About us

Who we are

We are a bilingual English-Polish speaking international preschool offering a high-quality holistic Early Years education in Wola Justowska, the green heart of Cracow. We proudly embrace the Reggio Emilia approach, which places children at the center of their own learning experience, encouraging them to explore, discover, and express themselves through their natural curiosity and creativity. Our unique program combines the principles of Reggio Emilia with a deep appreciation for the wonders of nature. The curriculum, based on educational framework of Units of Inquiry, evolves authentically throughout each year based on the children's questions, discoveries, and interests, which fosters a dynamic and responsive learning culture. We believe that each child comes naturally equipped in curiosity and open-mindedness and should be encouraged to take the lead in their learning journey.

In our preschool we create a safe space for our children to become immersed in learning through authentic inquiry and discovery. We focus on artistic expression, where visual arts, music, and movement play a central role, enabling children to freely communicate and represent their thoughts and ideas. Our caring teachers carefully observe and document each child's experiences, fostering reflective practice and individualized learning plans. In our nature-based preschool, the great outdoors becomes an extension of our classroom, where children have the opportunity to connect with the world around them. In the spirit of Reggio Emilia, we recognize children as capable, resourceful, and full of potential.

By immersing them in the outdoors, we empower them to explore, inquire, and make sense of the wonders of the natural environment. Our Little Ones spend valuable time outside every day, rain or shine discovering, wondering and growing. These diversified nature-inspired activities and experiences encourage them to ask questions, experiment and collaborate with their peers. Through hands-on exploration, our children build connections with the world, develop critical thinking skills, and gain a profound appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature.
