Teachers
Our goal is to create a family atmosphere that teaches children intercultural sensitivity, respect for themselves, others, nature and the world we are a part of. We respect the individuality of the child and encourage him to be naturally involved in all activities. We are proud of our personal and warm approach to children. All the activities offered aim to arouse children's curiosity and help their natural learning.
