From the first visit to Creative Kids, we knew we’d found exactly what we were looking for: a genuine and authentic human approach to children, an understanding of the children’s world, respect for the child’s soul and, above all, the sheer joy of spending time with children every day.
Gradually, we noticed how well people at Creative Kids understand each child and how they build a real relationship with him or her, corresponding to what the child is like. There was a lot of trust between the children, the staff and the parents. In addition, Creative Kids provides a wide range of activities for each child to choose from based on their preferences.
Above all: the children at Creative Kids are happy children. They are themselves and enjoy their pure childhood. This is exactly what was the most important for us when we were choosing a kindergarten.
Thank you for the wonderful experience. We wish Creative Kids many more happy children and happy parents, as in our case.

Dear Mr. Principal,
I would like to share with you my impressions of the sports morning that you decided to spend at our Rosnička playground.
Three teachers brought a group of children in an orderly way and immediately began to prepare the children for sports activities. I was very impressed by the warm-up, which was led by the children themselves. This is an unprecedented thing for kindergartens. I can compare this to other schools, such as primary schools, and I haven’t noticed anything like that there either.
Even the smallest children handled the hurdle race well and repeated it several times with great joy. A big surprise for me were the performances of children in the long jump, which was at the level of much older children. The physical abilities of even the youngest children fascinated me because they managed to run around the playground without difficulty and with interest.
In the end, the children threw a ball, again performing above the average I see on the playgrounds at other schools. The series of sports activities was carefully photographed by a photographer. In the end, the children also enjoyed a shower of water from a hose – cold but filling them with great joy.
I am writing to you mainly because I was very pleased with the teachers’ approach to children. I know the kindergarten environment well and I immediately realised the difference between your school and others. Addressing children as “friends” characterises your teachers’ relationship with children. At every step, it could be seen that they love the children and that the children give the love back to them. I saw that the teachers did not miss a single opportunity to increase the children’s knowledge and skills. They take care of the children in the most important period of their lives, when a person is formed and shaped.
I like professionals who love their job and are perfect. I was pleased with the professionals from your school, and I’ll be happy if you decide to come back to our playground.

Our daughter Elenka spent three years at Creative Kids. After a previous bad experience from another kindergarten, I was looking for a kindergarten that offers us an active environment and a friendly group of children. When Elena and I were at home together, she would go swimming, do gymnastics, singing and dancing, and she could continue with these activities at Creative Kids and learn many other things. We are glad we chose this kindergarten because it met all of our expectations.
The friendly environment, helpfulness, respect and wide range of activities and excursions, which Creative Kids offers helped her get used to the new environment very quickly.
Her three years at Creative Kids were very inspiring, entertaining and happy for her. Today, Elenka is an independent girl, who has no problem showing what she knows. She is friendly with all children, regardless of their gender or age.
We would like to thank Director Mr. Morbacher, Jitka and the whole Creative Kids team for three years full of activities, experiences, enjoyment, fun and for countless holiday adventures. It was a ride!
PS: We are looking forward to further cooperation. Our younger daughter is starting to walk J.

I came across the Creative Kids suburban summer camp by accident when I was looking for a summer program for our daughter. We live abroad and she mainly speaks in English, I wanted a place where she could not only enjoy the summer and meet new friends, but also speak Czech. I never thought that Creative Kids would exceed my expectations. Let me summarize it in a few points:
environment:
beautiful school with a huge garden, very nice teacher and harmonious environment. I came for my daughter early several times and found the children singing or playing games with the teacher in the garden.
program:
every week has a different theme and a summer full of experience really came true. The children were familiarized with and tried out various occupations, either through a beautiful day trip (a pirate day on a boat, a trip to a swimming pool, a bare foot path or another) or in another way. She walked home happy and full of impressions.
what I was not expecting:
My daughter spoke Czech during the first two weeks, finally even talking to her grandfather in Czech. I really like how they lead the children be independent and creative. And most importantly, it can be seen how Mr. Morbacher and the teacher do their work with love, and the cheery on the cake was the beautiful pictures of all their adventures and trips. Well and I am one happy mummy, because my daughter even dreams about the suburban summer camp.

Hi to everyone who´s looking for a kindergarten for your child!
Our daughter Kristýnka has spent 4 years at Creative Kids during which she has undergone great personality change at one of the most important times of her life in terms of development.
At first, Kristýnka was very fixed, hardened and detached, and upon enrolment, we had considerable concerns about how she will perceive the change of environment. In the first year, she was scared to perform at an enclosed kindergarten show. She has always mourned such situations. Over time, her personality has become strong thanks to the kindergarten´s activities, countless trips, smaller groups and abundant attention coming from the nursemaids. She has become a person who is not afraid to be creative, be content with oneself, who is happy in a team and who can confidently show what she can do even in front of a foreign audience.
What is the most interesting about the Creative Kids kindergarten is the way they communicate with children and how they educate them towards something that has been gradually disappearing from our society. Respect towards an authority, friendship, mutual respect and decency, whilst maintaining a confident, team and independent personality.
It is somewhat surprising how children treat each other in the kindergarten, how they treat the nursemaids, strangers and how they do basically everything with such great interest.
We do not doubt that with the foundations from Creative Kids, our child can expect a good start at school and further in life. The kindergarten has set a high bar in Kristýnka´s education and it has been greatly difficult choosing where to continue with primary school education. :)
P.S: Maybe you are lacking some criticism in your references. Keep calm, to be honest, there were so few negative moments that I cannot recall a single one. :)
Thank you very much for the fact that our children are not indifferent to you. It was a splendid choice.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Creative Kids kindergarten for its enthusiasm with which they take care of children. The kids have a varied colourful programme on a daily basis. The weeks are themed. The themes project into a daylong programme and are tailored to children depending on their age including the department of the smallest. Children have the opportunity to select multiple clubs which are very well managed from the position of the lector. There is a daylong trip every week that is customised to the week´s theme or the season. English is taught in a fun way, very appealing to children who then obtain a positive relationship towards the language. If I can compare, this effect fully replaces children´s lessons of for example Helen Doron´s methods. The kindergarten values versatile growth of the children and adapts to specific needs of individuals.
As one of very few kindergartens, Creative Kids accommodates to the needs of children with dietary limitations (which wasn´t our case), but it is a very limiting factor for many parents when ensuring a preschool facility. The environment is very pleasant, aesthetic and completely tailored to children´s needs. I would evaluate the year-round operation including the holiday months very positively. Thanks to older children, I can compare the different (sadly also dreadful) levels of state kindergartens and I can say that Creative Kids´ approach is truly unique.

We have a six-year old son. He has been attending the Creative Kids kindergarten for three years. The reason for enrolment into Year 1 of the kindergarten was pragmatic, the state kindergarten did not have a spot for our boy and my wife´s parental leave was ending, so we were looking for an alternative that would be acceptable for us in terms of both costs and commuting. The approach of the kindergarten, the number of cultural, sport and social activities, all sorts of trips and experiences, and especially our smiling and content child, have resulted in the decision that we will continue for two more years at Creative Kids. The last, preschool year was an imaginary icing on the cake, our son was brilliantly prepared for talent exams at a private primary school and succeeded in them, all that without drill, simply with a natural desire to learn new things in a fun and nonviolent form with a smile on his face. We would definitely recommend this kindergarten. Thank You!!

This year, I underwent a marathon of 1st grade enrolment sessions with my son Tom. I refer to it as a marathon because visiting 4 primary schools in two days in a limited time due to endless queues (boomers - 2008, 2009) was a true achievement. In all schools, I only heard phrases like “Do not count on us accepting Tom, our capacity is fully filled with children from this school district, you should also apply elsewhere.” (I intentionally submitted my son´s applications to schools outside our school district due to an unsatisfactory school in our school district). On the other hand, I also heard some positive news from the teachers. They said that Tom was very smart, he was able to do everything that was required of him, and he was communicative and that they would love to have a pupil like him in the first grade at their school. This was followed by two weeks of stress and waiting for the results. Eventually, the headmasters of schools started to contact me themselves saying that although Tom is from a different school district and his number (his sequence number during the enrolment sessions) was often very high (due to the marathon in queues), there were a few spots left after filling the classes with children from the school district and that they accepted Tom as a child with very high scores during enrolment and I should confirm that it would be their school that he would attend. And so it happened that Tom was accepted to all four primary schools (Gajdošova, Kuldova, Zemědělská, and Milénova) and my husband and I suddenly had more pleasant worries - deciding which school Tom would attend. I believe that enormous credit for how well prepared he was for enrolment goes to teachers from the Creative Kids Kindergarten because they share information and knowledge from all possible areas with children in a fun and unforced form during everyday activities, thereby incredibly expanding their general knowledge. I am glad that my husband and I decided to sign up Tom for Creative Kids in his last year of preschool because this decision pays off every day in the form of a happy, smart, and curious child who will not have any problems communicating with others, defending his views and succeeding in the future. Thank you very much, Creative Kids.

Spending a year with Creative Kids preschool has been one of my best decisions. Although based on positive references, it was still a step into the unknown – abandoning the environment of the state preschool and classmates, the necessity to pay fees and having to commute. On the other hand, we wished to bring up an independent pre-schooler and subsequently a schoolchild whose day at preschool would be filled with diverse activities that would advance his abilities. To this aim there is a class at Creative Kids specifically for older children who are getting ready to start school. So, it is not only a private establishment catering to children who in terms of age cannot attend state preschool. Furthermore, I must point out the individual approach to every child, partnership-based communication with the child and the parent, weekly trips, a winter ski course, summer preschool out in the countryside, everyday out-of-school activities (swimming, zumba, gymnastics, singing and salt cave visits in the winter) and garden parties. On behalf of our whole family, including our two older children and the grandparents, I would like to give my thanks for all the care our youngest child has been given, for our common experiences, and I wish all the teachers – particularly the Headmaster Mr Morbacher, Jitka, Šárka and Anetka – a bountiful supply of good ideas and enthusiasm in the work with "their" children.

Creative Kids is a preschool that pulses with genuine and natural life in which every child has their place, from which they derive a lot of inspiration and zest for their future life, joy in discovering and learning. My daughter Dominika, who attended Creative Kids from the age of 3 until the age of 6, is living proof of this. From a cautious child has developed a very clever and cheerful young lady with a great interest in furthering her abilities and knowledge. Kindness and sincerity are matter-of-fact to her, she is aware of her own individuality and she respects the individuality of others. In short, she is not a mere "herd animal" and this makes me truly happy. I particularly thank Mr Morbacher and Jitka for their intelligent approach to children, setting more than a great example.

Dear Headmaster, I would like to thank you very much for accepting Lucinka into your preschool. I am truly happy that Lucinka enjoys her time at preschool so much, and most of all I would like to thank all of you that Lucinka has adapted to your school in such a short time and that most importantly she is a happy, content and stress-free little girl again. She looks forward to preschool and keeps making progress ;-) I am truly delighted that there is such a preschool in Brno and am glad that the state preschool did not accept us in September, giving Lucinka the chance to attend your preschool.
Every time I come and pick Lucinka up, the beautifully contented atmosphere, the smile on everyone´s faces and above all, the children laughing constantly, even at 5 pm, are truly heart-warming. Your preschool gets a mark of 1* from us. I am also pleased that the catering centres around healthy food, which cannot be said about the nursery or the state preschool. Many thanks to all of you at the preschool.

Creative Kids is an amazing, timeless school with a lovely and well-functioning set-up, large garden with a trampoline, sandpit, swings, slide...and, mainly, with excellent teachers with heads full of ideas. The kids definitely won´t get bored! :o) My daughter comes back from school happy, full of experiences and ideas, loves the dance and music groups, horse-riding outings, swimming, gallery visits, at 3 years old she can count without any help from me, sings, dances, recognises letters and now and again, to my amazement, some words of English...amazing! Nor can I fault the food they give them; it´s varied, and the mere fact that for snacks they often do homemade buns and cakes, it´s unique... I couldn´t have chosen any better and I can say now that we´ll both be upset when she starts going to the state school and we have to leave all her lovely teachers and friends.

I would like to thank all of the teachers at Creative Kids, especially Jitka, Sarka and the director of the school, Mr Morbacher, for the attention and care they gave to our children and for teaching them everything they´ll need in life. My daughter Viktorka was accepted into the primary school Bakalovo nabrezi (about 170 applicants for just three classes) and I´m certain that she won her place thanks to the perfect preschool education system at Creative Kids. And she passed the English exam with flying colours - again thanks to Creative Kids. We couldn´t have chosen a better kindergarten. I highly recommend Creative Kids kindergarten to all parents that value an excellent education and maintaining standards of good behaviour. Thank you.

I can definitely recommend CREATIVE KIDS preschool in all regards. The school is located in a house with a lovely and spacious garden with fully-grown trees and a nice play area. Their activity groups are well thought-out and combined so that every child can find their favourite activity. All the staff are very accommodating and communicative towards parents and fully respect the child, whop then becomes fond of the place very quickly and their time at the school goes without any problems.

I´d like to write a few lines about the Creative Kids school and the impression I and my son got of it. My three-year old son Tomáš has been attending the school since the end of February. The first thing that I noticed were the school premises. The lovely surroundings are adapted to the needs of children, from tiny toddlers up to preschool. The children can do all sorts of activities. At the same time, the school is generally very well designed. The vibe around the school is great and you can see it in the children. The garden attached to the house is a really nice piece of work, and lets the kids have lots of fun. From the swings, sandpit, slide, paddling-pool and other equipment, children have lots of other options to take part in other activities. The team of people looking after the teacher is truly excellent. The teachers are very pleasant and understand children very well. Since he started going to the school, my son has made great progress, both in communication and in his skills and learning new things. I´m really happy that we were able to attend Creative Kids and won´t hear a word against it. I warmly recommend it to other parents and children who want good and responsible care taken of their child, who at the same time learns lots of interesting things. If it´s possible, we always like to come and have a look round and spend some time here over the holidays.

Creative Kids was the first school my daughter Gabby went to, when she was three years old. Before that she´d only gone to a nursery school for three hours once a week. I was worried in case we wouldn´t manage it, because I was starting work at the same time as well. It was a big relief to me when I saw that Gabby didn´t have any major problems with going to school (she didn´t cry or say she didn´t want to go). Gabby´s always curious about things, so it was really good for her that the teachers take a lot of time with the children and explain things to them; they try to talk about things with the children and also devote time to them individually. I think that children really need this kind of care at the age of three. Gabby now goes to the state school (for financial reasons), but I´m glad that she was able to attend Creative Kids for at least 9 months, because even though the teachers at her current school are nice, they give her far less attention and don´t really take the time to develop her skills.

I would like to share a few of my impressions about my daughter´s attendance at the Creative Kids nursery school. Karolinka started to attend the school when she was three years old. She was strongly attached to her mother, didn´t like change, and didn´t like communicating with strangers. Morning goodbyes were often quite fraught. But, in spite of initial difficulties, the teachers were able to capture her attention and engage her in activities in an absolutely amazing way. Their approach to their work, but most importantly their passion, elan, creativity, patience and enthusiasm for their work, is amazing. After just few months, Kaja became more mature: she is now more self-confident, more fearless; she has learnt many new songs and switches between English and Czech songs without hesitation. My older daughter used to attend a state school, and, in comparison, two years there equals two months in Creative Kids! In my opinion, Karolina´s attendance at Creative Kids is undoubtedly the best investment that my husband and I could have given her.
