Kindergarten No. 17 is located in Zakrzów, a part of Wrocław's Psie Pole-Zawidawie estate. The name Zakrzów comes from a topographical term that once meant a place behind the bushes, not far away is Zakrzowski Forest. The Kindergarten started its activity from 1. 09. 2019.

The Kindergarten is a care and educational institution for children from 3 years of age up to the age of compulsory schooling, providing children with appropriate conditions for physical, mental, emotional and social development.
