About Our Preschool

Do we accept children under 3 years of age?

We usually accept children over 3 years of age, Depending on social skills and previous experience with similar institutions we can accept a younger child. Each case is discussed individually after the child‘s short attendance to our school. Starting September 2018 we are opening two toddler classes for children from 1,5 years old.

My child has not been attending any similar institution. How does the adaptation process work?

Always before the beginning of the school year we offer 2 afternoons only for newly enrolled children so that they can get used to the school environment, the class and meet the teachers.

What is the ratio between the children and the teachers?

In Pevnostní preschool the maximum of children is 25/class, in Cihelná preschool it is 24/class. In each class there are at least 2 teachers, one Czech and one English speaking. 

How do I know how the child works during the day and how it develops?

Every week weekly reports are sent to parents. It includes what we did in the past week and also pictures. Meetings with the director, a teacher or the preschool methodologist can be set anytime during the year. Parents can also set a meeting at the psychological centre. Parent conferences are held twice a year – in the middle and at the end of the year – 30 minutes of individual meetings where we talk about how the child develops at preschool in terms of personal, social and academic areas.

Does the preschool offer any other services or activities?

In addition to varied offer of afternoon activities a speech therapist comes to our preschool once a week and works particularly with preschool children. Depending on the monthly topics we go for trips to see animals, visit exhibitions, theatres or other cultural events. We also invite interesting persons to our preschool, we also organize art and creative workshops. Once a month we organize sessions related to traditions or other significant events of the month for children and parents. For parents and the general public, we offer seminars, lectures and workshops in the field of education of children. 

Is preschool open in summer months?

In summer months we offer thematic programs similar to suburban camps. The preschool is closed only 1 - 2 weeks at the end of August due to preparations for the upcoming school year.
