Early Years in Madrid
Why Choose Willoughby?
At Willoughby International School, we support children aged 2 to 6 during a crucial stage of their development, creating an environment where they feel happy, safe and cared for. Through play, exploration and everyday experiences, we nurture their curiosity and help them reach their full potential, always respecting each child’s individual pace and stage of development.
Our Approach to Early Years Education
In our I2 classroom, all teaching and learning take place in English. From the age of three, we follow a balanced bilingual model, with 50% of learning in English and 50% in Spanish.
We place particular importance on movement and psychomotor development, which are essential for building independence and supporting learning. That is why we focus on practical, creative and hands-on activities, using screens sparingly and only when necessary. We always prioritise play, experimentation and direct interaction with the world around us.
