Let your child be a kid a little longer

We offer an alternative (project based) to traditional early year schooling. A smaller and more family-like environment with bilingual teachers where children are allowed to be themselves.

Starting school at 3 feels too early for your child?

Although not mandatory, most Spanish families start their children at 3 in mainstream schools.

Yet you feel your little one isn’t ready for such a huge step, or that the style of learning and teaching won’t suit your child.

That’s why you wish you could find a way of making the absolute most of your child’s childhood.

To discover a place to transition from daycare to primary school with a gentle approach. 

That is fun and all about exploring, listening, and forming their own view of the world.

At Tembo early years in Barcelona, the brightness that lights your child’s eyes is our development measuring tape.

Tembo Tribe 3-5 is a fun service where children learn through experience, problem-solving and project work.

Teaching with a project-based method.

Based on real projects and on subjects that interest them. Where we work all areas that are included in the curriculum (language, maths, science, etc.).

Based on the child’s individual interests.

We adapt our teaching to the children instead of to the system. We guide your child at their own pace and welcome their energy.

Learning by “doing”

Your child learns more than facts, they touch, see, and explore the project to understand it.

Instilling life skills

They learn to listen, talk, think, and take part. They develop skills that will serve them in their education and life too.

Immersed in English and Spanish

To continue your child’s education in English and Spanish so they can settle nicely into school whether you remain in Barcelona or not.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to watch your child run beaming into early years?

Why choose Tembo Tribe 3-5 as an alternative to traditional education?

Hands-on experience

Outings are an important part of the projects, so the children can gather first-hand information from different sources. Museums, the beach, the botanical park…

Half-day – 9.00 am – 1.00 pm
