Company preschool benefits

The idea of a company preschool is not a new one abroad. In the Czech Republic it has become a topic of discussion in the last few years, especially after the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs committed itself to a preschool education reform, given the growing birth-rate and lack of state-run preschools.

Company preschools represent a new option for balancing a demanding career with high quality child care. The expected change in social politics complemented by various tax breaks will motivate more and more companies to implement their own preschool programs.

What benefits will having a preschool bring your company?

• Tax breaks
• The possibility of a faster return from maternity leave
• Motivating potential employees to work for your company
• Competitive advantage in searching for new employees
• Lower costs linked to searching and training new employees
• Better public company image
• Enhancing your company’s equal opportunities policy

We aim for the correct physical, psychological, emotional and social development of a child. We make sure that our environment naturally builds on their family education and our carefully prepared concept is developed in close cooperation with the child’s parents.

Every child is a unique personality, talented in many things. We strive to discover these talents and develop them. We listen to the children in our care. We support a healthy life style and teach our little ones what it means to be a part of nature and how to protect it. Our education aims at learning in a broader context, based on the curriculum developed in the English-speaking countries, preparing the children for further English instruction. The children get used to communicating both in Czech and English, as they are instructed by a Czech and an English-speaking teacher at the same time.

Our preschools have a wide range of extra-curricular groups. We organize out-of-classroom meetings for parents and friends, based on the Open House system. We use the Mensa program methods, which support talent development in children.

We offer the following to the state, private and non-profit sectors:

• Analysis of employee needs
• Analysis of employer needs and targets
• Budget proposals
• Consulting on EU funding
• Drawing up and submitting an EU grant project (these can cover up to 100% of the costs)
