Between Torremolinos and Fuengirola one of the best bilingual nurseries is the Peter Pan nursery school established in 1993 in Arroyo de la Miel in Benalmadena where children are familiarized with two languages (English and Spanish) and learn important social skills from an early age. We specialise in pre-school education using some of Maria Montessory's methods, heuristic play, puerile centricsm, etc. A set sleep time is introduced after lunch. Each child's ability is taken into consideration and their hapiness is our main concern. We pride ourselves on offering the best possible start for children with a highly qualified, experienced team of professionals, all of whom undergo yearly health checks. Tel: 952 562 103
