Education

The School Educational Program of Vrakuňáčik is based on the Slovak State Educational Program for Kindergartens – Pre-primary Education in accordance with the School Act, which guarantees the high quality of the entire educational process. As of September 1, 2026, by being included in the Register of Schools and School Facilities (under the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic), we have become an official Private Kindergarten. At the same time, we have become part of the Felix kindergarten network.

The program is based on three principles:

Adaptation to kindergarten

Adaptation to kindergarten – one of the most important issues of child development and parent-child relationships. Starting kindergarten is a major life change for a child, as they experience being in a group of children without their parents for the very first time. Our teachers patiently help them adapt to and embrace this new situation. The child learns greater independence and learns to cope with separation from their familiar family environment.

Educational activities

We educate in a welcoming environment in accordance with the principles of Montessori pedagogy and a constructivist approach to learning. Each classroom is equipped and divided into thematic zones that encourage the child to work independently and explore.

Preparation for primary school

The entire preschool period is a preparation for compulsory school attendance. A child should be sufficiently mature mentally, physically, and socially, and should manifest as a healthy and independent personality. We want to approach each child individually and with regard to their specific needs. We aim to respect all of this and prepare the children for primary education, and thus for the transition to school.
