Little Heroes Nursery | Prague 4

I was completely taken by the Montessori approach, so I decided to leave my original profession and devote my time to children, for whom we are creating environment full of stimuli. We honour the individuality of our little heroes and with their guides always staying close to them, we let their personalities to form. We naturally encourage them to communicate, cooperate, and be independent. As a mom of two, I know how important it is.

After finishing my studies at CVUT, I changed my original profession for creative work in interior design. On top of that, I was more and more attracted to creative work with small children. As an occasional nanny, I spent many years caring for children of both Czech and bilingual families, and the Montessori approach won me over. As a mother, I understood how important and beautiful it is to turn that mysterious key and awaken the curiosity within the child's soul. By any form of positive participation. By encouraging them, comforting them, loving them, and by showing respect towards others.

Working with children has always been a big part of my life. My mum works with children with special needs and my older brother is a tennis coach for children. From the age of 15, I used to go to sports camps with him and also helped him at summer city camps. I used to babysit for my friends and also worked as a private nanny while studying. After I finished high school, I studied special education. I am truly grateful that I can do a job that fulfills me and I can help children develop their individuality and uniqueness every day.

After studying in high school with a focus on hotel and tourism, I started working in the gastronomy industry. I was more and more attracted to and enjoyed working with children, so I decided to change and took a nanny course. I am very grateful to be part of something that gives me a real sense of purpose, fulfills me and at the same time creates space for the development of each individual. The sincerity in the children's eyes, their laughter and pure soul is what means the most to me as a nanny and a mother.

During high school, I lived with the idea of going to medical school and being a doctor in a white coat. However, thanks to the birth of my nephew, I threw that idea away and decided that I wanted to do what I sincerely enjoyed in life and felt inside that it was right. The Montessori approach offers me all of this. I worked in a Montessori nursery in Brno, where I enjoyed my work immensely and wanted to stay in such an environment. Therefore, after moving to Prague, I was looking for a place that honours respectful education and develops unique personalities in a non-violent way, with love and understanding.

I have always dreamed about being a teacher in the kindergarten and possibly open one kindergarten on my own. I can say my dreams come true and preschool pedagogy became my life mission. I worked as a nanny, tutor of interest groups, kindergarten teacher, kindergarten director and founder of my own kindergarten. During my university studies I encountered Maria Montessori pedagogy which completely won me over for its kindness and simplicity. I use its principles on daily bases to rise my son, work with parents, work with teacher´s teams and directors of kindergartens and children´s groups.
