Why join us?
- Children are encouraged to learn English and we also show them that it can be as pleasant and as easy as learning their mother tongue. They are immersed in English in a natural way throughout 4 hours of classes a day. English accompanies children during art, music and dance, exercise and fitness, lunch and play in the garden.
- Classes are run by experienced native-speaker teachers who constantly speak English to the children, therefore kids quickly acquire correct pronunciation, accent, vocabulary and useful phrases.
- In our kindergarten we use the Content and Language Integrated Learning method. It means our children learn English as a second language through topics, subjects and everyday situations and activities in life.
- Children break the language barrier very quickly and within a few months, they start experimenting with the language and speaking English.
- We lead nursery groups for 1-2½ year old children with some English weekly.
- The all-around development of children is stimulated depending on their inherited potential as well as development opportunities.
- The educational program is provided in the Polish and English language, based on First Steps’ educational program.
- Only highly qualified and educated Polish and English language staff are employed.
- Exposure to new cultures through interactions with foreign teachers and children creates a stimulating learning environment.
- The atmosphere of respect, acceptance and safety is crucial and supported by all.
- We lead “0” classes by preparing children carefully to enter school.
- Class sizes are kept small creating positive experiences for the children.
- We take care of children with allergies. Our kindergarten has been designed to minimize contact with allergens. There are no carpets and curtains in our building and there is a mechanical ventilation system with anti-smog filters.
- A program of diversified enrichment classes is provided.
- Our kindergarteners regularly go to the forest where, while communing with nature, they play and perform tasks entrusted to them in accordance with the principle “the forest is a big playground and nature is a wise teacher”. At the same time they develop social competences, knowledge and physical fitness.
- Parent participation and communication is important. We provide monthly email newsletter from teachers, parents meetings and an on-going calendar of events.
- We cooperate with a speech therapist, psychologist and posture correction specialist.
- We do not charge holiday fees. We offer discounts to the siblings of children already attending the school.
