About the Kindergarten

The kindergarten “Veselá školka” (Jolly Kindergarten) was founded in 2008. At that time there were some private preschool facilities, most of which were mostly focused on teaching English. We neither liked this philosophy nor did we agree with it. We do not think it is a good approach. We intended to establish a facility for children living in the Czech Republic, and the earlier they learn to speak correctly and gain mastery over the Czech language, the sooner they will be able to study languages in depth. In our seven years of experience, we are finding out that our approach is correct and functional. Now we are concerned about the current situation where more and more cases of postponing the compulsory school attendance due to speech impediment and attention deficit are commonplace. Therefore, we stand up for our educational concept and are extremely happy to see the results “our” children achieve later in school.

Vendula successfully finished the master's degree - subject “Secondary School Teaching: Czech + English”. Anyway she finds working with preschool children much more attractive. That is why she had no hesitation in becoming a part of the Veselá školka team. While working with children, she tries to concentrate on their natural curiosity, enthusiasm, spontaneity, energy and naturalness. The most important is to let the children be themselves and that is what makes them happy. Vendula believes that children are like mirrors for the adults - she always works on their sense of responsibility, purposefulness, independence, friendship and love to other people and to the nature. Vendula adores travelling and discovering beautiful places, especially in the nature. Her pros: timekeeping, punctuality, responsibility, sense of humor and neverending optimism, cons: as she says, there are no cons connected with her personality :-)

One of the most important things in a kindergarten is cleanliness. Mrs. Jana Hurychová takes care of that and keeps all our premises clean and scented. She is conscientious, reliable and no task is impossible for her to complete. Nevertheless, she is also the person who is spoiling our taste buds by preparing tasty and healthy snacks. She enjoys gardening and looks after the garden with herbs and vegetables.

He is a capable manager and a perfectionist and manages the school by participating in creating internal processes using his excellent organizational abilities. The children love him and like getting into mischief with him. As we know, in every man, there is a hidden kid who wants to play. We appreciate his ability to help when needed; he can give excellent advice and never leaves a question unanswered.
