Daycare Zhu’kova

The bilingual kindergarten People&Kids is located in a good ecological area of Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, near Serebryany Bor. We offer educational programs to children from 2 to 7 years old. The kindergarten is staffed by professional teachers, educators, and native speakers. We have 4 groups, formed by age:
Toddlers 2 – 3 years old
Nursery 4 – 5 years old
Reception 5 – 6 years old
Preschool 6 – 7 years old
There is also an after-school club for primary school children. In organizing the educational process, we follow the requirements of FSES (the Federal State Educational Standard) and standards of SanPiN. Each group has a specially developed daily schedule and all activities are appropriate for the age of the children.
In our kindergarten there is a professional cook, we have our own kitchen and can provide meals for children with hypoallergenic diet. All groups are equipped with video surveillance cameras.
People&Kids kindergarten takes a holistic approach to children’s development: our program includes activities aimed at the intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of your child. Every day the children have classes with native speakers, and much attention is paid to school preparation. We also offer classes with a psychologist, music and dance lessons and physical education. We arrange festive performances with the participation of a professional art director, have fun holidays and birthdays, interesting indoor and outdoor events, and go for walks in Serebryany Bor.
We offer a wide range of extra clubs and activities: your child can have classes with a speech therapist, judo, football, chess, robotics or mental arithmetic classes or individual lessons with native speakers. Children under the age of 3 can attend developmental classes with our nursery group or “Mom and Baby” classes.
