Nursery
The nursery is the baby’s first contact with school and therefore this stage requires warmth, safety, and stimuli appropriate to their development.
At Colleman, we combine affectionate care with the introduction of bilingualism from the earliest years of life, taking advantage of the phase when the brain is most receptive to new languages. Daily contact with a second language happens naturally, playfully, and through the senses, fostering not only communication but also cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development...
Caring in Every Way
For us, the child is at the center of learning.
Welcoming and the involvement of families and educators in the educational process are treated by Colleman
as a core value and are essential to building the bond between child and educator.

Educational technology – digital resources that enhance learning and bring students and teachers closer.
Collaboration and formative assessment – learning built together, with continuous assessments, constant feedback, and personalized review roadmaps, ensuring progress throughout the process.

Bilingual Education in the Nursery
The first years of life are when a baby’s brain is most open to stimuli. In this period, learning a second language happens naturally, simply, and spontaneously.
At the Colleman Nursery, bilingualism is introduced in a playful and caring way through songs, stories, games, and everyday interactions. In this way, the baby not only becomes familiar with two languages from early on, but also develops:
• Greater cognitive capacity and memory
• Ease of communication in the future
• Stimulated creativity and problem-solving
• Greater cultural and social sensitivity
At Colleman, bilingualism starts from the cradle, preparing each child for an increasingly connected world.
How the Nursery Works
Every detail is designed to ensure the baby’s well-being and holistic development. We combine safety, affectionate care, and a structured routine with bilingual stimuli that make learning natural from the very first years of life.
100% English immersion all the time
From the earliest years, students have continuous contact with English in all interactions throughout the day. This natural immersion ensures the second language is acquired spontaneously and consistently, preparing them to communicate with confidence in any context.
Full-time nurse
We have a dedicated nurse who monitors the children’s well-being throughout the entire school day. She performs essential care, such as changing diapers and sanitizing bottles, ensuring safety, hygiene, and peace of mind for families.
Nutritionist in charge
A specialized nutritionist oversees students’ diets, planning balanced menus and recording daily reports in the digital agenda. This way, parents can closely follow the eating routine and be sure their children are well cared for.
Camera monitoring
For greater transparency and safety, the school’s environments are monitored by cameras. This measure provides peace of mind to families and reinforces our commitment to students’ integrity and well-being.
Preparing to be a global citizen
From the nursery onward, we encourage values, skills, and experiences that prepare children to become global citizens, able to connect, respect, and transform the world around them.
