«We are an association that is formed when several families come together to find a place where we can grow with our children. We are not united by any ideology, we are united by the conviction in love and respect as a basis for coexistence with all people, regardless of their age. Being able to accompany the growth of our children has made us grow too. We realized that everything can be done in various ways, that the most common does not have to be what we agree with. This has given us the opportunity to stop, reflect and discover ourselves. This is what has made us allow ourselves to forget everything we thought we knew and stay only with what we believe and feel. If you share our proposal, you already know where we are… you are welcome…” ALaire
More than 500 projects are part of LUDUS, web directory of alternative pedagogies in Spain. The number is growing, both in quantity and in desire to continue building other paths for learning.
In Tenerife, we have different initiatives. One of them is ALair, Space to Grow. A small house surrounded by trees and located in a unique environment up the La Esperanza road. A project born from the search for an alternative to traditional schooling, creating a space for accompany learning, from freedom, love and respect.
ALair opens your space to participate in several ways:
Kangaroo moms. Girls and boys up to 2 years of age, they will be able to enjoy the natural environment in freedom, always accompanied of their families. ALair It is a meeting space, where doubts, concerns, projects and particularities are exchanged. Relying on that bond of attachment, discovering, trying, manipulating, observing, experimenting and imitating... become authentic enjoyment for the senses.

Specially designed for those families who cannot remain in space and who are looking for a place where their daughters and sons can grow up lovingly cared for with an attachment figure to accompany them in their growth.
With companions. From 3 years old, can participate in the daily dynamics of ALaire (without needing to be accompanied by their family), respectfully cared for by companions in their daily work. facilitators and observers of development processes, with an attitude of listening, bonding, empathy and non-judgment, providing security and affection and adapting and adapting the spaces and the environment to the needs of each girl or boy.
Families accompanying. In ALair, it is essential that in learning related to motherhood and fatherhood and in accompanying the growth of children, it is possible to share experiences, hopes, fears, anecdotes, difficulties... with other families who are also walking towards respectful parenting in freedom.
They understand that the family is the fundamental nucleus in which boys and girls are nourished by the love and attachment they need to learn and grow. For this reason, they want to be a place of growth for children, but also for their mothers, fathers or relatives.
Therefore, they offer the opportunity to attend with children to participate, exchange, learn, observe, share, build, propose and nourish themselves from the space in nature, the support network, the experiences and experiences of the tribe, from the first months of age, since respectful parenting is a continuum from pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding... life.
