Daycare

Daily structure and themes

At Kidzz we offer a fixed daily structure with a perfect balance between free play and structured group activities.

We start every day with a circle time (click here to take a look at our circle time) in which we greet all children and teachers, but we also discuss who may not be there. We cover the days of the week and the weather through songs and dances. We then do an activity that fits our theme at that moment.

At Kidzz we make sure that every day is varied and fun, so that your child always discovers and experiences something new!

Our

Activities

Playing outside

Every day after eating fruit, we take the children outside because we believe that playing outside is essential for their motor development. During outdoor play, the children can move freely, jump, run, and climb, which improves their coordination and balance. Additionally, sufficient fresh air contributes to better sleep patterns and improved memory. With our two Winther Turtle Kiddy buses, we visit one of the many parks in the area daily, allowing the children to discover new environments each time.

Swimming lessons Penguins barcelona

An activity that we have been particularly proud of for 8 years is the weekly, optional swimming lesson at the Penguins Barcelona swimming pool, Bonanova location. These swimming lessons are accessible to children from 16 months old. The children are safely transported by a private bus from our square to the swimming pool and back to Kidzz. The swimming lessons start in October and continue until the last week of the school year. Each trimester, we organize an open lesson together with Penguins, where parents are allowed to come and watch.

Library visits

At Kidzz, we have a love for reading. We take the children on a journey through the wonderful world of books every day. Whether during free play or in group settings, books are always present and play an important role in the lives of our children at Kidzz.

When we read aloud, the children discover how a language is structured. They learn how sentences are formed, what rules exist, and how they can use them to express themselves. Listening to stories opens the door to another world full of fantasy and adventure. Reading not only enriches a child’s language but is also essential for their social development.

Every month, we look forward with great enthusiasm to our visit to the Jaume Fuster Library on Plaza Lesseps.

Allotment garden Jardí del Silenci

Once a month, we visit the magically hidden allotment garden Jardí del Silenci in Gràcia. Here, the children discover the importance of flowers, plants, and trees for our health. They help with the care of the garden and, in a playful way, learn about the craft of gardening. These activities not only nurture their love for nature but also teach them the importance of environmental care and sustainability.

After school English classes

We offer weekly after-school English classes from October through the end of June every Tuesday from 5:15 to 6:15 pm. These classes are structured to expand English vocabulary through play. We use language games and interactive group activities that not only improve language skills, but also contribute to the children’s social development.

Each trimester consists of 12 lessons. In addition, our Easter and summer camp, provides an excellent opportunity to intensively apply the knowledge gained. For children who have previously participated in Kidzz daycare, this is an ideal way to maintain their English language skills. The playful approach makes it easy for new children to integrate and enjoy participating.
