Happy Bees English Speaking Kindergartens operate on the basis of the
Entry into the Register of Non-Public Schools and Institutions. It means that we are not a toddler's club or an
academy but a preschool institution which:
• meets strict architectural and construction standards provided
for this type of institutions
• employs staffs with pedagogical qualifications that comply with
the Ordinance of the Ministry of National Education
• follows the kindergarten curriculum provided by the Ministry of
National Education
• operates on the basis of the Kindergarten Statutes
• is supervised by the Education Office, Sanitary and
Epidemiological Station, Fire Brigade and district authorities
* Small groups of 10 to 12 children
Small groups create better relations between teachers and children as
well as parents. They help us respond faster and solve all childcare
problems more effectively, also in cooperation with you. In such groups
children assimilate into the group of peers more quickly, they establish
first friendships and they adjust to a new place.
* Teaching staff experienced in work with pre-school children.
The teachers in Happy Bees have graduated studies with a specialization
in pedagogy. They have also great experience gained in the best Wrocław kindergartens. But, what is the most important, our teachers are very warm, patient persons, passionate about children.
* Opening hours 7.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m.
We are at your disposal all year long from Monday to Friday between 7.00 –
18.00.
If necessary, we can stay open longer on the basis of individual
agreements.
* Advanced English Teaching Programme
The advanced English teaching programme in Happy Bees involves not only
everyday classes adjusted to the preschool age but mainly conversations
in English made while performing everyday tasks and playing, teaching
rhymes, songs, etc.
The preschool age is an excellent time for developing language skills.
It is the most intense period of development of child's ability to
speak, therefore it is the best time for learning languages. A child
absorbs languages naturally and gets the correct pronunciation and
accent without any effort. The earlier the children start their contact
with a foreign language the easier they learn it, and the chances that
they will be able to communicate easily in this language in the future
are also getting bigger.
We would like the children attending Busy Bees to use as wide range of
English words and phrases as possible. We would like them to break the
barrier of speaking a foreign language and be open for further learning
at the next stages of education.
We teach English in Happy Bees on two levels:
• first of all through contact and being exposed to English in
everyday life situations. Teachers speak English with children while
performing everyday tasks, playing and going for a walk. This method
helps the children to familiarize with correct patterns of expressions,
understand the spoken language, become accustomed and develop the
ability to articulate words and short sentences. We also employ a native
speaker that the children have contact with every day,
• additionally, all children participate in classes adjusted to
the preschool age, where children learn through fun. The classes are
organised 5 times a week and they are 20-40 minutes long (depending on
the age group).
* Extended physical and sport activities
In Happy Bees we offer diversified and professional activities aimed at
development of physical fitness of children: games and activities
involving physical movement, physiotherapy exercises, eurhythmics
classes, dance classes and additional classes such as ballet, speech and
music therapy.
Children at the preschool age easily develop habits that are good for
health, proper development, physical fitness and physical abilities.
Exercises help to shape the figure and such features as flexibility,
jumping ability and what is the most important at this age -
coordination and the awareness of one's body. A child learns how to
control movement and how to control oneself. They learn such natural
movements as walking, running, jumping, etc.
The classes which combine movement and music, such as dance, eurhythmics
or ballet help the children to open up, make them more self confident
and facilitate communication with peers. By learning short choreographic
routines children develop their memory and learning skills by copying.
Activities involving physical movement included in the obligatory
curriculum:
• eurhythmics classes
• advance programme of dance classes
Activities co-financed by Parents:
• Developmental Movement Method by Veronica Sherborne
• speech and music therapy
We offer the following additional classes (against a fee):
• ballet
• physiotherapy exercises
• judo
We are open to any suggestions of Parents as to the extension of the
above-mentioned offer.
Additional classes will start only if the minimum number of five
children is reached.
* Environmental Education
We did not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We have borrowed it from our children.
Lester Brown
We believe that development of environmental habits in our children will
pay off in the future with larger awareness of environmental
protection, methods for saving water and energy in everyday life, etc.
In Happy Bees we teach about environment protection during everyday games
and regular activities such as going for a walk, washing hands or using
a toilet.
We also want to make the children emotionally connected with their
environment and to make them understand that they are an inseparable
part of it.
* Close relation and cooperation between teachers and parents
We understand how important it is for the Parents to receive reliable
information about their child. That is why you can obtain from us any
information about your child's day: what was happening to your child for
the entire day, how much they ate, whether they cried or not and
whether they succeeded in peeing into the potty :) Out Parents may ask
about anything and, as far as possible, we will reply to all questions.
* Healthy Eating
Nutritious meals popular among children are delivered to our
kindergarten by a catering company Kalzeon, approved by the Sanitary and
Epidemiological Station and located in Wrocław at 10 Brucknera Street.
The company has been operating since January 2009 and its main line of
business involves all-day catering for kindergartens and schools.
Meals for kindergartens are prepared according to the rules of healthy
eating, taking into account the requirements of children at different
ages. Dinner sets are very diversified and dishes are selected in such a
way as to ensure all elements required for the proper functioning of a
young body. Meals are selected in such a way as to ensure that children
will enjoy eating them and that they will not have any difficulties with
eating. Menus are flexible. The dishes unpopular among children may be
eliminated - the company is willing to take into account individual
needs and prepare diet meals for children suffering from allergies or
constipation.
Our kindergarten has implement the HACCP system that is considered to be
the most effective tool ensuring the safety of food.
* New buildings meeting required standards
Happy Bees is located in new buildings with the surface area of approx.
200 sq m, maintained in sunny, warm colours pleasant to children. They
are equipped according to the strict standards of the Sanitary and
Epidemiological Station and the Fire Brigade

safety certificates.
