All children must be up to date on their vaccinations, except for children in the compulsory pre-school year.

Our school accept children from 6 months old to 6-7 years old (preschoolers) through the all academic year.

Yes, the kindergarten is registered with the Ministry of Education.

We currently do not offer this option.

We use the Twigsee system, which allows us to send parents individual messages during the adaptation program, photos of daily activities, special events, and important information about the nursery school's operation. Parents use it to inform school about pupil absence.

We ask parents to respect the school rules and the health of others. No, we are not allowed to give medication by law.

The maximum class size is 10 children.

Yes, children can attend the nursery school even if they still wear diapers, cannot walk yet, or cannot eat on their own. The nursery school is fully equipped for this and is staffed accordingly.

Before entering the kindergarten, we ask parents to provide the license plate of their car, which they will use to transport their child to the kindergarten. We then pass this information on to the City Hall, which will issue us a summary permit to enter the nature park.

Yes, Czech language lessons are offered to children in the pre-school year.

Yes, but we do offer czech lessons and preschooler class is biligual (voluntary for foreigners).

It is not a problem if your child does not speak English. Children learn English through play, and they will gradually learn to understand and speak the language.

Their lack of English isn't a problem. Children learn through play, understanding first, then speaking. Some even learn to think in English, aiding correct sentence structure.

Our adaptation program is invidividual for each family according to their needs and also all things that children needs to thive (like security, stability, consistensy, emotional support, love, education…) We cooperate with parents on every day bases to know all possible changes that might affect the adaptation program (lack of sleep, sickness, any change of daily routine at home- visitors, reconstruction, moving…) The first day, the child spends the school day with the parent, Later on the child spends more time without the parent in the classroom/kindergarten but the parent can stay at school. During this time, progress updates and photos are sent via Twigsee. And at the end of AP child is able to separate from parent without any difficulities. It usually takes about two weeks to settle down in their first school in case there is any previous experience it could be even faster.

The adaptation program is unique to each child and parent's needs. On the first day, the child attends with the parent. Gradually, the time the child spends in the kindergarten without the parent in the classroom or on the premises increases. During this period and the parent's absence, we regularly send photos and progress updates through the Twigsee program. In practice, this means: On the first day, the child arrives with the parent and leaves after two hours of the program in the classroom. The next day, the stay at the kindergarten is extended. However, the parent leaves the room for the last guided activity to help the child develop an attachment to one of the teachers who will care for them. If the child cries, we strive to comfort them according to the parent's advice or our experience. After a while, the parent returns, and they both go home. In the following days, the number of activities the child completes without the parent increases until only the morning drop-off and goodbye remain.

The adaptation program is for new children for the first two months. The actual adaptation itself is usually much shorter, but it naturally varies based on the individual child.

This situation is very individual. Children accustomed to being with a nanny or babysitter generally cope better than children strongly attached to one or both parents. Some children take weeks to get used to it, while others surprise their parents by sending them home because they no longer need them and can stay in the kindergarten alone.

The kindergarten is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Morning attendance is usually necessary during the adaptation program. However, most parents then choose full-day attendance. We do not offer an afternoon-only program, as most educational activities take place in the morning.

Yes, for lunch, our supplier will send us a separate dietary version of the lunch. We will take care of snacks after consultation with the parents (regarding preferences for specific foods). However, it is also possible for the parent to bring their own food.

The current supplier of lunches is Jídelna na Krejcárku. We prepare snacks ourselves in the kindergarten. Every day, the children have a "sweet and savory" snack supplemented with fresh vegetables and fruit.
