”It has always been my great hobby to learn foreign languages, that is why I graduated from the University of Pedagogy, majoring in English and German. At the same time, I have always gravitated towards children, I have 3 children myself, which is why I decided in 2005 to found a language center for children of preschool and school age. I know from my experience that the earlier a child starts learning a foreign language, the better. Children in this period learn the language quickly, they do not think about it like adults. So my goal is to teach children a foreign language through play, so that learning takes place in a natural way.
After gaining a lot of experience in teaching children's language, I founded a Czech-English kindergarten in 2015. It is a joy for me to see when a child begins to speak not only one foreign language, but two at the same time. I know that teachers are a very key factor, I always choose them with my heart and some of my own intuition, and I must point out that I am doing well. We have a great team of teachers.”

" I am American and have lived abroad with my teacher husband for over 12 years. I am a mom to two young adults who grew up in third cultures. We enjoy Prague for its rich culture and quality of life. This is our sixth year in Prague after having a break in the USA during the Covid-19 pandemic. I come to Opalinka with a love for young children to help them grow and learn. I have been in the preschool classroom in schools in North Africa, the Middle East, the USA and Europe. Children can learn best when they feel secure and cared for while they are at school. My 8 years of teaching children from different parts of the world has helped me understand how to guide children in play while they are simultaneously learning English. I follow best practices for young children from both the UK and the USA. My favorite activities are literacy focused; reading books and telling stories. I understand that the environment is the third teacher and strive to make the classroom a stimulating, calm place. Teaching young children is a most rewarding experience!"

"I've always known that I would work with children, as it fulfills me. I want to motivate them to discover themselves and the world, and create an environment where they feel safe, loved, and accepted. My mission is not only to educate children and prepare them for primary school but also to nurture their love for themselves and others. What children learn about themselves, others, and the world in the preschool years is deeply ingrained in their subconscious and influences them throughout their lives. Therefore, I consider it crucial for children to experience a respectful, loving, and supportive approach from adults. I aim to help them build trust in themselves, understand their own emotions, teach them how to manage them, and develop their ability to listen to others, communicate, collaborate, and respect differences. At the same time, I support children in expressing what they feel, what they like or dislike, voicing their needs and feelings, and gradually discovering their potential.
My studies from high school to my master's degree were focused on preschool education. High school provided me with practical foundations for working with children, where I engaged in internships in preschools, created puppet shows, and participated in educational events. At university, I gained a broader perspective on preschool education. I gained practical experience as a teacher and assistant in preschools, including working at a Czech-Slovak school and an English school in London."
"I’m a native English speaker born and raised in the US, where I graduated from Wesleyan College with a degree in communications. I moved to Prague in 2021 to be near my husband’s family and we had a baby girl here in 2022. We are in love with Prague and with the way families and children are prioritized in the Czech Republic. Having a child has given me a renewed sense of purpose and nothing gives me more joy than to see the world through her eyes. Motherhood has inspired me to work with children and I am so excited to be a part of your children’s growth, development and sense of wonder."
