ABOUT US

Modern Kindergarten and Children's Group Mexico provides full preschool education for children aged 1.5 to 6 years.

Our goal is enthusiastic children who actively experience the day at kindergarten and satisfied parents who can carry out their work duties with the feeling that their children are very well taken care of. We offer flexible operating hours, which we are able to adapt to parents' requirements, including night or weekend babysitting.

Our kindergarten is specialized in a healthy lifestyle with the support of sports activities. Children take physical activity classes several times a week, spend time on walks and their own playground, and also visit the partner pool and sports hall within 100 m of the kindergarten. We have our own salt cave and infrared sauna, which we use regularly.

Our team

Our team consists of professional teaching staff. We all approach children as our partners with understanding and respect for their individual needs. Our older children are currently being looked after by experienced teachers Nika and Nikola and assistant teacher Aneta. The caregivers who are in charge of the youngest children are Veronika, Markéta, Adriana and Jana. We also have pedagogy students Monika, Martina, Ivana and others in the team, who strengthen our team in cases of substitutes or permanent employees on leave.
