KINDERGARTEN

English Speaking Classes

The classes are led by fully-qualified teachers who are, for more support and easier adaptation, all English speaking Czech teachers with several years of experience in the field. In these classes lessons are taught in English and are based on the British National Curriculum.

Preparation for Czech primary school

Abacus English Preschool also offers “Czech Preschool Club”. This is a club in Czech language meant for any children from all classes who will start their primary school the following year. It is lead by an experienced Czech teacher and takes place in the preschool twice a week (each lesson takes 45min). These lessons should help the children with their preparation for their Czech primary school.

Modern technology and teaching materials

At Abacus English Preschool our teachers use the latest modern equipment. Educational materials and books are delivered mainly from the UK. The Morning programme in the preschool is academically oriented focusing mainly on the development of language, literacy, numeracy and science.

Afternoon activities

The afternoon programme is filled with various activities, which include for example: arts and crafts, music and singing lessons, yoga, sports, and many other cool activities which we continually modify according to the children’s interest. All of the activities take place in our preschool.
