Quality foreign language teaching in kindergarten is one of our priorities. Each class has its own foreign teacher, so the children learn English and Spanish in varying proportions at both formal and informal levels. We focus on supporting children's brain development and building a solid foundation for future foreign language learning. Our preschool prepares children for a multicultural world where it is important to be open-minded and flexible.

We value communication based on trust, respect, and dignity. We promote mutual respect between adults and children by encouraging information sharing, feedback, choice, acceptance of the child’s emotions, and participation in problem-solving.
Snoezelen is a specially adapted room designed to provide either stimulating or relaxing experiences (depending on the intended approach with children) through light, sound, tactile, and other sensory inputs—creating a multisensory environment. Activities in the Snoezelen room allow children to experience things that are not possible in a regular classroom—like exploring outer space, the underwater world, Antarctica, and much more. The environment itself is a source of motivation for the children.
We focus on the development of the "happy child" concept where children learn to develop the strengths of their personality, psychological resilience, gratitude, positive emotions, and the creation of positive social relationships or living in the "flow". The concept of a happy child is most effectively achieved with a "happy teacher". Our teachers are therefore guided to work according to the principles of positive psychology, so it’s important to us that children feel happy, safe and calm in the kindergarten. When a happy teacher creates a positive environment for children, children learn efficiently and achieve progress.
The main goal of spending time in nature is to shape children's personalities and deepen their connection with the natural world. Being in the forest awakens the senses, boosts immunity, calms the mind, and fosters imagination, empathy, and humility. Nature and the forest environment are essential and inseparable parts of the educational process, which is why we aim for children to spend a significant portion of their time in preschool outdoors.
