"Buy a kindergarten, it’s a turnkey project!" – it sounded almost like a dream. And also a little like a trap. What does it take to build a kindergarten from scratch, why did we choose to run a children’s group instead of a classic preschool – and how is a children’s group different from a state kindergarten or the now-defunct nurseries? Our story is a bit punk, but that's exactly why it's worth reading.

Children love surprises. But even more, they love knowing what’s coming.
You probably know it yourself – at home, you follow a morning ritual, a favorite breakfast, a favorite song. Because a child’s world doesn’t run by the clock – it runs on a sense of security. And that’s exactly what our daily rhythm offers.

At Dragon Kindergartens, our days have rhythm. Not like a factory – but like music, alternating calm and energy, freedom and structure, space and support.

In a bilingual kindergarten, children learn every day. Sometimes they don’t even notice – and that’s a good thing.
Because the most valuable learning doesn’t come from worksheets. It comes from those moments when a child realizes that things make sense, that they understand – and that they can handle it on their own.

At our kindergarten, this kind of discovery happens naturally. Every day, in everyday situations. Children learn not only Czech and English, but also how to cooperate, think, talk about emotions, resolve conflicts, develop motor skills and body coordination. And they laugh all the time. (And sometimes get a bit messy.)

The first day of kindergarten.
On one side – a backpack, a stuffed toy, maybe even a pacifier.
On the other – a nervous parent thinking: “I hope they won’t cry…”

Honestly? Sometimes there are tears. Sometimes from the kids. Sometimes from the parents. But believe us – when adaptation is done right, it doesn’t have to hurt either one.

Have you ever heard the phrase: “He’s too young for kindergarten.”
Or the opposite: “He’s too old here, he needs proper school prep.”
You won’t hear that from us.

We welcome all children from the age of one up to those getting ready for school. And we know that every child needs something a little different – at their own pace, in their own way, and most of all, with understanding. That’s exactly what we offer.

We know how hard it is to entrust your child to someone else’s care. How much it matters who you hand them over to every morning. Parents aren’t just looking for a place where their child learns how to hold a crayon or name a color. They’re looking for safety, trust, and partnership. And that’s exactly what we build everything on. 🧡
