Slnečnice - Kindergarten
Residence complex Slnečnice is situated on the outskirts of Petržalka, in a newly established area. Its intention is to serve parents from all over Petržalka and adjacent villages such as Jarovce, Rusovce, Rajka.
The facility is modernly furnished and equipped in the spirit of Montessori education. However, we try to combine the best from different directions. There is a pleasant forest next door and playgrounds within easy reach.

Work in a kindergarten is my mission. In my opinion, children are very special beings with an endless ability
for love and sincerity. Being able to observe their progress and assist them in the most important part of their
lives makes me extremely happy. It is an extraordinary opportunity to share my knowledge and wisdom with
them in a fun and playful way.

I love teaching because I like to help young children grow, explore, and discover the world around them. Every day is full of excitement and curiosity as they learn new things and new words. Seeing their smiles and watching them gain confidence is incredibly rewarding. Being a part of their early learning journey is a special experience, and I enjoy creating a fun and safe environment where they feel happy and loved. Teaching allows me to make a positive impact on their lives, which brings me joy every day.

My motivation to become a teacher began with my grandmother. She raised me and played the most important role in shaping who I am today. From her I inherited not only all the values I operate now, but also a deep love for teaching. Growing up under her care, I observed how she dedicated herself to her students and this inspired me to choose this field. Teaching for me is not just a profession but a calling. I support kids, help them discover their potential and share with them the joy of learning. My goal is to create a positive environment where every child feels valued and motivated to grow.

Loving children is not a job for me, it is a lifestyle. At the age of five you would see me playing with younger children and helping them learn. At school and university - looking for a way to explain things to my classmates that they did not understand. At family gatherings you will probably not see me at the table, but rather on the carpet with all the little ones, happily bringing them “wow” moments.
The goal of my work is to be a lantern into an interesting life, to accompany small big personalities on their journey. To create a safe space and perceive the individuality of each child - their needs, talents, etc.
At the same time, my passion is teaching. To find a way to show, engage, simplify and understand complex things. To awaken the desire to know more.
I sincerely believe that kindness, love and happiness of an individual will save the world. Therefore, it is equally important for me to develop emotional intelligence, empathy and self-esteem. To learn to treat everything with love and see beauty everywhere.
