Olomouc’s Maple Bear Kindergarten is located on Kosmonautů Avenue in the newest stage of the BEA campus, which is called the BEA city business residence.
Maple Bear Kindergarten Olomouc is open every working day from 7:00 to 17:00. The school has three classrooms:
Nursery – Happy Frogs – 3-4 years
Junior Kindergarten – Clever Kingfishers – 4-5 years
Senior Kindergarten – Smart Foxes – 5-6 years
Each class follows its own classroom curriculum, which reflects the physiological and developmental needs of the children as much as possible.
The maximum capacity per class is 20 children.
The programme is presented to children bilingually using the so-called immersion method. Thanks to this method, the children are “immersed” in the English language every day and thus do not learn the language, but acquire it in a natural way. In the Maple Bear Kindergarten Olomouc, however, thanks to bilingual education, the Czech language is also cultivated and developed.
In the daily regime of the preschool class (Smart Foxes), great attention is paid to school maturity in the so-called Czech Centre. The activities carried out in the Czech Centre consistently prepare children for enrolment in primary school and ensure a smooth transition between kindergarten and primary school.
Uniforms are an important part of the Maple Bear Olomouc Kindergarten. Uniforms are worn not only by the children, but by the entire staff. They evoke a sense of belonging in the children, serve as a safety feature (especially during daily outdoor activities) and also help the children to adapt when they start kindergarten.
Meals are provided for children throughout the day in the form of four meals (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack). Meals for children are provided by the school canteen – Holečkova. Children are introduced to a varied diet enriched with plenty of fruit and vegetables. The children are encouraged to be self-supporting – they set their own table, take away dirty dishes, etc.
At Maple Bear Kindergarten, children gain the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. Inspired by the Canadian model, our child-centered approach supports academic, emotional, social, and physical growth. Through play, language, creativity, and problem-solving, students learn in a safe, nurturing environment. Our dedicated teachers foster curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning, helping every child build a strong foundation for the future.
