Inspired to create an infant school with Peruvian-European methodology, in 2013 Pequeñas Semillas (Small Seeds) opened its doors to the children of Cusco and to those that come to live in Cusco.

Headmistress Lic. Dalia Aguayo Figueroa is an early childhood and primary education specialist. She studied at the ISPP Santa Rosa in Cusco and IES Miguel de Tarradell in Barcelona, later completing postgraduate studies at the Universitat de Barcelona. With over 20 years of teaching experience—as a play center coordinator and as headmistress in preschools and primary schools in both Cusco and Barcelona—Dalia is deeply committed to the development and happiness of every child at Pequeñas Semillas. After completing her studies in Barcelona, Maestra Dalia returned to her hometown to share with the children of Cusco the modern methodologies that are widely and successfully used in European preschools.

We educate children from infancy up to 5 years of age using an active Peruvian–European methodology. Our approach combines Peru’s functional educational methods with the European nursery model, where children build their own learning through early stimulation, routines, and play. Inspired by the pedagogical philosophies of María Montessori and Rosa Sensat, and their principle of “learning through play,” we focus on creating an environment where exploration and curiosity flourish. We believe that having a highly trained team is essential to ensuring the quality of education we offer. We take great care in selecting our materials and strive to use natural resources whenever possible, in line with Pequeñas Semillas’ commitment to sustainability and our desire to instill in children and their families a deep respect for their environment. We also organise day trips and visits to enrich the learning experience and make it more meaningful.

We now count on over 10 years of experience at Pequeñas Semillas.     We are the winners of the regional Green Flag award 2016, recognising our environmental projects of composting, recycling and planting beds.     We created our own curriculum in Quechua and English due to the lack of decent material at preschool level, the children at our school enjoy access to books developed by us with illustrations by Ana Burgos, Spain and patented with INDECOPI.     We maintain links with various non profit associations to better form sustainability in the local community, including: Club de Leones Cusco, Rotary Club Cusco, 2Ovejas y Qosqomposta     We have proudly supported the growth of hundreds of happy children and families at Pequeñas Semillas nursery in Cusco. We are honoured to have guided children who are well-prepared for life and ready to move confidently into the next stage of their development.
