​
When my daughter attended school—a very good British school—I began to recognise the limitations of traditional schooling. The fixed schedule, 25 children learning and doing exactly the same things, the lack of mobility, and the rigid regime all stood out to me. It was then that the idea of NYsKOOL was born.

Priyanka - Barcelona Hub Learning Coach
I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and my background brings together early childhood education and clinical training in behavioural science, including hands-on work supporting autistic children. Over the past two years I have worked as an early childhood educator here in Barcelona, and what that time taught me above all is this: every child grows when an adult truly sees them. Their pace, their curiosity, their own way of making sense of the world.
My approach is calm, warm and child-centred. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, understood and free to explore, and I love helping each one find the confidence to do things their own way.
In my free time, I love travelling and discovering new places, relaxing by the beach, and painting.
