For children ages 1 and up in a loving, respectful Czech-English environment with a personalized approach. We look forward to welcoming you to Shining Smile.
Preliminary application
An individualized and loving approach to every child
Shining Smile is a Czech-English preschool—a children’s group and daycare center—located in the quiet neighborhood of Dobřejovice with excellent accessibility. It is housed in a family home with a large garden and a spacious playground, which provide children with a safe space for physical activity, play, and daily exploration of the world.
We pride ourselves on having a small group of children, which allows us to treat each child individually and with respect. Our team includes qualified educators who support the children in developing independence, communication skills, creativity, and social skills. We also emphasize high-quality preschool preparation, which helps children develop their language skills, fine motor skills, concentration, and logical thinking, and prepares them for a smooth transition to elementary school. We also place great emphasis on healthy eating. Easy and convenient parking is available right on the preschool grounds.
Our efforts
Our efforts are focused on creating a loving and safe environment that provides the highest quality of care, where children feel safe and happy and can develop naturally at their own pace.
Our support
We provide children with daily support based on an individualized approach and respect for their uniqueness. This guidance helps them develop independence, healthy self-confidence, and a joy in learning, discovery, and relationships with others.
Our Goal
Our goal is for every child to feel secure, accepted, and happy, and to be able to fully develop their potential in a stimulating environment.
Playful Growth and Learning
Our activities and the learning environment are naturally conducted in both Czech and English.

"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.
