Seville, the capital of Andalusia, combines Spain’s structured early childhood education system with a strong cultural heritage. In line with the “Educación Infantil” framework ([Reference 1]), Seville offers universal and free access to the second cycle (ages 3–6), with a curriculum centered on emotional, language, and social development.
The Andalusian government implements additional measures through the “Plan de Atención a la Diversidad” ([Reference 2]), providing tailored support for children with special educational needs (SEN) and ensuring inclusive education across public preschools (“Escuelas Infantiles”).
In Seville, cultural education is also emphasized from an early age. Programs often integrate local traditions such as music, dance (including flamenco), and storytelling to foster children’s cultural identity and expressive skills ([Reference 3]).
As a kindergarten director, I find Seville’s holistic approach—nurturing both the mind and the spirit through academic, emotional, and cultural education—a powerful model of how early learning can root children deeply in their heritage while preparing them for a diverse, global society.
