The Private Kindergarten UNES was established in Nitra in 2014. UNES is a unique kindergarten providing an experimental educational program focused both on cultures and languages.
The Private Kindergarten UNES employs foreign lecturers from various countries of the world (Venezuela, Brazil, the USA, China, Spain and others), what makes child perceive cultural diversity from an early age. It is easier since children find the existence of cross-cultural differences among people natural. The child has no prejudices against others, because he/she meets people of different nationalities every day.
Children are taught on the daily basis in the following languages: English, Spanish, Chinese and of course in the Slovak language (this language is provided by qualified Slovak teachers). It is natural for children to learn the given language quickly since they experience so called game-based learning. Lecturer does not speak Slovak and it is a big advantage for both the teacher and the child. The child attempts to learn the language quickly in order to be able to tell the lecturer what he/she wants.
Our above-standard services provide children with sports activities such as karate, Latin American dance, golf, archery, music activities – playing the flute, storytelling, art lessons led by professional artist in art studios.
We also offer services of speech therapist and psychologist right in our Private Kindergarten UNES. This is a great advantage for parents, since they do not have to visit such centres with their children. Children feel comfortable and safe and do not take these other people working for us as somebody strange because they already know that these people are a part of our UNES team.
Moreover, tuition does not require any additional fees. All the events that we organize are already covered by the tuition, including ice-skating lessons, visiting theatre, photo shooting, workshops, magician and clown visits, etc.
The Private Kindergarten UNES is located in Nitra at Javorova Street. Facilities of the kindergarten are beautiful with unique equipment. The kindergarten also comprises an outdoor area with playground and sandbox for children. During summer, a tent is built in the outside area where lecturers carry out their activities with children.
The kindergarten features an amazing art studio where children love to spend their time.
Kindergartenʼs facilities include a gym with a golf tee ground. In the kindergarten you can also find a stage where performances for parents and grandparents of our children take place several times a year. Classrooms in which children spend the day are themed.
What make our Private Kindergarten UNES exceptional are also its opening hours: 6.30AM-6.00PM. During public holidays, the opening hours of the kindergarten are as follows: 8.00AM-3.00PM.
Everyone who enters the Private Kindergarten UNES the first time finds it exceptional. Do not hesitate to arrange the date of your visit today and you would not like to enrol your child anywhere else but here. We are looking forward to meeting you.
Team Vision of the Private Kindergarten UNES
Our aim is to develop the learning potential of every single child in a safe and supportive environment while cooperating with families of our children.
Our principles, which the UNES employees are eager to fulfil:
- Develop quality relationships and partnerships with parents
- Focus on quality and continuous improvement of services and performance
- Provide high-quality pre-school education and childcare
- Show equal approach and justice towards all families of diverse cultures and nationalities
Our Philosophy:
We believe that each child is unique and individual. We committed ourselves to help children to reach their own potential based on safe educational environment.
What we long for are children having fun when joining a game as well as being excited when learning. We encourage children to explore and experiment, to create and imagine, to make them excited and amused, to make them solve problems, take risks, to discover and experience success when learning.
We are aware that the family plays the major role in childʼs life and learning. We understand that every family is unique and we appreciate what parents notice about their child and are willing to share with us. We strive to cooperate with families and to help them meet the needs of their child and encourage their child to learn.
We believe that children require strong and safe relationships with their teachers to successfully develop self-confidence and resilience and to experience the feeling of companionship in the kindergarten environment.
As teachers, we educate kids in a way that we want them to ask questions, we give them an opportunity to commence their own learning and thus, to purposefully engage them into learning.
Community of our Private Kindergarten UNES is enriched by differences between our families. We believe that we can learn from each other. We also believe that it is important to raise awareness on cultural diversity among our children.
We try to create and maintain relationships within our local community.
Trust, respect, care, equity, excellence and fun are the most important values that we implement in everything we do in our Private Kindergarten UNES.
