The education in the kindergarten is child-centred, focusing on a multi-sided and harmonic development of the personality of the children. Every child in our kindergarten spends their pre-school years in an emotionally supported carefree environment. This is the place where children can best develop and their personal skills can best evolve in a loving, caring, playful and tranquil environment. Our teaching staff are highly educated and have advanced empathic skills. We pay attention to the children’s individual development and individual skills development, using different methods tailored to their own individual needs and stages of development making sure that the environment best facilitates the evolution of their abilities. Our joint effort aims to bring up well-educated, balanced children in an aesthetic pre-school environment by organizing programmes which highly contribute to the development of their personalities. The primary scene of the education of pre-school children is the family. Playing games is given priority in this process which is the fundamental activity of the children which helps to develop their skills and their abilities, to gain experience and knowledge. Our kindergarten has 11 groups od children aged 3-7 years and we are engaged in educating, teaching these children, as well as in helping with develpoing their personlaties.
