All or nothing. Project finished on Jun 29, 2016 at 12:41.
Five years ago, two friends Barbora (teacher) and Barbora (translator) founded an association All4Kids to let them work with children along with their ideas. They have been discussing having their own preschool for years, but still did not have enough time and courage to start such project. However, after they both left quite exhausting jobs (Barbora needed some time off without teaching, Barbora found relax with her own little children), they finally gained time to think about it. And all of a sudden, they found out there isno forest kindergarten in English in the Czech Republic! And also none, that would not hide from the city in the woods! And they also realized they have an amazing friend Marketa (manager), who agrees with all of it!
The aim of the project is to open an English Outdoor Preschool in Prague, the forest kindergarten set in the urban environment on purpose. In which the children kind of by the way learn English. And to offer it for a reasonable price, just to cover its operational expenses.
Vyšehrad Monsters is a first preschool of its kind. It is based on principles of forest kindergatens, meaning children spend most of their time outdoors, they learn outside the traditional class and they learn how to protect natural environment. The wholy new aspect is the emphasis on urban environment as well, as children naturally move around in the city and they can learn from it as much as they can from nature. Moreover, they become adapted to English language in an early age, which gives them unreplaceable advantage in a global world of today. Although it is going to be a private preschool, it will be operated by a non profit organization, all its incomes will therefore be spent just and only on its operation. At the moment, there is no such facility in the Czech Republic available. It is perfect for parents who want their children to be outside as much as possible, but not in a bubble outside the real world. And also for families with children not speaking Czech, who can only choose from expensive international preschools for the time being.
The association All4Kids, focusing on preschool education and free-time activities for children, has more than 5 years of history. We ran the English class in the preschool MŠ Domeček, organized winter camps and summer camps for children of prechool and early school age and other events. We have enough education and experience in the field of our project, we know how to do it and we do it well.
The investments to start the project are managable with using our own savings together with crowdfunding. Through hithit, we would also like to form a community of people, who think as well as we do, that such option for preschoolers and their parents is missing here and they want to support us to change it.
