What is El Petit Edén?

El Petit Edèn is a child-centred educational project set in nature in Sant Pere de Ribes (Garraf, Barcelona) for children aged 2.5 to 9. We support each child’s overall development, working closely with families to create safe environments and offering attentive, empathetic guidance that respects their individual rhythms, needs and developmental journey.

Our guiding principles

How we support children, every day.

Respectful guidance

We offer attentive, empathetic support, respecting each child’s individual rhythms and needs.

Nature and free play

The woodland is our classroom: a place for play, exploration and hands-on learning every day.

We nurture children’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive development in everyday life.

Whole-child development
Independence and confidence

We encourage children to grow into confident, curious individuals who feel able to take initiative.

A safe environment

Thoughtful routines, clear boundaries and consistent support help children feel secure and held.

Families and the educational team work together to build a coherent, living project.

Community and co-creation
