FAQ
What parents ask most often
Which children is the nursery for?
For children aged 2 to 6. There are two classes: Berušky (Ladybirds, ages 2–3) and Motýlci (Butterflies, ages 4–5 and preschoolers). We accept children from Prague 5 and the surrounding area, as well as children of Na Homolce Hospital employees.
What are the opening hours?
On working days from 6:00 to 17:30; children of Na Homolce Hospital employees can stay until 19:30. We are open in summer too (July and August) and closed only at Christmas and during the preparation week before the school year begins.
How much are the fees and meals?
Tuition starts at 3,700 CZK per month (one morning a week) and is 11,900 CZK for full-day attendance five days a week. Meals are paid separately, and we offer a 30% sibling discount on tuition for a second child. You can work out the exact amount in our calculator on the Enrolment and fees page.
How does the English teaching work?
English is a firm part of every day – in a playful way, with the interactive board and with a native English speaker who talks with the children throughout the day. The children pick up the language naturally without feeling that it is learning.
How do I enrol my child?
Contact us about a vacancy, arrange a tour, fill in the application and the other documents (you will find them to download) and wait for the admission notice – we will get back to you within 3 to 5 working days. If capacity allows, we also accept children during the school year.
What about meals?
Lunches are provided by Na Homolce Hospital; the morning and afternoon snacks are prepared right in the nursery. The current menu is posted on the board by the entrance and you can download a sample menu.
Where is the nursery and how do I get there?
We are at Akáciová 34/1, Prague 5 – Homolka, in the grounds of Na Homolce Hospital (Košíře district, close to Smíchov). You can get off at the Kotlářka tram stop or the Weberova bus stop; there is a car park, and the landmark is the FK Sparta Košíře football pitch.
