PRESCHOOL READINESS
PREPARATION BEYOND THE EXPECTED
A Seamless Transition to Elementary School
At BASIS Prague, our teachers ignite a love of learning through thematic and engaging experiences. We support and inspire each child through a content-rich curriculum that fosters their development and helps them reach their full potential within a vibrant, immersive English-speaking environment.
Our preschool program is led by passionate, early education experts who create joyful learning experiences for our students. We nurture each child’s imagination and curiosity, all while laying a strong foundation for long-term academic success.
"It is always rewarding to see how prepared our children are when they move forward. They carry with them not only knowledge, but also confidence in themselves as learners. This is something that has been built gradually through everyday experiences in our preschool."
Táňa Slobodová, Director of BASIS Prague International Preschool
The BASIS Prague preschool program is specifically designed to bridge the gap between playful discovery and structured learning. By developing executive functions—such as focus, working memory, and self-regulation—our students gain a significant head start. As a result, they enter elementary school with stronger concentration and achieve stronger academic outcomes upon entering elementary school.
We prepare children for a confident move into the school environment within a familiar setting, ensuring that the transition to Level 1 is smooth, natural, and stress-free.
