“Working with children has always been my true passion. I believe it is a privilege to be part of their growth and development. I think children need a considerate, peaceful and sensible environment to achieve their full potential. I always look forward to creating a fun and engaging learning environment that develops trust and self-confidence.”
Jessica Larson
Teacher, native English speaker
Education: high school
In Prague since 2016
“I come from a small town in Idaho, USA where my love for teaching children began. When I was 26 I decided to travel and wanted to meet new people, cultures and places. Traveling taught me how to attract children’s attention and taught me patience. I also believe in a calm and positive attitude and creating a safety environment for learning. I enjoy working with children and I like to encourage them to try new things, to be creative. My goal is to bring plenty of fun, joy and creativity to our kindergarten.”
Andrea Rominger
Head of Opalinka Flora, native Czech speaker
Education: high school
Teaching experience: Great Britain, USA, Spain
“Working with children is an extremely creative job and at the same time a great responsibility. I am fascinated by how children develop every single day and grow up just in front of you. The family atmosphere in our kindergarten is for m the most important. I got my first experience with children abroad as a professional nanny. I lived in England, in the United States and then in Spain. After returning to the Czech Republic I worked in a private kindergarten as a native speaker assistant for 4 years and later as a primary class teacher for preschool children. I have really rich experience with children from 2 to 8 years. I attend special trainings regulary, I have taken countless courses and also collaborated on the project Teaching English in a playful way. In Opalinka I teach Czech language and pre-school preparation.”
