CEI Elsedo – Public Early Childhood School
CEI Elsedo is a small-scale public early childhood school, located in a close and community-oriented environment.
It embraces a living and active pedagogy, with a careful and attentive approach to childhood, children’s rhythms, and their real needs.
The school follows an educational project currently in a process of renewal and improvement.
The centre is easily recognisable thanks to the artistic intervention on its façade, created by the artist Okuda San Miguel, which has become a distinctive feature of the building and a visual landmark within its surroundings.
Pedagogical foundations
Careful approach to childhood: children are understood as competent, curious and capable individuals.
Experiential and active learning: play, experimentation, exploration and direct experience.
