Aula de Ocio

What Aula de Ocio does

Aula de Ocio is a privately held Spanish educational and leisure services company headquartered in Sevilla, operating across four Andalusian provinces (Sevilla, Cádiz, Córdoba, and Huelva) with regional delegations in Huelva, Cádiz, Marchena, and Aljarafe. The company delivers extracurricular activities, before-school care (Aula Matinal), school dining management, urban camps (Campus Urbanos), ludotecas, sports schools, and themed animations directly on-site at contracted educational centers. Its core pedagogical framework is the proprietary ConVivo method, which is compatible with Montessori principles and treats emotional intelligence as a first-class learning outcome. An Innovation division layers in robotics workshops, virtual-reality classroom experiences delivered through a Vivirtual alliance and aligned to the Andalusian curriculum, chroma key production, school radio, and school-garden projects.

The business operates a B2B and B2G professional-services model: services are free to end-user families, while Aula de Ocio invoices schools, AMPAs, town councils (ayuntamientos), and the Junta de Andalucía directly under multi-year contracts. The company participates in the regional Programa Impulsa III (innovation/inclusion) and runs PROA/PROA+ government-funded reinforcement programs alongside its proprietary MÁS EQUIDAD equity initiative. Distribution is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with school directors, AMPA associations, and municipalities — supported by a website, blog, Facebook/LinkedIn presence, email newsletter, and an active job portal (Bolsa de Trabajo) used both for recruitment and brand visibility. The company is family-owned, registers as AULA DE OCIO, S.L., and has approximately 81 employees; revenue and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.
