Our English teaching curriculum is closely linked to the Polish-speaking education one and their content is intertwined. It uses the method of early immersion, i.e. the “immersion” of children in English in a manner similar to that in which babies and young children acquire their mother tongue.
Children get to know the world around them in two languages, because during their stay in the kindergarten they are accompanied by both the Polish-speaking and the English-speaking teacher. The foreign language is used by children to communicate and, at the same time, is a tool that helps them explore and learn about the world. By the age of 11, children taught using this method achieve bilingualism almost identical to that of native speakers. It is, however, important that they start their education by the age of 4 at the latest.
By carefully selecting all elements and appropriate educational aids and linking them to the topics that spark children’s curiosity, we have created a programme that will help children learn English in no time at all.
Our partners in teaching English:
LEONARDO SCHOOL
creators of the Leo English method, which uses the natural process of acquiring language skills by children to communicate in English. Our kindergarten in Łódź, which we run for Infosys Poland, has acquired the status of a model kindergarten that uses this method of teaching!
MOTHER GOOSE TIME POLAND
authors of the Mother Goose Time Curriculum USA programme, created according to the highest standards of language education for pre-school children, as defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (equivalent of the Polish Ministry of Education).
FUNDACJA ROZWOJU SYSTEMU EDUKACJI (FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM)
manages the international Erasmus+ Programme under which teachers from European countries visit our selected facilities to teach English and develop students’ communication skills.
EDU PLANET
experts supporting our efforts in teaching by using English children’s literature. By importing from Great Britain books written by award-winning authors such as Eric Carle, Julia Donaldson or Max Velthuijs, Orchard Toys board games and puzzles as well as other educational materials, they effectively support our programme and ensure that children have everyday contact with living English.
Cooperation with international kindergartens
Kids Academy International Pre-School in Bangkok, The Anak Atelier Preschool and Kindergarten on Bali, The “Young Explorers’ Club” Kindergarten in Dublin, Loving Hands International Nursery School in London – these are the international bilingual kindergartens we cooperate with in order to exchange best practices related to the methods and techniques of teaching and bringing up children. Children are encouraged to talk to their peers in other countries using interactive whiteboards. The aim of this cooperation is to shape children’s own identity and ability to function in a group. We want to interest children in different cultures and customs and teach them to be open-minded and tolerant of different races and religions.
Let’s meet!
We invite all of you to an individual meeting with the headteacher. This will be a great opportunity to find out about our educational offer, ask questions, and visit the kindergarten. You can book one visit for a given day.
