Children’s Groups of the CAS

The existence of the children's group has helped us a lot, because even younger children can be placed there – our son started attending when he was two years old. Given the group's afternoon opening hours and its proximity to my workplace, it suits me that I can stay at work longer without stressing about when and how to pick up my child. Affordability also plays a role, especially when compared to private nurseries.

The program for children is well balanced throughout the week. They go to exercise classes, regularly visit the theater, and go on trips. The children's group is open throughout the summer, except for two weeks. I know that the children are well cared for, and the individual approach is simply great. Our younger daughter Elenka learned to go to kindergarten without crying within ten days. We are simply satisfied.

I started working while pregnant. I went to the interview knowing that I would accept the offer, but also knowing that we were expecting our third child. I was surprised by their reaction—they said everything would be arranged. They accepted my little one at a year and a half, an age that is most critical for mothers and when it is too early for kindergarten, and private kindergartens are expensive and inconvenient in terms of time. Here, I have a "kindergarten" right at my doorstep.

We were deciding what to do when our second child needed to be placed in preschool at the age of two. We started attending the group when our daughter was two and a half years old. The location is great for us logistically. I appreciate that we can park here, which is convenient when we take turns—one of us brings one child and the other picks them up. The premises are well suited for children.
