It is a place of cultural interference, where different languages, religions and civilizations are intertwining, which is reflected in the events and programs that the school prepares for children.
The school offers an educational program in Czech, English and French.
Language education is provided by native speakers.
We also offer the possibility of combining education in two language classes, for ex. three days in a Czech class and two days in English class.
We take care of children with a different mother tongue and pay them special attention.
We respect the individual abilities and needs of the child, we use various methods and forms of work. And in order to achieve this goal, the capacity of each kindergarten class is limited to a maximum of 12 children per class.
We support a healthy lifestyle, respect for life and the environment, we pay great attention to ecology and respect for nature.
We offer Baby studio services for children from 1 year of age/1 year old.
