Information about preschool education

Preschool education is designed for children between 3 and 6 years of age, in some cases two year old children can be accepted as well. It complements the family upbringing and enriches it with specific stimuli. It‘s an educational stage when the child gains social experience, knowledge about the world around and first skills for life long learning. Preschool education follows the national curriculum for preschool education. 

Nursery school attendance is obligatory for children from 5 years (the age reached by the 31st of August is decisive). Parents pay a portion of the costs (tuition fee 600,- Kč) and meals (aprox. 1000-1100,- Kč a month). Children who are supposed to start in the final year of the nursery school are admitted preferentially and pay only for meals.

Adaptation plan

It is advisable to use an adaptation plan for the smooth adaptation of new children. 

SAMPLE – Adaptation plan of a child in kindergarten 

Our kindergarten has developed a so-called adaptation plan for new children, which allows children to gradually get used to the kindergarten environment with the support of their own parents and kindergarten teachers.

It helps the child a lot during the adaptation if the parent initially participates in the kindergarten together with the child according to the following plan: The parent comes with the child to the kindergarten on the adaptation day, which the school announces in advance.

In the first weeks of attendance, it is advisable to pick up the child from kindergarten after lunch.

Gradually extend the time of stay.
