Explore the world with Uwekind!

Educating the youngest ones has long-standing traditions at Uwekind. The Uwekind kindergarten education dates back the furthest – to 1997. It is the place where children grow and become aware of themselves as independent individuals, who are loved and understood.

Foreign language

We foster an environment that is open to the world and to various traditions and cultures. Early foreign language instruction furthers the process of studying and exploring the world. At Uwekind, we follow our own curriculum, developed over many years from personal experience.

Individual approach

Every child is unique in his or her individuality and strong qualities, which we aim to get to know and support. In order to meet the different learning needs, we apply an individual approach and different strategies to every child, engaging everyone into diverse activities, planned during our dynamic everyday work.

The exploratory spirit

We encourage the children to reveal their natural curiosity and to ask questions, as they develop thinking, communication and independent learning skills. Every child is motivated and supported while participating in various activities.

We give a hand to every “little” person, who embarked on the challenge of getting to know the world outside of home. To join our Uwekind family, your child must be at least 3 years old.
The adaptation period

Admission to kindergarten traditionally starts in January and continues until the groups are full. If free places are available, it is also possible to apply during the rest of the year.

The “getting used to” period is the most important time in the life of a family and hence it should pass with calm. The important thing is, together with the parents, to make the child feel that he or she is loved, that new friendships will be formed and that marvelous days lie ahead, where the child can grow up happily.

Our experience has taught us that it is of high importance that parents prepare their child emotionally before the kindergarten admission process begins. We advise that you bring your child with you for your first visit, so that he or she can meet the children and teachers and see the building, the yard, the rooms and the toys.

Parents must be ready to stay with their child in the kindergarten during the first week, longer at the beginning, shorter as time goes by, but surely as long as is recommended by the teachers.

To feel at home during the process of adaptation, the child can bring anything that would help him or her to feel calm and safe to kindergarten. It could be a favourite toy or an object associated with home.

Groups

The Uwekind kindergarten has the following age groups:

  • 3 to 4-year-olds
  • 4 to 5-year-olds
  • 5 to 6-year-olds (the preschool class)
Working hours and vacations
The kindergarten is open from 8:00 to 18:00 every workday from the 1st of September until the 31st of July.

The kindergarten is closed on weekends, national Bulgarian holidays, between Christmas and New Year’s and in August.

Interdisciplinary projects

The topics we work on connect different teaching areas. The interdisciplinary approach is directed towards the development of a wholesome individual, through an active participation of the child in different practical activities.

Theatre, arts and sports

Every child at our kindergarten is motivated to express himself or herself in theatrical performances, festivities, exhibitions and art workshops. From the earliest age, we teach the importance of physical activity, an attitude that lasts a lifetime.

Games and outdoor activities

Children in kindergarten have contact with nature on a daily basis, passing a lot of time outdoors. Our building is located at the foot of Vitosha and the yard is a favourite place not only for games, but also for outdoor activities.
Every child comes to us with their individuality and strong qualities. We will gladly meet with you and your child and tell you more about our curriculum, mission and philosophy.

Our parents

I found out about the “Uwekind” kindergarten long before having children. It was wintertime, I was passing by a house, where I saw many children in the yard, playing and having fun in the snow. Children in the snow! I hadn’t seen such beauty in years. Usually, the kindergarten yards are empty during “bad” weather. Years passed and it was time to look for a kindergarten for my daughter. The first place I went to was “Uwekind”. It turned out to be the last one, too.
I recommend the “Uwekind” kindergarten to parents who want their children to feel loved and desired. Real professionals work here. Teachers are of a high level and the children gain knowledge and skills, which we, parents, didn’t even suspect that they were capable of gaining. Theatrical troops and musicians come to visit the kindergarten. There are also ballet and karate workshops. German is learned in such a way, that children are able to perform entire theatre plays in it. But the most important thing for me is that my daughter is happy.
