Kindergarten
We create a fully bilingual Czech-English environment where children discover the world with natural curiosity, joy and confidence in their own abilities.
Discover Sunny Kindergarten
At Sunny, we believe every child is unique and deserves an environment where they can explore, grow and shine at their own pace.
The Sunny Child Profile
Every child discovers the world in their own way. In Sunny’s safe environment, they develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes, and gradually grow into a curious, happy, caring, resilient, diversity-embracing, capable and honest person.
The Child Profile captures the qualities and attitudes we develop together: curiosity, care, resilience, openness to diversity, the ability to learn, honesty and joy.
Every child shines with their own light.
How We Learn
Our teaching strategies are the approaches we use in everyday learning at Sunny. Our aim isn’t to hand children ready-made answers, but to create opportunities for them to discover the answers themselves. Seven approaches, one day at Sunny.
One Natural Path
At Sunny, we create a natural bilingual environment where children grow up in everyday contact with English, while also developing their Czech in line with their age and learning needs.
Play
Children get to know the world, themselves and others through play. We see it as the most natural way for a child to learn. Through play, children discover, experiment, cooperate, handle different situations, communicate and gain new experiences.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Children observe, ask questions, experiment, make connections and test their ideas. Inquiry-based learning develops not only knowledge, but also the ability to think, look for different solutions and enjoy the thrill of their own discoveries.
“The deepest understanding comes when a child can discover the world through their own experience.”
Questions and Dialogue
Children have space to think, express their opinions, share their experiences and ask their own questions. We see dialogue as a natural part of everyday learning and discovering together.
Cooperation
We give children opportunities to work together in play, projects and everyday activities. Cooperation develops not only social skills, but also respect, responsibility and the joy of reaching a goal together.
“Children learn not only from their teacher, but every day from one another, too.”
Learning from Mistakes
We create an environment where children can safely try new approaches, look for different solutions and learn from their own experience. Mistakes are a natural part of learning. They give children a chance to think and find new ways. Teachers value effort, perseverance and the search for different paths to a solution.
Reflection
Children share their experiences, name what they’ve discovered and learned, and gradually become aware of their own progress. Reflection is a natural part of everyday learning.
Every Day in Practice
School Education Programme
Hello, children!
My name is Suník the Moose.
The Journey to the Sun is the central story and the visual and values framework of the school education programme at Sunny Kindergarten. It is inspired by the symbol in our logo – the Sun with five rays – five integrated blocks representing the main areas of a child’s development.
Suník’s Year
Integrated Blocks
Each ray represents one path of a child’s discovery and development. Together they form a connected whole in which the individual areas naturally overlap. This way, children understand the world in context rather than in separate topics.

01 · Leaf
Through discovery, experimenting, time outdoors and everyday experiences, children develop curiosity, learn to see connections and build a positive relationship with nature, the place where they live and the responsibility to protect it.
02 · Thought
Children have space to think, explore different solutions, come up with their own ideas and learn from their own experience. They naturally develop logical reasoning, creativity and the ability to work together in the search for answers.
03 · Bridge
Children connect experiences from home, kindergarten and the wider community, learn to cooperate, respect others and understand the links between people, rules and their surroundings. They naturally develop social skills and responsibility, and get ready for the next step in their educational journey.
04 · Values
Children learn to work together, help others, accept differences, resolve disagreements respectfully and take responsibility for their actions. They naturally develop empathy, consideration, honesty and the ability to build safe and supportive relationships.
05 · Joy
Through play, movement, music, creative activities and time outdoors, children develop healthy self-confidence, perseverance and an eagerness to explore the world. They naturally build a positive attitude to learning, which becomes the foundation of lifelong curiosity.
