International Day Care Centers in Barcelona - for multilingual kids!

Hi SuiteLifers, Are you moving to Barcelona with your children? Are you already in Barcelona and you want your kids to be bilingual? Excellent. Have you considered International day care centers in Barcelona? Well, my people, you should. Let me tell you why and which are the best day care centers you can choose from. A child's ability to learn multiple languages at a very young age is simply amazing. Young kids' brain capacities are completely fresh and able to take in a lot of information and therefore, language comprehension is so much easier for them. They are like sponges! We of course want to nurture our little guys and gals because knowing multiple languages is an incredibly useful trait for them in terms of communication and enriching their career prospects. I've decided to make sure you have a choice between the best International day care centers in Barcelona.

Noah's Ark International Day Care Center

This day care center is all about diversity. Noah's Ark welcomes all children from different cultures and backgrounds. Which means that alongside your toddler's studies your child will learn to interact with other children, teaching it to appreciate and understand the importance of equality in the long-run. The center is concentrated in teaching children English while teaching Spanish is also present in the child's curriculum in a lighter manner. Noah's Ark is one of the  successful International day care centers in Barcelona. Its success and fine reputation is strongly connected with the parents relationship the center aims to maintain. You as a parent will be highly involved in the center's activities and frequent feedback from you is used to help improve their services in order to suit your child's needs. This day care center's love for children is strong and because of that they provide constant monitoring of the children's progress and well-being. Parents are presented with two evaluation reports a year providing feedback on the level of performance of their child. While these evaluation reports are officially done only twice a year, parents have the freedom to check on their child's well-being regularly or as much as they need to.
Noah's Ark is big on physical activities too. Once a week they provide optional swimming lessons for the kids to teach them how to be aware and feel safe outside and inside of the water. In accordance wit this, the center has an enormous garden with lots of green areas, sandboxes, swings and slides to ensure the children are active and entertained. Classes are divided by the age of the children. Below, you can see the children - teacher ratio in the different age groups:

• Baby group (4 to 12 months) 6 babies 3:1 ratio
• Yellow Class (12 to 18 months) 12 toddlers 6:1 ratio
• Green Class (18 to 26 months) 14 toddlers 7:1 ratio
