Our Mission

We are committed to providing children the highest quality of education.

Our approach combines active Peruvian–European teaching methods. It is grounded in functional Peruvian educational practices and enriched by the European model, where young children build their own learning through early stimulation, routines, and play. We are inspired by the pedagogical philosophies of María Montessori and Rosa Sensat, embracing their belief in “learning through play.”

 

We believe that highly trained staff are essential to delivering excellent education. At Pequeñas Semillas, we prioritize the use of natural materials in support of our commitment to sustainability, helping children and their families develop values that respect and care for their environment. We also organize excursions and field visits to make learning meaningful and connected to life in the Andes.

INFORMATION 2026

¡ LETS GROW THE SEEDS !

Our preschool, nursery or kindergarten is located in the heart of Cusco. Here, we care for and educate children from infancy up to 6 years of age. With 13 years of experience, we have lovingly guided hundreds of children, preparing them for the next stage of their educational journey.

 

Unfortunately, our current location no longer offers space for growth. Each year, many families who wish to continue with us through primary and secondary school must seek other institutions, as we are unable to expand within the city.

These limitations motivate us to grow. Allowing students to continue their development within the same methodology throughout their childhood is a significant advantage—not only for them, but for society as a whole.

For this reason, we are launching Pequeñas Semillas Yucay! In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, we have found a space where we can build an educational project that allows our school to continue expanding while also supporting and benefiting the local community. We are looking to fulfil the project independently and with the help of international volunteers. Find out more here

Languages: British English & Quechua

Languages: British English & Quechua

We give classes in Quechua and British English, with our own curriculum to assure the children to have a good start in languages at preschool level. The children from 3 to 5 years old have an hour a day of English or Quechua in which they develop a second language through symbolic and playful activities. Upon leaving the nursery the infants have gained some 100 words in their vocabulary of English and Quechua. The Quechua books were elaborated with the Spanish illustrator Ana Burgos (elzeppelindeana.com), these are copyright protected by INDECOPI.
