Czechia-English nursery school for toddlers and preschoolers
First steps in English for children aged 1 to 6
Preliminary application
Individual and loving care for every child
The Czechia-English nursery and children's group Shining Smile is located in a quiet area in Dobřejovice in a house with a large garden, which includes a spacious playground where children can safely move around, play, and discover the world around them.
Our children's group is not just a daycare center - children have daily educational activities with us. In the morning, we work with weekly thematic blocks that teach children language, motor skills, creativity, social skills, and basic knowledge about the world around them. In the afternoon, children attend afternoon clubs where they develop their skills in a playful way.
Children spend their time with us happily, learning and growing.
Our focus
We strive to create a loving, home-like environment for the best quality care, for the proper development of toddlers and preschoolers, through foreign language education with a native speaker. A loving approach, providing children with a safe, supportive and respectful environment in which they can develop and grow in a healthy way.
Our support
We encourage children to develop healthy self-confidence, independence, and consideration for all living beings and the environment. We respect children's individual needs, listen to them, and provide them with opportunities for personal growth. This approach promotes empathy, emotional intelligence, and a healthy relationship between child and teacher in the nursery setting and later in the school environment.
What We Prioritize
The goal of the Shining Smile children's group is to make children feel safe, respected, and supported, enabling them to develop their potential.
We strive to strengthen their self-confidence and healthy integration into the group, and we contribute to their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
Playful growth and learning
In our children's group, children naturally develop their vocabulary in Czech and English, learn new words in a playful way, and discover the world around them together.

"Play is the work of childhood," Jean Piaget
I am grateful to be at the beginning of a journey that combines my passion for caring for children with the everyday practice I have gained over the years. After many years working in healthcare, I was fortunate enough to take the opportunity to start working in a nursery school. This experience opened my eyes and provided me with the necessary knowledge to awaken children's joy of discovering the world. Today, my goal is to support their development in a Czech-English environment where they learn, discover, and grow with joy.
