Daycare Polyanka


B. Polyanka 44
Open from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 7 pm

People&Kids international kindergarten is located in the very heart of Moscow, in the beautiful area of ​​Yakimanka, Zamoskvorechye. The building is founded in a closed and supervised area of Polyanka 44 Residential complex. This is the first kindergarten in Moscow designed by people&baby architects from France.

We offer educational programs to children from a few months to 7 years old. There are 3 groups formed not only basing on the children’s age, but also taking into account every child’s individual features:

Toddlers – from a few months to 2.5 years old

Middle group – from 2,5 to 3,5 years

Senior group – from 4 to 6 years old

The People&Kids kindergarten is a place with a unique interior, a safe environment and a warm, cozy and family-like atmosphere. In the kindergarten, there is a room for water games, a music hall, a sensory room for relaxation and an international library.

We offer a healthy and balanced diet (5 meals a day) and, if necessary, special meals (vegetarian, lactose-free, etc.).

Everyday we communicate in 3 languages – English, French and Russian. In our kindergarten we offer language classes with experienced Native speakers, educational games and master classes, music lessons on the acoustic piano. We like to celebrate holidays and organize fun birthdays for our little students.

We offer a wide range of extra clubs and activities: your child can have classes with a psychologist, a speech therapist, individual English and French lessons, sand therapy, dancing and yoga classes.


Summer Camps : from June to August, the kindergarten Polyanka welcomes children for a program of great thematic activities. Weekly registration possible.
