Learn more about nursery subsidies from the City of Cracow
In 2025, the City of Cracow will continue providing subsidies for children under the care of nurseries, children’s clubs, and day carers.
The subsidy is available exclusively for children residing in Cracow who are under the care of a nursery, children’s club, or day carer. It amounts to PLN 3.50 per hour of childcare (subsidy applies to children covered by valid agreements between parents/legal guardians and care institutions).
The purpose of this funding is to reduce the fees paid by parents/legal guardians for childcare services. As per agreements with the City of Kraków, institutions receiving the subsidy are required to lower or refund part of the monthly fees (tuition) to parents/legal guardians. The reduction or refund cannot be less than the subsidy amount received from the City in a given month.
The subsidy will be granted for 12 months, from 1 January to 31 December 2025.
The subsidy is calculated using the following formula: number of childcare hours provided in a given month × PLN 3.50
The monthly subsidy for one child under 3 years old in care averages PLN 735. For children with a disability certificate, the additional subsidy can reach PLN 1,260, assuming 21 working days per month and a contract covering 10 hours of care daily.
For questions or concerns about subsidies for children under the age of 3, please contact Social Policy and Health Department, Nursery Affairs Unit, Cracow City Hall — phone: 12 616-50-58.
Remember, with the City of Cracow subsidy and the ACTIVE IN THE NURSERY programme, you can receive up to PLN 2,200 in subsidies for a KIDS&Co. nursery, allowing you to pay only the cost of your child’s meals each month.
About the facility
In our kindergarten, we care about comprehensive and harmonic child’s development using the incredible receptiveness of our pupils’ minds in their first years of life. The realising of the MEN core curriculum was complemented with a proprietary emotional intelligence and social competence development programme developed by experienced teachers together with child psychologists. We teach kids crucial competence such as critical thinking, recognising emotions, respect for others, cooperation.
Each group of children is cared for by two teachers – only Polish and only English speaking. The English speaking teachers use the bilingual programme (“Dwujęzyczny Świat Dziecka”) based on a remarkably effective language immersion method. It immerses the child in a foreign language while in the middle of many different activities. Thanks to this method the child acquires the foreign language in a practical and natural way on a native speaker level. The content of both Polish and English language curriculum interchange and due to this the children can discover the surrounding world in two languages.
In everyday work we also use parts of Dalton Plan that encourages children to act and engage in a creative effort. The teacher’s role is to organise activities in such a way that it will activate the children and push them to searching for solutions. We support the children in their own exploration of the surrounding world. We also teach them to be observant and we develop their ability to draw conclusions.
The kindergarten’s day schedule is designed to maintain a balance between free play, outdoor play (arranged almost in any weather) and classes. Throughout the day, children have constant contact with both Polish and English, which helps them develop natural language skills, at the level of a native speaker.
The interior of our kindergarten is modern and aesthetic, designed by architects awarded for these types of projects. The colours and accessories aid learning, concentration and create a sense of safety. In the rooms there are theme corners that meet children’s different needs, facilitate peer contact, socialise, develop manual and language skills. The furniture and the position of windows are adjusted to children’s height, what allows the children to be active in a free and safe manner.
We serve the children meals based on a macrobiotic diet principles because we care about healthy eating habits and strengthening the children’s immunity. This diet includes many vegetables, fruit (mainly seasonal) and different kinds of groats. It avoids sugar and salt.
