What Makes Bystra škôlka Unique?
❤️ Respectful and Individualised Approach
We see every child as a unique individual. We nurture independence, healthy self-confidence, and a natural love of exploration and learning.
🌿 Montessori-Inspired Education
We follow the principles of Montessori education, fostering independence, responsibility, concentration, and intrinsic motivation in every child.
🌍 English Throughout the Day
One of our teachers communicates exclusively in English, allowing children to acquire the language naturally through everyday interactions and activities. Our programme also includes Jolly Phonics, which supports the development of early literacy skills in English.
👩🏫 Strong Teacher-to-Child Ratio and Individual Attention
Smaller group sizes and a higher number of educators create a safe and supportive environment where every child's needs can be recognised and addressed.
🧠 Psychologist and Professional Support
A psychologist is an integral part of our support team, providing professional guidance and support to teachers, parents, and children in areas such as adaptation, school readiness, and individual developmental needs.
🎓 Comprehensive Preschool Programme
We provide preschool children with thorough preparation for primary school, including educational assessments, indicative assessment of intellectual potential (NOMI), the Jolly Phonics programme, practice school enrolment sessions, preparation for admission interviews, and guidance in choosing the most suitable primary school.
😊 Social and Emotional Development
Through programmes such as Zippy's Friends and Kozmo and His Adventures, children develop empathy, emotional resilience, respectful communication, and healthy relationships.
⚽ Active Lifestyle and Healthy Habits
Daily outdoor play, physical activities, excursions, and educational trips are complemented by nutritious and balanced meals prepared in cooperation with Zdravý dom.
🤝 Partnership with Parents
We place great emphasis on open, regular, and collaborative communication with parents. We believe that close cooperation between families and the kindergarten creates the best possible environment for every child’s development, well-being, and happiness.
Our communication with parents includes:
- a private parents’ group with weekly updates about the children’s activities, projects, and school life,
- regular sharing of photographs and information about the children’s daily activities,
- individual consultations whenever requested by parents or teachers,
- parents’ meetings throughout the school year,
- a joint parents’ meeting at the beginning of each school year,
- an introductory information meeting for parents of children entering the preschool programme,
- the opportunity to join the School Council and contribute to the development of our nursery community.
Our aim is to create an environment built on trust, mutual respect and open dialogue between the kindergarten and families.
🏫 Stability, Quality, and Trust
For more than 10 years, we have been supporting children and their families on their educational journey. During this time, we have gained extensive experience working with children from Slovakia and around the world, creating an environment that combines professional expertise, continuity, and individual care.
Bystra škôlka operates four locations in Bratislava and is part of the official network of schools and educational institutions of the Slovak Republic. We deliver education in accordance with the Slovak National Curriculum while successfully integrating Montessori principles and bilingual education into the requirements of the Slovak educational system.
We help children make a smooth transition to Slovak, bilingual, international, and selective primary schools, providing families with a stable and trusted educational environment that respects the unique needs and potential of every child.
