Stay & Play Mornings for EYFS

A gentle first step into Early Years at International School Costa Brava

A warm and unhurried morning where children explore, play and feel at home — and families discover what learning in Early Years truly feels like at International School Costa Brava.

What are Stay & Play Mornings?

The first experiences of school matter.

Our Stay & Play Mornings are designed to offer families a calm and welcoming space where children aged 2 to 6 years can explore at their own pace, while families observe, participate and connect with our Early Years environment.

For one hour, learning unfolds naturally through play, curiosity and shared moments — just as it does every day in our Early Years classrooms.

Who is it for?

  • Families already part of the school with children aged 2 to 6.

  • External families who would like to get to know the school and its educational approach.

Children do not need to be enrolled at the school to attend.

No English? No problem.

Your child does not need to speak English to take part.

Our team is experienced in welcoming children from all language backgrounds and will support them at all times, ensuring they feel safe, included and confident.

More than a visit: discovering our Early Years philosophy

Early Years at International School Costa Brava is about much more than preparing children for school. It is about helping them feel safe, confident and curious — laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

Forest School

Our approach is inspired by the EYFS framework, where learning happens through play, relationships and meaningful experiences. We focus on:

  • Emotional wellbeing and security
  • Learning through exploration and play
  • Respecting each child’s rhythm and individuality
  • Strong, trusting relationships between children, families and teachers

 

Stay & Play Mornings are an invitation to experience this philosophy in a real, everyday context.

Choosing a school is an important decision.
We believe the best way to understand our Early Years is to experience it — calmly, openly and together.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child.
