“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” Benjamin Franklin
Welcome to the Apple Tree Club! We are a creative English learning centre for international and Spanish children. Our objective is to provide a fun, creative and caring learning environment, while developing greater cultural awareness and English language skills in young children.
We are four English-speaking mums with many years of experience living and teaching English in Spain. As mums of little ones, we were concerned by the lack of flexible educational English activities on offer for children. We wanted a safe place where we could take our children a few times a week to play and learn with others. We also wanted an English speaking environment where we could meet other mums, relax and share experiences. Looking around we saw that there were many other families who were in search of the same, so we decided to set up the Apple Tree Club!
As the Apple Tree Club team, we combine years of experience teaching young children in the British Council, International House, a bilingual Montessori school and a British Nursery as well as training and teaching in the business world. We are English-speaking parents in a Spanish setting and we joyfully embrace our own children’s dual language abilities. However, at the Apple Tree Club our wish is to create an English speaking environment speckled with British and American stories, songs, games and traditions to blend with the children’s Spanish experience.
