About Us
CEP Mafalda’s multidisciplinary team, work towards enhancing the personal growth and development of young children, adolescents and adults in the following three specialist areas:
1. CEP MAFALDA NURSERY
At CEP Mafalda we believe in psychomotor education through action and movement, stimulating children early in their lives. We focus on the development of infants from 0-3 years and our nursery is divided into the following classes:
- Baby Room: 6-12 months
- 2x Toddler Rooms: 12-18 months and 18-24 months
- 2x Pre-school Rooms: 24-30 months and 30-36 months
The nursery operates throughout the year, from 7:30 in the morning to 17:00 in the afternoon. Children can also eat and sleep here. In addition, we run a Summer School for children from 3-6 years old.
Our centre is apolitical, secular and plural. We believe in equality, tolerance and respect for all without discrimination. Our classes are taught in Spanish and we have some of the lowest child ratios in Ibiza. Our objective is to provide support to parents looking to raise their child in a nurturing and stimulating environment. Our Partnership with Parents aims to maximise your child’s personal development, through joint communication, cooperation and participation with parents.

Our History
CEP Mafalda is a privately owned, Early Childhood Center, authorised by the Education Department of the Balearic Government, since November 2008
CEP Mafalda first opened in 1980 and was previously located in the district of Es Viver, Eivissa. In 2004, we moved to Playa d’en Bossa, San Jordi, San Jose, adapting to the rules set by the Department of Education for nursery schools. Currently the centre is located in a 400m2 building with an outside space of 460m2.
In 2001 the current management team took over the nursery and in addition to offering the nursery school education, began to offer Psicopraxis courses, as well as support and therapy to children, parents and adults.
Our team have trained and taught people to obtain their Master degrees in Psicopraxis. We were also responsible for working with San Jose Town Hall to introduce psychomotor methodology to their schools, in 2002. CEP Mafalda is currently the only Psychomotor centre in Ibiza.
The nursery school, Psicopraxis and Psychomotor and Psychotherapy services make up what CEP Mafalda is today.
