About us
We believe that every child is naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them. At Maloušci daycare, we support the development of skills, independence, and the joy of learning in accordance with the internationally recognized Montessori method, which has been used around the world for over 100 years.

Why Montessori?
The Montessori method is a proven educational system that helps children develop their natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning. Its benefits are confirmed not only by experts but also by successful Montessori graduates – including Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Princes William and Harry, and Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez.
Montessori pedagogy is based on scientific knowledge of sensitive periods in a child’s development – phases when children naturally learn certain skills with ease and genuine interest. If encouraged correctly during these periods, learning becomes a joyful experience for them.

How does the Montessori method work?
- „Help me do it by myself.“ – The child is given space to explore on their own, allowing them to be independent.
- Prepared environment – Montessori classrooms are organized so that children have free access to materials that meet their developmental needs.
- Free choice – Children choose activities that interest them while learning to respect others.
- Working with mistakes – Montessori materials include an "error control" feature, so children can discover and correct their mistakes themselves. This fosters independence and boosts their self-confidence. We follow the motto, "Mistakes are friends."
- Holistic learning – Children connect knowledge from various areas, learning through movement and senses, which supports their natural development.

We respect the sensitive phases of a child's growth
Every child has their unique learning rhythm. We help them discover the world at their own pace.
- Sensitive period for language learning – Children under 6 are naturally attuned to acquiring language. We support communication through various activities, encouraging both passive and active language use.
- Sensitive period for order – Between 18 months and 2.5 years, children intuitively seek an organized environment. We teach them how to maintain order and involve them in daily tasks such as cleaning and food preparation.
-
Support for independence and internal motivation – Children are never forced into anything. Through Montessori materials and practical activities, we foster their coordination, focus, and ability to learn with joy.

A Montessori environment tailored for little explorers
Our daycare is equipped with special Montessori tools and practical corners that allow children to explore the world with their hands and all their senses. Some of the favorite activities include:
- Flower arranging
- Mirror washing
- Craft activities
- Food preparation and dining
Every day with us is full of discoveries, joy, and new skills. Come and visit us to experience an environment where even the youngest children learn with enthusiasm and joy, guided by aware adults.

Independence and practical skills from an early age
Our daycare is a place where children learn everyday tasks naturally, in line with their growth:
- Self-care – regular potty/toilet use, dressing, cleaning up after themselves
- Taking care of themselves and their surroundings – preparing snacks, dining, washing dishes
- Motor and sensory development – practical activities from daily life
The caregiver here is not a traditional teacher but rather a guide, supporting children to discover things on their own. We follow one of the most well-known Montessori principles:
Help me do it by myself.

V Maloušcích věříme, že nejlepší investicí do budoucnosti dítěte je láskyplné a podnětné prostředí, kde může růst a učit se s radostí.
