Kindergarten for children from 2 to 6 years

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 nextdoor and playgrounds within easy reach.

    In my own experience, respectful attitude and stimulating environment is very important when it comes to educating children. It is often underrated in the society. That is why we try to guide every single child daily on their way to finding the inner balance, confidence and self-motivation to learn. Helping a child to become content, happy and smart is our purpose. That is Bystrá škôlka.

    "Children may forget what you told them, or what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. “
    I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to work with children, and to see their happy faces whenever they learn something new or make a progress. I am grateful for this job because no one can give you so much love and such honest feedback as children can.

    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 was born in Turkey, Bursa. I had my primary education in my hometown and moved to another city for a teacher training high-school. I had my degree in English Language Teaching at Uludag University with government scholarship. (8 years of teacher training in total)

    ​During my university years I had opportunity to attend various erasmus+ programs to learn from people of different cultures and apply my knowledge to my teaching strategies. 

    Before moving to Slovakia I had chance to work with different age groups in language teaching for approximately 3 years but for me kids and teenagers are the most interesting groups to work with.
