Did You Know Little Pickle Press Has Books in Madrid, Spain?

By Karen Friedman


This is a unique Spanish school for young children from 0-6yrs old in the suburbs of Madrid, Spain. A warm, family environment pervades the natural surroundings. Set amidst old, large trees, El Ardal School offers creative, independent learning with an open-minded, loving approach.

There are a lot of international families in the school and many of the teachers are native English speakers. The children learn basic, educational skills, with emphasis on values such as inclusion, nature, caring for the environment, happiness etc. Within the school´s curriculum there are activities such as swimming, drama, art, psychomobility, nature study and English.

In a special area, there are workshops for both parents and children on the weekends and evenings, fostering arts and crafts plus cooking skills. Many interesting things can be found in our special area including cakes, homemade breads, silver jewelry, baby´s woolens, recycled furniture, as well as the lovely books from Little Pickle Press.
