Things really came to life here before Easter! We decorated eggs down to the very last detail, gave our bunnies a fresh new look, and created other spring decorations that children made together with their parents.
It was a cheerful time – full of colors, lively conversations, and the joy of creating.
The result? Lovingly made Easter decorations.

We were delighted to welcome colleagues from the Czech Republic to our kindergarten as part of the Erasmus+ programme.
During their two-day visit, they had the opportunity to explore our environment, observe how we work, and see our approach to education in practice.
We prepared open lessons focused on:
📖 early literacy development
💻 meaningful use of technology
🔬 STEAM education
🌍 development of a bilingual environment
It wasn’t just about presentations, but about sharing real experience that can be applied in everyday practice.
Thank you for your visit and the inspiring discussions.
All three of our Giraffe classes took part in an ice skating course at Pupava Ice Arena.
Each preschool class completed its own week-long course, during which the children gradually gained confidence on the ice.
Thanks to the great coaches, even complete beginners became confident little skaters. 👏
At the end, everyone received a well-deserved diploma. 🏅
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU MEET
a tornado dancing with a dinosaur, or have the chance to greet a walking Titanic and hug a pink butterfly? Why, at the carnival in BESST Kindergarten, of course!

Today, our kindergarten welcomed parents to a special event where the children presented their activities from the FIRST LEGO League – FLL tournament. 👧👦🧩
They are part of the youngest age category, and this year’s theme was archaeology. The children proudly showed what they have learned during educational activities, how they work with LEGO sets, and how they solve tasks inspired by FLL – a competition that supports creativity, teamwork, and playful discovery. 🏺🔍
A big thank you to all the parents for joining us, for your support, and for creating such a positive atmosphere.
We are very proud of our children! ❤️
We enjoyed many fun winter moments!
The children had a great time playing outside in the snow. They built snowmen, made snowy paths, and enjoyed winter games.
In the classroom, we tried interesting “ice” experiments , where the children observed how ice behaves and what it can do.
Our children bravely took the stage at the Christmas podium in Trnava. They sang in front of the entire square and delighted everyone who stopped by.
The children’s Christmas performances filled us all with joy and a wonderful festive spirit. Through songs, dances, and short scenes, the children created a magical and unforgettable Christmas atmosphere. Our heartfelt thanks go to the teachers for their creative work, dedication, and patience, as well as to the parents for their support.

In our kindergarten, the children had the opportunity to enjoy an engaging presentation called “How the Little Apple Traveled”, prepared by an employee of Plantex – our supplier of the School Fruit Program funded by the EU. The children tried cleaning apples, explored different varieties, watched an educational video, and learned how an apple grows on a tree, from a small blossom all the way to delicious fruit. It was a wonderful and fun experience full of discovery, scents, and flavors.
We were honoured by a visit of St. Nicholas and his angel at our kindergarten. As every year, he brought packages full of healthy treats to children. Our children truly deserve it because they are not only good but also very well-behaved. St. Nicholas happily listened to the beautiful poems and songs that the children had prepared for him.
We thank St. Nicholas and the angel for their visit and we are looking forward to see them again!
Our preschoolers from the Giraffes 1 and Giraffes 2 visited the Senior Home in Šelpice and the Senior Home in Hrnčiarovce, where they prepared a short program for the residents.
The children sang, danced, and joyfully handed out handmade gifts created especially for the seniors.
Their performance brought many smiles, joy, and touching moments to our dear seniors. 🧡
We thank the children for their wonderful energy and the teachers for preparing the program.
Kindness and respect connect generations – and during this lovely visit, it was felt at every step. 🤝✨
Recently, our classrooms transformed into creative workshops filled with autumn vibes. The children wore colorful autumn masks and enthusiastically crafted many beautiful creations.
The entire day was accompanied by fun discos and mysterious little plays, adding a magical touch to the event. A big thank you to everyone who joined in – it was a day full of joy, creativity, and smiles! 🍂✨
The children from our kindergarten visited the RMjet traffic playground in Trnava. Riding balance bikes and bicycles, they learned the rules of the road through play, got to know traffic signs, and tried out the role of little drivers. At the end, they received their own “driver’s licenses” and watched an educational video about road safety. It was an educational and fun day full of new experiences.
Summer at BESST triky never went quiet – some children spent joyful days with us even during the holidays. But yesterday is marked with a special moment – after the summer break, our classrooms were filled with laughter and old friends again. We also welcomed new kindergarteners, too.
We’re opening a new chapter full of play, joy, friendships and all the little and big adventures waiting for us this year.
We can’t wait to experience it all together!
Today, we welcomed our little visitors to our kindergarten for Adaptation Day. The children had the chance to explore the classrooms, our spaces, meet the teachers, and of course, make new friends. Together, they enjoyed a tasty snack and had lots of fun.
During the visit, parents met with our principal and received all the important information about how our school operates. We truly enjoyed our time together and are already looking forward to all the new friends who will soon join us.
Princesses, Castles, and Fairy-Tale Adventures
This week was filled with a fairy-tale atmosphere as the classrooms transformed into small kingdoms. The children listened to stories about brave knights, wise queens, and curious princesses. There were even small plays featuring scenes from their favorite fairy tales.
The whole week was full of creativity, laughter, and imagination – just as it should be in a true kingdom.
This week, our children have dived into the fascinating world of water. They are exploring its many forms – from rain and lakes to the sea and even snow. We play, experiment, paint drops and waves, and learn why water is so essential for life.
Together, we discovered the water cycle and talked about ways we can help protect this precious resource.
Learning can be so much fun!
This week at our kindergarten, we set off “on a journey” – with a book in hand and imagination in our minds. The children became little travelers, discovering the world through stories.
Together, we “traveled” through the classroom and the school yard, tried out different means of transport – even paper ones – and explored countries, animals, and nature. It is proved that every day brought a new adventure with a book. You can travel anywhere.
Thank to all the children for their enthusiasm – and here are a few snapshots from our adventurous week
We spent beautiful moments exploring the theme “A Book Where Plants Grow” during this week.
The children planted seeds with their own hands and observed how they sprouted — both in the classroom and outside.
Our art workshops were filled with flowers, herbs, and fruit, and our storytime was all about nature, growth, and caring for all living things.
Take a look at how much the children enjoyed this green week.
During the first week of the holidays, the children are enjoying heartwarming summer stories about the sea, boats, and pirates – inspired by books like Pippi Longstocking Goes Aboard, When I Become a Captain, and Tappi’s Journey Across the Shimmering Seas.
Together, we pretend to be sailors, make telescopes, draw treasure maps, and create sunny, seaside-themed artwork. The children are enjoying peaceful, playful days filled with games, friendships, and the magic of summer imagination.
