About us
The Buzzy Bee preschool was founded in 2005 and it is managed by the teachers for whom teaching is a passion. Kasia and Renata put all their hearts and create a place friendly for children, in which every kid feels comfortable exploring the surrounding world and at the same time acquiring the English language. Our teachers are intermediaries between the environment and the child and let them explore the reality unaided. The child through experiencing, aiming at self-reliance encounters various difficulties, and in the process of overcoming them asks a reliable person i.e. the teacher for assistance. The assistance is not doing things for the child, but supporting the child in attaining the self-reliance. Our teachers do not criticize, do not punish, do not praise the child thanks to which they arouse enthusiasm, willingness to be active, which people should draw from the passion for what they do, not making it conditional on prizes or punishments they get.

The nearness of the wood ensures the possibility of observing: the surrounding nature, the animals living there, and activities based on the pedagogy of wilderness.
What Parents say
My daughter, who is in the 3rd year of primary school, keeps dreaming of returning to the Buzzy Bee. My son is repeating every day that he will be staying in the preschool and learning new things. I am grateful for all the staff for their professionalism, mother’s care and learning through fun.
The kids have been attending classes only for a month, but both they and we took to the preschool very quickly. Professional staff, lots of great ideas for activities with the children, the teachers’ commitment to work, not to mention the advantages of bilingual education.
The preschool is composed of people with passion and energy, and what is most important, with professionalism. Care of the child at the highest level.
Wonderful, family atmosphere, super staff – simply people with a passion for teaching and love for children. I recommend strongly!
Education
Mutual respect
The Buzzy Bee preschool count upon building up a relation with a child based on mutual respect. In the contact we are guided by the NVC (Nonvalient communication).Our task as teachers is:
• Making contact with the child based on observing and not their assessment and labelling.
• Serious treatment of the child and their needs.
• Teaching and assistance in naming feelings and needs.
• Being with the children “here and now”.
Having been inspired by psychologist Jasper Jull’s assumptions we reinforce the child’s self-esteem, indicate possibilities and do not impose our choices and preferences.
Our preschool creates the space in making decisions by the child, deciding about themselves, and building up self-reliance.
We give the children the freedom of choice in exploring the environment. We do not assess or interrupt. We do not assist when the assistance is redundant. We allow the children to bury themselves in their desires, which can inspire self-development and self-discipline. We are close to the children. We establish a tie.
Language education
In teaching reading and writing we serve with glottodidactics preparing the children to learn how to read and write. Professor Roclawski’s system is aimed at individual mode of teaching the child in accordance with their potential and pace of growth. The learning of reading and writing proceeds in a convivial atmosphere and produces amazing effects.Natural acquisition of a foreign language
The immersion method is natural foreign-language acquisition. The method, in which the children spend time with a person who does not speak in their mother tongue. The immersion method teaches the child the language to be used in direct communication. Our kids perform fine on holiday abroad, commenting on the adults’ wrong pronunciation or subtle accent mistakes. However, we cannot forget about the fact that foreign language acquisition proceeds at individual pace attributed to the growth potential of a given child.Montessori pedagogy
Montessori pedagogy comprises complex teaching material to work with the child, which is compose of a set of didactic tools called the Montessori Material. The material is ordered thematically and easily accessible to the child (within arm’s reach).The Montessori Material can be divided into the following sections:
• Practical life – the material includes a number of tasks, which the children observe as a natural element of their home life.
• Sensoric material – introduces to the world of dimensions, surfaces, shapes, enables the child to model basic geometric notions. The children learn how to recognize and select their impressions through touch, eyesight, smell, taste and hearing.
• Material for mathematical education - comprises learning numbers, performing arithmetical operations, increasing the degree of difficulty, operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on symbols.
• Language learning material – serves to enrich vocabulary, teach reading and writing, introduce grammatical notions.
• Culture shows the child natural and cultural aspects of our world providing everyday contact with animate and inanimate nature.
