The Espania Nursery School is the first school in Slovakia specialising in young children’s mathematical intelligence. Developing logic and imagination in children aged 2 to 7 requires a vastly different approach from that used in primary schools. Perhaps that is why mathematics at Espania is a fascinating subject for children, filled with engaging, intelligent, social, or individual games, geometric puzzles, construction activities, and three-dimensional structures. These are introduced gradually, allowing children to progress according to their own abilities. Mastering each new level means solving a new mathematical challenge. Even children as young as three can successfully work with numbers.
However, our most important achievement is that children find mathematics easy.
Through storytelling, role-playing, and group activities, children learn about themselves, their families, and the world around them. They explore various professions, practice daily routines, and develop an awareness of safety - from fire drills to traffic signs. Lessons on cultural traditions, environmental care, and basic economic concepts help them gain a deeper understanding of their surroundings.
By fostering empathy, responsibility, and teamwork, we prepare them to become kind and engaged members of society.
At Espania, Natural Science lessons are full of hands-on activities that allow children to explore the world of animals, plants, planets, and natural phenomena. Activities include games focused on understanding the elements of nature, the cycle of life, experiments, planting, observing the metamorphosis of butterflies, and learning about ants and fish. We also invite guest experts, such as therapy dog handlers and falconers, and organize special events like ‘Pet Day’ or visits to the zoo.
For children aged five and above, we offer smart experimental kits, such as Ecosystem, Greenhouse, Crystals, and Mini Garden. In the Ecosystem kit, children grow different plants in a sealed transparent space that mimics the conditions of a greenhouse, just like our planet Earth.
Children explore their surroundings - from their home and neighbourhood to distant continents and oceans. They learn to read simple maps, recognise landmarks, and understand time zones. Topics such as volcanoes, the Arctic, and various cultures help them discover the diversity of our planet.
By studying landscapes, transportation, and communities, they develop a sense of direction and a better understanding of how people live in different parts of the world. Through storytelling, they embark on journeys to other countries, gradually realising that these distant worlds truly exist.
Teaching children who they are, where they live, and how their world differs from others is crucial for their future development.
Art is a journey of creativity, history, and self-expression. Children experiment with colours, textures, and unique materials such as sand, clay, and fabrics. Inspired by different artistic movements, they explore Egyptian hieroglyphs, Renaissance shading techniques, and surreal dreamlike landscapes.
Storytelling through visual art, shadow play, and group projects helps boost their confidence and imagination. Whether painting, sculpting, or designing, each child discovers their own artistic voice.
