits are honored, and their physical, cognitive, and emotional growth is nurtured through an authentic connection with the natural world.
Surrounded by a breathtaking landscape teeming with diverse flora, including pines, oaks, lavender, rosemary, and more, Geco Kids is not just a school but a sanctuary where children engage with the wonders of nature. With our own organic garden and a commitment to meaningful, developmentally relevant experiences, Geco Kids Educational Project is dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of life through unstructured play, outdoor excursions, seasonal decorations, artistic endeavors with natural elements, and the sharing of traditional stories.
Step into Geco Kids, where the forest becomes the classroom, and nature is the teacher, guiding each child on a journey of discovery and growth in harmony with the world around them.

Interdisciplinary Teaching
Forest Pedagogy, at the heart of our educational philosophy, immerses children in a holistic and hands-on learning experience within a natural setting. Unlike traditional methods, we prioritize rich, sensory encounters that deepen their understanding of the environment.
In our forest-based education, we draw inspiration from the intricate web of life, exemplified in the exploration of the significance of bees. For instance, in primary education, children observe a real beehive, engage hands-on with beeswax, and express creativity through art and storytelling. This multifaceted approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the natural world, enriching their educational journey.
Join us in the captivating world of Forest Pedagogy, where education is a harmonious exploration of the wonders nature unfolds.
