A day at Little FLOW
Learning reaches beyond the classroom.
Every day is different — and that’s by design. Routines give children safety, projects give them meaning.
Open 7:30 — 17:00
Outside every day
Czech and English
Quiet afternoons
Time outdoors
Outside every single day.
We are in an office building, so this is the first thing parents ask. The answer is simple: we go out every day.
Every day
Going outside is a fixed part of the daily rhythm, not a reward or an extra. We dress for the weather and go.
Our own terrace
The building has its own outdoor terrace. We use it for play, for activities and for a change of air between blocks.
Daily programme
What a day at Little FLOW looks like.
The daily rhythm gives children certainty, while leaving plenty of room for their own pace, spontaneous play and unexpected discoveries. The times are indicative — if something really catches the children’s attention, we don’t end it just because “it’s time to move on”.
7:30 — 8:30
Arriving and starting the day
Children arrive gradually and have time to settle calmly into the space and the group. They can choose free play, an activity centre, a book or a quiet task of their own. The teacher has room to welcome each child, meet the parent briefly and notice the mood a child arrives with.
8:30 — 9:00
A shared morning
The community circle helps children understand what lies ahead, share their experiences and sense the group. The morning also includes movement, a short exercise, rhythm or a language activity.
9:00 — 9:30
Morning snack
Eating together is also an opportunity for independence, conversation and ordinary social habits. Czech and English appear naturally, depending on the situation and the teacher present.
9:30 — 10:15
The main learning offer
This is where the weekly FLOW rhythm shows most. One day children explore in activity centres, another they create, experiment, work on a project or prepare for an outing. This is not frontal teaching. Children work alone, in pairs or in a small group, and the teacher guides them with questions, materials and support.
10:15 — 11:45
Outdoors and in the real world
Time outside isn’t just “getting some air”. Children observe nature, move, work with their surroundings, go on outings and connect what they’re exploring indoors with the real world.
11:45 — 12:30
Lunch and the shift to a calmer part of the day
Lunch together, hygiene and a window for collecting children on the shorter programme. The pace of the day gradually slows.
12:30 — 14:00
Rest, as each child needs it
Some children sleep, others just need a quiet moment. We offer a story, relaxation, reading or quiet activities. What matters is that a child can recharge in the way that suits them.
14:00 — 15:00
A slow return to the day
Waking, hygiene, stretching, calm play and an afternoon snack. The transition is never rushed.
15:00 — 17:00
Afternoon FLOW
The afternoon isn’t waiting for parents. Children can return to an unfinished project, create, work in activity centres, be outside or follow their own play. The smaller group gives the teacher room for individual work, observation and support for a particular child.
Why the day isn’t a fixed timetable
The daily rhythm is an indicative frame. When something really catches the children’s attention, we give them time to finish it or take it further.
The shorter day ends at 12:30, the full-day programme at 17:00. See the rates under tuition.
And what changes during the week?
The same daily rhythm is joined by the weekly FLOW rhythm.
Discovering · Creating · Investigating · Experiencing · Moving and sharing.
Experiential learning
A project doesn’t end at the classroom door.
Children learn best when they can truly experience the world. So we head out regularly, meet interesting people and connect projects with real places, situations and experiences.
Nature and ecology
Trips into nature, ecology programmes, gardening, observing the natural world and themes of sustainability. We are gradually building partnerships with ecology centres so children can get to know nature in the field.
Horses and caring for animals
With the Quo Vadis riding centre in Hloubětín, children get to know the world of horses, learn to approach them with respect, notice their needs and gain experience they simply cannot have in a classroom.
Meeting across generations
With the Mezi námi project and the Senevida care home we bring children together with seniors. These meetings make room for talking, reading, making things and other activities where two generations can meet naturally.
Movement and new skills
Where possible we also want to offer swimming, skating and other physical activities that build coordination, independence and the joy of moving.
Stays away from the kindergarten
During the year we also want to offer children bigger shared experiences, such as an outdoor school and, depending on age and group, a winter stay or a ski course.
How we follow progress
We follow every child individually.
We follow each child’s progress continuously, keep their portfolio and share regularly with parents what they are moving forward in and what we want to focus on next.
Our spaces
Light, wood and calm.
The kindergarten is located at the FLOW campus in Balabenka — together with the elementary school, with its own separate operation for the youngest.
You’ll see them best in person — every Thursday at an Experience Morning.
Rolling admissions · limited capacity
Want to see a real day?
Come on Thursday for an Experience Morning — walk through the kindergarten, meet the teachers and see an ordinary morning.
