Our approach

What Little FLOW does differently.

Six principles that shape everyday life at the kindergarten.

01

Project-based learning in practice

Children learn through themes and projects that connect several areas at once — language, movement, making, logical thinking and working together. A theme like “Our city” can lead from a walk around the neighbourhood through building a model to a shared presentation for parents.

02

Czech and English every day

Czech and English are a natural part of every day. Children meet English in play, songs, ordinary conversation and shared activities.

03

Technology without screens

We introduce technology the tangible way — by building, exploring and playing, not through a screen. No tablets, no passive consumption.

04

A small group and individual attention

Thanks to the small group we have the space to really get to know each child, to follow their pace, needs and interests, and to give them enough attention.

05

A natural path to FLOW Elementary

Little FLOW follows naturally from the environment and philosophy of FLOW Elementary. Joint events, school visits and familiar surroundings can make the move into first grade easier. How we connect kindergarten and school →

06

Partnership with parents

We see parents as partners. We follow each child’s development, capture their progress in a portfolio and share regularly what they are moving forward in and what we want to focus on next — through the Twigsee app and in person.

Czech and English

Two languages, one childhood.

English at Little FLOW is not a subject or an after-school club. It is a natural part of the day and children meet it in situations that make sense.

How it works

Language belongs to the moment

English appears where it makes sense — in play, a shared project, making things, movement or ordinary conversation. The child doesn’t experience the language as “learning”, but as a natural part of the day.

No pressure

Understanding comes before speaking

Nobody is pushed to answer in English. Children understand first, then start on their own. A silent period is a normal part of the process, not a problem.

Who it fits

For Czech and international children

Little FLOW creates an environment where Czech and English meet naturally. Czech children get regular contact with English, and children from international families can gradually get to know Czech in everyday situations. We use both languages naturally, in context and with respect for each child’s pace.

People at Little FLOW

Who you’ll meet.

Little FLOW is built on relationships. Children are accompanied by a small, stable team that knows them, listens to them and supports them at their own pace.

A day at Little FLOW

Learning reaches beyond the classroom.

Every day has its rhythm, but no two are the same. Routines give children safety, while projects, movement, discovery and their own choices bring new experiences.

7:30 — 9:30

Morning and a shared start

Arrival, free play, community circle, movement and a snack.

9:30 — 11:45

Discovering and outdoors

Project, creative or investigative activities and time outside every day.

11:45 — 15:00

Lunch, rest and a calm return

Lunch, the option to leave afterwards, rest to suit the child and an afternoon snack.

15:00 — 17:00

Afternoon FLOW

Free play, making, movement, activity centres, time outside and finishing what was started.

The daily rhythm gives children certainty, while leaving plenty of room for their own pace, spontaneous play and discovery.

FLOW campus at Balabenka
Part of the FLOW family

From kindergarten to school without the leap

Little FLOW is the kindergarten of FLOW Elementary School — the Founders’ School. We share the Balabenka campus and the same approach to learning.

Joint events, portfolios, classroom visits. Children know their future teachers and spaces long before starting 1st grade — so first grade isn’t a jump into the unknown.

Families at FLOW

What families say.

Little FLOW is part of FLOW Elementary. These are the words of parents whose children are already at the school next door.

I wanted a school my son would look forward to, one where learning would be fun. Not only does he look forward to it, he often doesn't want to come home.
Veronikaparent at FLOW Elementary
Our daughter transferred from a state school to FLOW and the difference is unmistakable. Every morning she goes to school full of enthusiasm and praises all the teachers.

Common questions

What parents ask us most often.

The honest answers, before you even come to see us.

Where do the children go outside?

Every day to the Balabenka playground — a 3-minute walk from the building. The building also has its own outdoor terrace, which we use for play and activities.

Do you take two-year-olds who are not yet out of nappies?

Yes. We take children who still wear nappies and we help them through the transition at their own pace, together with you.

How does settling in work and how long does it take?
Roughly four weeks, but always at your child’s pace. During the first days you are welcome to stay in the classroom with your child; stays then grow gradually — first until the morning snack or lunch, later including rest after lunch. The full settling-in process →
Can we come fewer than five days a week?

Yes. You choose 3, 4 or 5 days a week, and a full day or a shorter day. The combination is up to you.
