Opening hours and arrival

Activities in both groups begin at 09:00, so we recommend arriving before 09:00.

We remain open throughout the year, including summer and school holidays. Closed on Slovenian public holidays.

Settling into Kindergarten

The adaptation process usually takes between three days and three weeks and is tailored to each child. We gradually extend attendance, with an emphasis on cooperation with parents, a predictable routine and calm, brief goodbyes.

We have also prepared a detailed example of the adaptation process for our younger Metuljčki group.

Your group’s notice board

The notice board outside each group’s room displays the group schedule, monthly plan, absence calendar and parent–teacher meeting schedule.

You can check the latest information, sign up for a meeting with the teachers and record your child’s absence there.

Talking with your child’s teacher

Individual meetings are arranged in advance. Monthly parent-teacher meetings take place on the first Thursday from 15:00. Sign up on the notice board.
