Over 25 years of experience in holistic child development
At Svetlina, we don’t just take care of education—we create an environment where children grow up confident, aware, and happy. With a holistic model, original programs, and proven experience, we are a partner for every family looking for something more than a standard kindergarten.
Nursery – the first independent steps
Here, everything starts with trust, rhythm, and warmth. Our nursery group is not just a place for care – it is a carefully created environment where children explore, communicate, get used to being in a group, and grow confidently.
Kindergarten – where play is a path to the world
With us, play is meaningful, movement is purposeful, and every activity is geared toward overall development. We develop emotional intelligence, creativity, and social skills from an early age.
Preschool class – a confident start to school and beyond
In the preschool group, children don’t just “prepare” – they grow. We develop independence, thinking, language, emotions, and concentration through a holistic approach that goes beyond the curriculum. No stress or unnecessary pressure – with respect for each child’s individual pace.
Locations
Why choose Svetlina Day Care Center
Security and acceptance
The early years are the most important – that is why we create an environment in which every child grows up calm, confident, and happy.
Relationship with teachers
That is why our most important concern is to build a stable, warm relationship between the child and their teachers.
Emotional intelligence
We work with a holistic approach – we teach children to recognize their feelings, communicate with others, and cope with challenges from an early age.
Bilingual environment
English is part of everyday life – it is not learned, but experienced. In a bilingual environment, children begin to understand and use English in a natural and relaxed way – through play, songs, and real-life situations.
No screens
We believe that the real world is the best environment for learning. We do not use screens in our groups – children learn through play, communication, and sensory experience.
Outdoor time
Every day, children go outside, and outdoor activities include both free play and lessons in nature.
Learning through experience
We create exciting moments outside the classroom – with visits to the theater, hikes, themed meetings, and summer adventures. This way, children learn through real-life situations and unforgettable emotions.
Clubs
We offer a rich program of clubs – sports, music, arts and more. This is a time when children discover their interests and develop confidence.
Partnership with parents
We share with you the important moments, progress, and joys of your child – because we believe in partnership.

We do not have an age limit, but the child must be able to walk steadily.

Yes.
Children are fed four times a day:
Morning breakfast
Snack with fresh fruits and vegetables
Lunch with a three-course menu – soup, main course, dessert
Afternoon snack
The food is nutritious and fully complies with age needs and the standards of the Ministry of Health. Our goal is to provide children with a properly balanced and healthy diet, including plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Early habituation to environmentally friendly eating, as well as good table manners, are also among our priorities.
We also offer an individual diet, tailored to the requirements of the family or pediatrician: for allergies, chronic diseases, and others.
